EMTT
What is EMTT?
EMTT® is a noninvasive, evidence-based procedure developed specifically for the treatment of degenerative joint disorders, acute and chronic pain, and sports injuries. It uses high-energy magnetic pulses transmitted to the affected areas of the body. Due to the high oscillation frequency, EMTT® enables a high penetration depth and treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
What conditions does EMTT treat?
The team at Robert Pauline Hands-On PT is THE ONE AND ONLY provider in the Central Valley using EMTT®. We have had great success address the following musculoskeletal conditions:
- Degenerative joint disorders
- Pinched nerves (Radiculopathy)
- Chronic and acute pain
- Overuse and acute sports injuries
- Work-related injuries
- Osteoporosis related pain
- Trigger points and chronic muscle spasms
- Delayed fracture healing
Does my insurance cover EMTT?
Regenerative medicine is not yet covered by health insurance in the United States. Much like PRP and Stem Cell therapies people who want the benefits of regenerative medicine are usually paying out of pocket. We do accept HSA and Flex Savings accounts. 8 EMTT sessions are about the same price as a single PRP injection and far less expensive than stem cell therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many EMTT® Treatments are Required?
Depending on the diagnosis, tolerance to treatment, and extent of damage, sessions may be conducted one to two times a week. A standard treatment is 8 sessions in a four week period. The treatment takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes (4000-8000 impulses). Many patients report a significant improvement in their symptoms after just a few sessions. EMTT® is often combined with shockwave therapy for enhanced effects.
It is safe to use EMTT® daily or on multiple body parts on the same day (not to exceed 1500 impulses per day).
What are the local doctors saying about EMTT?
“I’ve sent a number of athletes to Robert Pauline Hands on Physical Therapy for EMTT and have seen amazing results. They have been able to return to sports participation quicker and with fewer long term problems than with traditional therapies alone. I’ll continue to send patients for this treatment!” Dr Will van Beever, DO
“I have confidently referred patients to Hands on PT and have also been a patient myself. Their clinical expertise, professionalism, genuine care, and use of novel modalities like EMTT are unmatched. Whether treating complex cases or guiding recovery with compassion and precision, they consistently deliver outstanding results. I highly recommend Hands on PT to anyone seeking top-tier physical therapy.” Dr Jesse Alifano, DO Pediatric Specialist
“I was dealing with a leg pain for 6 weeks with no improvement. After 2 weeks of EMTT, my symptoms were 80% better! It was so relieving to finally feel my body healing” Dr Lian Quatch, DO General Surgeon.
What do the national experts say about EMTT?
Dr. Abhishek Patel, DO, a pain management expert, shares: “EMTT therapy is a game changer for patients who have reached a plateau with standard interventions. Combining it with established treatments, like shockwave or physical therapy, often yields results that surpass what either modality could achieve alone.”
Dr. Henry Sardar, DO, a renowned pain management specialist in Brooklyn, remarks: “EMTT therapy provides a novel mechanism of action consistent with our increasing understanding of tissue regeneration and cellular health. While not a cure-all, it is a substantial advancement in non invasive pain management.”
What do our patients have to say about EMTT?
“After suffering a meniscus tear last fall, I was unsure if I’d ever regain full mobility or be able to run again without pain. Thankfully, I went to see the team at Robert Pauline Physical Therapy and we worked together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan—including shockwave therapy and EMTT — and the results have been better than I could have hoped for.
EMTT sessions took things to another level by accelerating the healing process and improving joint function in a way I didn’t think was possible without surgery. I was a little skeptical at first about EMTT because as you receive treatment, you really don’t feel anything so it’s hard to know if something is really working or not. Week by week I found my confidence in my bodies ability to perform daily functions increase, and my swelling and pain decrease. I believe this is because we partnered shockwave therapy with EMTT.” Nicole 43 yr old runner and mother of 4.
