Richter Family Chiropractic has a Storz Medical Magnetolith in the office. Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy — EMTT — is a high-energy pulsed electromagnetic field device used for musculoskeletal conditions. It is contact-free: nothing presses against the treatment area. EMTT is offered as a modality alongside chiropractic care, and is commonly applied in the same visit as shockwave when your doctor considers both appropriate.
Several therapies used together, each doing a different job. Which of them apply to you is decided by your examination — not everyone receives all of them.
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy delivered with a Storz Medical Magnetolith, a high-energy pulsed electromagnetic field device used for musculoskeletal conditions.
Nothing presses against the treatment area. The ring applicator is positioned over the region being treated rather than held against it, so the session does not depend on contact or pressure.
ShockWave delivers acoustic pressure waves through the tissue. EMTT uses a pulsed electromagnetic field instead. They are different mechanisms, which is why your doctor may use one, the other, or both.
EMTT is a modality within an overall plan, not a standalone product. It is combined with adjustments and rehabilitation so that joint motion and load through the area are addressed as well as the tissue itself.
No surprises. Here's exactly how it works from your first call to your recovery.
Your doctor determines whether EMTT is appropriate for your condition, and whether it belongs alongside shockwave, Class IV laser, or chiropractic care. That decision comes out of your examination rather than from a fixed package.

No. You stay clothed. Because the applicator is positioned over the area rather than against the skin, there is no gel and nothing needs to be exposed.
Both depend on your examination findings, and any office quoting you a number before examining you is guessing. Your doctor lays out what is indicated, how it is sequenced, and what it costs on your second visit, after the examination — rather than after you have already started.

Knee arthritis and chronic knee pain, rotator cuff, frozen shoulder and shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis and heel pain, tendon and soft tissue pain, joint pain, and back pain. Whether it is appropriate for your case is decided by your examination.
Yes. As with any device of this type there are situations where it is not appropriate, and some depend on your medical history and any implanted devices you have. Your doctor screens for this at the examination before EMTT is used. Bring a list of your implants, devices and current conditions to your first visit.
Coverage varies by plan, and EMTT is not covered by every policy. Richter Family Chiropractic accepts cash payment, insurance, and attorney liens on personal-injury cases. Call the office at (951) 817-9815 and the front desk will go over what applies to your situation before you commit to anything.
