EMTT- Extracorporeal Magneto transduction Therapy
Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT®)
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT® is a non-invasive treatment that has been specially developed for treating musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and other disorders and when combined with other technologies has been found to substantially improve men’s sexual health problems – Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s Disease and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS).
This cutting-edge advanced equipment is now a core component of our treatment protocols. We use it in conjunction with our Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Nano Vi Exo and Functional Magnetic Stimulation (TESLA Chair). We have found that EMTT combined with these technologies is a ‘game changer’ for many people struggling with chronic men’s health conditions.
Damaged Cells Recover Faster With EMTT Treatment
Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy works on a microscopic cell level. An intense magnetic field reaches the endothelial cells within the millions of blood vessels in the penis. These cells produce energy, transfer nutrients and aid in cell regeneration while promoting your overall environment to enable faster healing and the recovery of sexual function to normal levels.
The CE approved, Magnetolith EMTT is capable of generating a wide range of frequencies at varying levels of power. This allows us to set precise adjustments most suitable for your condition.
What Happens During EMTT Treatment?
You will find that treatment is fast and comfortable and completely pain free on the penis, direct skin contact is not necessary.
The loop of the EMMT applicator – shown in the image on the right – is placed directly above the penis and the clinician giving you the treatment will adjust the level of the mechanical stimuli so that you are comfortable and receive the optimum level of stimulation.
Treatment is usually repeated up to six times over a number of weeks depending on your condition and the advice of our specialists.
A study done by Zablotskii et al (2016)* discusses how various mechanical stimuli exerted on cells induce changes in plasma membrane tension, eliciting Piezo channel opening. The resulting cation influx can trigger sensory neuron firing or activation of intracellular calcium signalling pathways such as adenosine triphosphate/nitric oxide (ATP/NO) release by endothelial cells.
This indicates beneficial effects for Erectile Dysfunction sufferers.

FAQ's
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (Li-SWT) is a treatment modality that utilizes acoustic (sound) waves to target damaged or impaired tissue to encourage the body to create healthier tissue. It also helps stimulate blood vessel growth. Shockwave therapy has been safely used for decades. Today it is being successfully used to treat conditions such as erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s Disease, and sometimes male or female pelvic pain.
How Does Shockwave for ED Work?
Shockwave therapy is an alternative to traditional treatments, such as oral medications (Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis), vacuum erection devices, injectable medications, and intra-urethral suppositories.
When treating ED with shockwave therapy, low-intensity shock waves are applied to different treatment zones on the penis and on the perineum. Using targeted high-energy sound waves, Li-ESWT can speed up tissue repair and improve blood flow, nerve regeneration, and cell growth. This helps improve the strength and quality of erections.
Is Shockwave Therapy Painful?
While “shockwave” on the surface may sound unpleasant, patients typically tolerate it well. It applies short, frequent, and high-intensity bursts of energy (in the form of ultrasonic sound waves) into soft tissue. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during or after their procedure.
What Should I Expect for My Appointment?
Prior to your appointment, you may be instructed to shave the affected area. For example, you may be asked to shave the testes and penis prior to treatment for ED. There are no other preparations needed for your procedure.
Appointments take approximately 30 minutes, and the procedure itself usually takes about 15-20 minutes. However, sessions may be longer depending on the customised treatment for each individual. Patients usually require six (6) treatments, with the effects expected to last for two to three years. The treatment may be repeated, if needed, after that timeframe.
Treatments are not uncomfortable, and people do not require pain relief or aesthetic; however, patients may have soreness, redness, or some bruising in the treatment area. There are no restrictions following the therapy, but you should take it easy for the rest of the day.
How Much Does Shockwave Therapy Cost?
Medical aid do not cover Shockwave Therapy, and patients should expect to pay out-of-pocket. At Shockwave Clinic, the cost pr treatment is Rand 2400.00 and 6-8 weekly treatments are normally required as the minimal about of treatments to get the full benefit.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right For You?
Your urologist will discuss your individual situation and help you determine if shockwave therapy is an appropriate treatment option for you.
