Pain relief and cartilage regenaration

What causes pain in joints?

Between our bones are cushions of cartilage, which prevent grinding of the bones. When the layers of cartilage wear out, the bones begin to grind against each other, causing extreme pain. Under normal circumstances, the body replaces cartilage which is controlled by tiny electrical signals. These electrical signals are created inside our body. Due to diseases - e.g. osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, aging or injury the normal replacement of cartilage is disturbed, causing pain and inflammation.

What causes osteoarthritis?

Primary osteoarthritis is mostly related to aging. Over the years of over use the cartilage between joints get inflamed and starts degenerating. In advanced situation, there is a total loss of the cartilage cushion between bones of the joints leading to pain and limitation of joint mobility.

How does Pulsed Electromagnetic field reduce pain in joints?

When connective tissue is injured the physiological function of Electromagnetic signalling is disturbed or lost. Pulsed signal Technology, as external, biophysical signal (stimulus) of physiological energy parameters and waveform, passively induces 'fluid flow' to the injured area, creating 'streaming potentials' that induce biophysical-biochemical coupling and subsequent signal transduction. By this it activates repair and regenerative processes of cartilage. Once the process is initiated it restores the innate physiological signal which enables these regenerative and repair processes to continue naturally.

What is Emitron?

Emitron is a modern medical device used in European Countries which uses pulsed electromagnetic field for the treatment of Osteoarthritis. It works particularly to cure the following ailments

• Knee Pain - Osteoarthritis of Knees
• Hip Pain - Osteoarthritis of Hip
• Neck Pain - Cervical Spondylitis
• Back Pain - Lumbar Spondylitis

A full course of therapy consist of 15, 1-hour treatment, administered on consecutive working days, for cervical, thoracic, lumbar spines, shoulder joint, hip joint and knee joint.

What are the advantages of Emitron?

• The treatment is totally painless.
• It is very safe and risk free.
• Hospitalization not required.
• Long term follow-up.
• Sustained Efficacy.
• Extremely cost effective.

Is the therapy painful?

Some patients may experience a slight tingling, or warm sensation initially.They may also experience a transient change in the nature, or intensification, of the pain. These are considered a positive tissue response to Emitron therapy and indicates positive effect.

Initial double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies conducted under the direction of the Yale University School of medicine on humans and published in the highly respected Journal of Rheumatology indicate that more than 70% of patients treated showed a significant improvement. Clinical studies conducted around the world, have confirmed the initial results. To date, over half a million people have received Pulsed electromagnetic field treatment at 750 clinics worldwide.

What benefits do patients receive from Emitron treatment?

• As shown through studies and the results of thousands of actual cases, Approximately 80% of patients experience a reduction in pain and inflammation combined with an increase in physical function.
• Some patients are free of all symptoms following treatment, others find their symptoms greatly reduced.
• Many patients are able to cut back on their medication or discontinue it altogether.

Where is it being used?

Since the 1980's PEMF's have been used in Russia and Hungary and now are used worldwide. It is currently being used in more than 750 clinics and medical institutes.
