EMTT® in Leighton Buzzard

What is EMTT®?

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is a cutting edge technology that offers pain relief for a range of chronic conditions. Based on over 20 years of research into Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy.

EMTT® is a largely risk-free and side-effect-free method. As a patient, you will find the therapy very comfortable: The therapy loop is positioned over the area of pain while you remain fully clothed – direct skin contact is not necessary.

It is a non-invasive procedure that differs from other forms of magnetic field therapy due to its higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength, also known as effective transduction power. It is believed that these properties can enhance healing processes and reduce inflammation.

We either use it alone or in conjunction with our Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) equipment. In fact, EMTT combined with Shockwave Therapy is a ‘game changer’ for people struggling with chronic conditions.

This technology was CE approved in March 2020 and Woodside Clinic is one of only a handful of Clinics in the UK offering this new treatment.
