„I am pain-free! And that since my therapy.“

MBST®: Targeted relief for back pain

MBST® is designed to stimulate cartilage cells to regenerate, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support active living with an improved quality of life.

Understanding back pain

A common problem

75% of working people experience occasional or chronic back pain. It is the second most common reason for sick leave¹ and often leads to extended periods of absence. Persistent back issues may even result in early retirement.

Those living with chronic pain know how much it can impact their quality of life, affecting not only leisure time but also daily routines and work.

What causes the pain?

Knowing the cause of the pain is essential for a successful treatment. But back pain can have many causes: prolapsed disc, degenerative changes due to wear and tear, acute inflammation… Back pain can also be a symptom of other conditions, such as vertebral fractures caused by osteoporosis.

Intervertebral discs cushion the vertebrae, while facet joints allow the spine to move. This vertebral canal protects the nerves and the spinal cord. The surrounding muscles support the spine, working alongside intervertebral discs, bones, cartilage, nerves, and muscles. As a complex system, damage to one part of the spine often causes issues in other areas.

This is why a comprehensive treatment plan that combines different therapies is important—to quickly reduce pain and promote long-term recovery.

Painkillers and surgery

How is back pain treated conventionally?

Most conventional treatments focus only on symptoms, using pain-relieving or anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants. Because disc tissue has a slow metabolism, the body’s natural regeneration takes a long time and often cannot keep up with the damage caused by wear and tear.

Failed treatments for chronic pain not only leave patients with ongoing pain and limitations but also create worries about future employment and financial security.

Many patients seek quick relief through surgery, but health insurance data has consistently shown that up to 88% of back surgeries are unnecessary.² Unless surgery is urgently needed, such as for paralysis, non-surgical treatments combined with physiotherapy are often more effective and less invasive.²

Why choose MBST® for back pain?

Targeting the cause of the pain
MBST® targets the root cause of the pain: the damaged spinal tissues – discs, vertebrae, cartilage or nerves. By stimulating cells, MBST® encourages several biophysical processes within the cells which may help restore a healthy metabolism.3-7
Stimulating natural regeneration

This may activate natural repair processes to promote regeneration and repair mechanisms. Quick pain relief can make everyday activities and effective physiotherapy much easier.

Clinically confirmed
Scientific studies, conducted in collaboration with various universities, confirm the positive effects of MBST® on pain signalling pathways, inflammatory reactions and nerve regeneration.3-8
Improving Daily Life
Clinical data shows that treated patients experienced a significant reduction in pain, along with improvements in symptoms like sleep disturbances and difficulty bending or dressing.9 Patients treated with MBST® had fewer sick days compared to those who received only standard treatment.10

Targeting the cell

MBST® aims to support the body’s natural regeneration processes directly within the cells.

Supporting regeneration

Targeted cell stimulation encourages various biophysical processes within the tissue, potentially promoting regeneration and tissue development.

Reduced pain, improved mobility

Studies show reduced pain levels—sometimes even complete pain relief—along with improved mobility and movement.¹¹

The results speak for themselves

FAQ

Q

What are the side effects of MBST® therapy?

A
There have been no reported side effects of MBST® therapy in more than 20 years of application and about 2 million hours of treatment.
Q

How long does the effect of the MBST® therapy last?

A

Patient data shows that significant pain reduction could still be observed years after therapy.* If needed, MBST® treatment can be repeated as often as required.

Q

Will I immediately feel better after treatment?

A
MBST® therapy cannot reverse long-term damage overnight. If you don’t feel an immediate effect, it doesn’t mean the treatment hasn’t worked. Many patients report rapid improvements in mobility and pain relief, with some experiencing complete relief, and sometimes during the course of treatment.8-11 Depending on the individual and their diagnosis, other patients only start to feel the effects several weeks and up to three months after treatment.
