What is MBST - nuclear magnetic
resonance therapy?

The nuclear magnetic resonance therapy ( MBST) has been well established over the last years as the conservative therapy for musculoskeletal disorders in Germany, Austria, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Israel, Slovenia and Croatia.
MBST, developed by the MedTec Medizintechnik GmbH, are using the physical phenomenon of the nuclear magnetic resonance, well known from the MRI, the most sophisticated diagnostic procedure.
A therapeutic use of the nuclear magnetic resonance for osteoarthritis (arthrosis), sports and accident injuries, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders of the bones is a reasonable alternative and supplement of today’s existing therapeutic spectrums as there is a tremendous need for effective therapies for these medical problems. In particular, because causal therapies are almost totally lacking and are not able to achieve effect as MBST can do.
Additional advantage of this method is that it has shown no side effects so far and is considered as painless.
Development of the MBST (NuclearMagneticResonanceTherapy)
The development of the therapy equipment, which is using the nuclear magnetic resonance for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, osteoporosis and sports as well as accident injuries was by coincidence. Patients with joint pains reported, initially unexplainable, after frequently used MRI examinations repeatedly about amelioration of their pains. Doctors, biologists and physicists finally came to the conclusion that it could be the phenomenon of the MRI causing this positive effect.
In several years of work they developed therapy systems which use the same physical principle as the MRI units, the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, but with much weaker EM fields and Radio frequencies as the MRI technology. So, from a technological point of view, the nuclear magnetic resonance therapy has been derived from the MRI. Both use the same physical phenomenon.
The therapy equipment from MBST are using field strengths from 0.4 to 2.35 MilliTesla for 17 to 100 kilo Hertz in the magnetic resonance frequency. The field strengths varies depending on the treatment system.
In an opinion of the Physikalischen Instituts der Universität Würzburg, Lehrstuhl für Experimentelle Physik 5, Prof. Dr. P. Jakob (2005), was irrevocable found that the therapy equipment MBST meet all scientific terms to create the conditions of nuclear magnetic resonance by the "fast adiabatic passage. This is also an absolute unique selling proposition against the therapy systems with pulsating magnetic fields on the market, which therapeutically effective elements only a pulsating magnetic field represents. Three fields of different characteristics are necessary contrary to the production of nuclear magnetic resonance conditions:
1) Static main magnetic field
2) Variable sweep dB0/dt field parallel to the main magnetic field
3) EM-changing field B1 (t) must be sufficient with the Larmor – condition and perpendicular to the other fields
These fields are presentable over a magnetic resonance detector and an oscilloscope and mark clearly the detectable therapeutic volume of MBST ® therapy devices. The over the radio frequency modulated treatment sequences agree with the body vibration frequencies so that a stimulation of cartilage and bone tissues takes place.
Numerous studies have been performed over the effectiveness of nuclear magnetic resonance therapy in prestigious universities and research institutes who meet the evidence criteria of medical sciences. All the studies clearly confirmed the regeneration of the cartilage and stimulation of bone formation, as well as significantly clinical improvement.
