How Does MBST Work?
How does it work?
The cells that cover our joints are called Chondrocytes which form a smooth friction free surface on which our joints move. They make their own low oxygen and low energy environment and get their energy from dismantling other proteins which diffuse into them.
Various factors such as chronic inflammation and trauma, all contribute to cell damage. Inflammation is the start of the attempted healing phase, but it only has a short time to complete its repair tasks, otherwise the healing phase is interrupted. This can lead to degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis unless kept under control.
A constant energy supply is needed by the cells to orchestrate and direct these processes towards repair, which is reduced as we age.
This energy comes from cellular fuel called ATP which is made in specialised cells within the chondrocyte’s environment called Mitochondria.
Cellular energy is regulated and monitored by a specialised protein called AMPK. This protein is the energy control centre of the cell and plays a pivotal role in regulating whether the cells live or die.
When low cellular energy is detected, a message is sent along specialist pathways that fire up the cell’s engines to fold in on themselves and produce more energy. This process is termed Autophagy.
In Osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions, there are reduced levels of ATP and Autophagy resulting in the cells not being allowed to survive.
MBST delivers a targeted energy directly into the damaged cells, stocking up their energy reserves, which prevents destructive inflammatory reactions being activated and promotes cellular repair.
What is Cell Regeneration?
MBST is made up of a treatment unit that uses three different electro-magnetic fields. The magnetic fields alternate, reacting with the damaged cells in order to stimulate their regeneration. This results in increased function of the joint, often eliminating the need for surgery.
Patients can be treated whilst relaxing, lying down or in a chair, depending on the area being treated by MBST. Most patients can be treated over seven to nine sessions.
Conditions which can be treated with MBST
MBST has known to be successful in treating the conditions:
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Muscle, Ligament and Tendon Damage
- Sports and Accident Injuries
- Bruised Bones
- Cartilage Damage
- Fractures
- Nerve Damage after injury/surgery
What to expect when undergoing MBST treatment…
How much does the treatment cost?
Typically, you will spend £1,500 for 9 treatment hours, however there are cheaper options for different pathologies.
How long is the treatment?
- Nine, 1-hour sessions, in which time you can move around in a non-claustrophobic environment (if you need to get up and go to the loo that is no problem!).
- You do not need to take your clothes off, the only thing we will ask you to remove is your smart watch.
- If you do wear a pacemaker, that is okay, we will just need to check it first.
Do I need to be referred to start the treatment?
- Yes, you will need a pre-MBST physiotherapy assessment by one of our five Chartered Physiotherapists.
- MBST may not be suitable for your pathology which may require an alternative therapy. One our physiotherapists will direct you to the most relevant pathway to optimise healing.
What does the MBST process involve?
A typical timeline of many patients we refer for MBST would be:
- You have a condition that is painful, does not respond to painkillers or improve over time.
- You review the options available to manage your symptoms and pain.
- Usually this would involve conventional treatment with the NHS i.e., taking painkillers until you are assessed and possibly referred for surgery.
- You have undergone a series of exercises which have exacerbated your symptoms.
At Oakwood MBST we have another option…
Book a Physiotherapy consultation with one of our Physiotherapists, who will assess and discuss your suitability for MBST treatment.
What are the side effects?
To date, there are no known side effects.
However, we do advise all our patients to drink 3+ litres of water whilst you are undergoing your treatment to maintain a good level of hydration.Will I immediately feel better after the treament?
Some patients can respond very quickly and notice a huge reduction in pain after a few treatment sessions.
However, most patients can expect a significant change to pain 4-5 weeks after completing the treatment.
At Oakwood MBST we hope to expect a measurable difference in your function and quality of life 3 months after completing your MBST course.
Will I need to have the treatment again?
The MBST machine can continue to work and target the origin of the problem for several years after you have finished the course.
In severe cases, we may recommend a few top-up sessions after one year of completing the treatment.
Are there any studies to prove the effectiveness of MBST?
Take a look at our previous patients’ stories, explaining their experience of their treatment using MBST. Or alternatively read the below studies:
2011 Osteoarthritis Levers Staat-vanLaack – Analysis of the long-term effect of the MBST
Will the pain ever come back?
Conditions such as Arthritis are degenerative conditions which deteriorate through time. MBST treatment can make your symptoms improve but like a small puncture in a tyre, for example, you may have to pump it up again in future. Again, this is dependent on the individual and the severity of your condition.
About MBST
What is MBST?
MBST therapy is a technological innovation used to counteract the negative effects of degenerative disorders of the musculoskeletal system such as arthritis.
The principal of MBST technology is based on the use of nuclear resonance, electromagnetic fields, originally used for MRI diagnosis. Unlike MRI, MBST does not use magnetic resonance to generate images, but rather to biophysically stimulate the regenerative processes of specific cells or tissues at a molecular level.
Once the cells of the affected area or injury have been sufficiently stimulated from MBST therapy, the cells will continue to grow and develop by themselves.Circadian Rhythm
Chronobiologists identified the significance of the Circadian Rhythm on health.
The body’s circadian rhythm is several important biological processes, including cell regeneration. Which are enhanced considerably when the rhythm runs smoothly. (This research won the Nobel prize for medicine in 2017)
Throughout life, external factors can influence and destabilise the circadian rhythm which can, in turn, diminish our body’s ability to heal itself with cell regeneration.
However, MBST technology has demonstrated an active influence on the inner clockwork of cells. The cells successfully re-programme within the body to find the natural rhythm of the younger self. In any specific joint or limb, it can create an environment conducive to natural healing.
In this way, MBST is the only treatment that has been shown to directly stimulate the body’s regenerative processes at molecular level.
The history of MBST
MBST was established in Germany and has been in operation for over 20 years. The treatment offers a comfortable, uncomplicated, and sustainable therapy. In several cases, MBST has eliminated the need for surgery. It is user-friendly and easy to implement and is effective on patients of all ages.
From the initial diagnosis through to aftercare, every patient is fully supported throughout the entire process by healthcare professionals and trained technicians.MBST is completely stress-free, during therapy, there is little to do but lay back and let MBST do the work for you. Most patients bring a book, listen to music, or just take a nap during the hour of comfortable therapy.
See what our patients say about MBST…
Kryshia had MBST treatment on her neck. She said “I have so much more movement in my neck” since the treatment. She began to feel results a few months after finishing and was still feeling the benefits up to a year after post treatment.
In November 2018, I fell down a full flight of stairs and fractured my spine in three places.
I have just completed my nine day course for Osteoporosis, and to my astonishment after six days of treatment I am running as freely as I was before!
Roll on the next few months!
Thank you all at Oakwood MBST for your care.
Adrian was suffering from pain and stiffness in his back and decided to try our MBST treatment following recommendations from several friends. 3 to 4 months after treatment, he could bend more freely and felt more flexible. When doing everyday activities he no longer feels any stiffness.
When asked if he would recommend MBST treatment, Adrian said “very much so, yes I would recommend it wholeheartedly.”
Neil had MBST treatment for his hands as they were very painful and made his physically demanding job more difficult. At his 6 month post MBST follow up, he said he is now living without pain and has no problem with his day to day manual work. After 3 months he saw a 70% improvement and after 6 months a 95% improvement.
“When resting I was in pain, now I’m not and I don’t even think about it any more”.
He was expecting good results after talking to a friend who had a positive experience and said it lived up to his expectations.
“I would 100% recommend it to others”
I am walking much better after my MBST treatment ended 3 weeks ago. I was limping very severely due to a right hip and facet joint problem, it was looking very likely to be a hip replacement…Watch this space. Not bad for a 78 year old!
I cannot thank you enough
Coral was experiencing a lot of pain in her left thigh which was preventing her from walking long distances. She noticed a difference almost immediately after her first session of MBST and after the third or fourth she had no pain at all.
“I really did not expect such treatment to work as quickly or, what so far seems, as well as it has. I would certainly recommend the treatment and would most definitely do it again.”
Guy was suffering with degenerating lower back pain. It was significantly starting to affect his day-to-day activities which led him to MBST treatment. He started to notice a difference 2-3 months into his treatment.
“The main difference is the level of pain (or lack of it) that is no longer a feature of every day… I can now live far more freely and have no fear about not being able to do things.”
“Yes I would recommend it (and I have, to at least half a dozen people) and absolutely yes I would do it again.”
Debbie went on our MBST machine for osteoarthritis in her hands. Before her treatment, she was in constant pain and this affected every aspect of her daily life.
“I can do household chores, use the gears on a car, hold a dog lead, dress myself, write, use a computer keyboard. Obviously I could do all these things before but I was in alot of pain, now I can do all of the above pain free”.
“MBST really exceeded my expectations. I actually didn’t know what to expect, but as I was in so much pain I was prepared to try anything. I would happily do it again! The treatment has honestly changed my life.”
Robert, now 58, suffered a prolapsed disc at aged 26 and has had problems ever since. He had undergone several treatments over the years including sports massage, NHS and private physiotherapy with varying results.
Following his MBST treatment, Robert has been able to return to work on a daily basis and has taken up hiking in the peaks again. He has also started mountain biking after a 4 year break.
“Since having the treatment my lower back pain has disappeared and the sciatic pains down my left leg and inner thigh have gone also.”
“After the nine sessions it was about two weeks when I felt my back was much better”.
“I was a little sceptical as to the effectiveness of the treatment, weighing up the probable results with the costs, but in hindsight it was worth every penny and enabled me to re start work much earlier than anticipated, so it has more than paid for itself as all the other benefits it has brought with it are life changing.”
Anthony had three rounds of MBST treatment for his lower back, hips and neck/shoulders. Five months on, he is now pain free in these areas.
“The MBST treatment plus the altitude therapy which I did from time to time enables me to make at least two 30+ mile mountain bike rides most weeks without any serious discomfort or side effects. I will be 68 in a few months time and feel in great shape for my age. MBST is not cheap but in my book worth every penny!”
“The improvements seem to creep up on you unnoticed and it is only when you take a moment to reflect that you realise that things have actually improved a lot.”
After being sceptical at first, I am absolutely blown away by this machine!
12 weeks ago I was picking my daughter out of her crib and herniated a disk in my back resulting in horrendous pain.
After an awful time, I picked up the phone to contact Ian who suggested MBST, what can I say? It’s been an absolute miracle.
On Day 4 I was on zero painkillers & by Day 8 I was riding my horse again. I cant recommend this enough, I can’t believe you just lay there and it works magic!
Thank you so much!
So far so good, im feeling the benefits! My grip is stronger and my hands feel solid in training.
