Expanding your treatment options -

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has become increasingly popular in recent years, a valuable non-invasive tool for many podiatrists treating multiple pathologies from Plantar Fasciitis to Achilles Tendinopathy. The vast majority of clinicians in the UK, use radial shockwave, which is well evidenced and offers excellent results for patients. The benefits of radial shockwave are outstanding and many clinics choose to start with radial shockwaves. However, there are certain pathologies it cannot treat, this is where focused shockwave therapy expands treatment possibilities. Focused shockwaves are fast impulse/high energy density waves that are able to penetrate deeper into the tissues. Focused shockwaves deliver all of the power to a designated treatment depth of up to 12cm. Practitioners are able target an exact point with complete precision, making it ideal for treatments that require targeting tissue at a deeper level; such as close to bone, calcifications or delayed / non unions. Patients who are unable to tolerate radial treatments for acute injuries will also benefit from focused shockwaves.

EMTT® - The novel anti-inflammatory technology that’s got MSK specialists excited!

Magnetiloth EMTT® is a novel technology that uses high energy magnetic fields for regeneration and rehabilitation at a cellular level. EMTT must not be confused with Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), EMTT is 40% stronger than PEMF, with a much higher oscillation and greater treatment depth of up to 18cm. In contrast to Shockwave Therapy, which initiates a pro-inflammatory response, EMTT® has an anti-inflammatory response, reducing pain and inflammation in acute pain presentation, irritable flare ups, neuropathic pain, diffused pain, degenerative pathologies such as Osteo Arthritis. In these cases, shockwave therapy would not be tolerated well, whereas EMTT® is tolerated, even with the most painful conditions such as rheumatic patients. EMTT® is not a replacement for Shockwave, far from it, these two devices treat very different conditions. It is an excellent tool to add to your current shockwave service or as a stand-alone treatment. Early adopters of the novel technology have described it as a ‘game changer’ for chronic pain and arthritis - patients are loving it.
