Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy in osteitis pubis: an innovative treatment option

In this article, we would like to introduce you to Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) as an innovative means of treating osteitis pubis.

Osteitis pubis – what is it?
Osteitis pubis, also referred to as pubalgia or inflammation of the pubic bone, is a painful syndrome affecting the pubic bone region. This condition is frequent in sportspeople, especially footballers, runners, and athletes in other sports and disciplines involving rapid changes of direction. Osteitis pubis is caused by a non-bacterial inflammation of the pubic bone and the surrounding soft tissues.

Typical symptoms of osteitis pubis are pain in the pelvic region, especially in the region of the pubic bone and groin. The pain – which may occur when walking or running, or during other sporting activities – can become more severe over time. In some cases, it may also lead to swelling and restricted mobility.

Treatment of osteitis pubis typically focuses on conservative measures. These include rest, physiotherapy, stretching exercises, pain medication and targeted muscle-strengthening work. In severe cases, injections or even surgery may be considered, aimed at reducing the inflammation and relieving the pain.

The benefits of Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy
EMTT, applied using the MAGNETOLITH® system, is a promising, non-invasive treatment option for patients with osteitis pubis. This technique makes use of pulsed magnetic fields, the aim being – for instance – to stimulate and support local cell metabolism and thus the healing process in the affected region.*

Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy provides the following benefits and effects:

• Anti-inflammatory effects
  This therapy can reduce non-bacterial inflammation in the pubic bone region and the surrounding tissue.
• Pain relief
  EMTT pulses can help to lessen pelvic pain by enhancing local circulation, reducing inflammation and promoting release of the body’s own pain-killing substances.
• Reduction of oedema
  Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy can contribute towards regression of bone oedema by stimulating local cell metabolism.
• Improved mobility
  This therapy can lessen restrictions in mobility.

If you are suffering from osteitis pubis and seeking non-invasive treatment, Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy may be an option for you. Ask your doctor if EMTT could be appropriate for you and your symptoms, or visit this Website directly to find a practitioner in your area.
