Claim: It’s designed to help with pain and injury by reducing inflammation, easing pain, and supporting faster recovery and long-term mobility, so you can get back to being active.

Support (Easing Pain): Clinical studies showed significant pain relief and reduction in pain intensity and frequency in patients with OA and chronic low back pain (LBP). Functional improvement was noted in patients with OA and low back pain.

Support (Reducing Inflammation): NMRT is designed to reduce inflammation and has been shown to counteract IL-1β induced inflammatory changes. NMRT attenuates the IL-1β-induced increase in NF-κB p65 activity in chondrocytes.

Support (Faster Recovery/Mobility): NMRT enhances neurite network formation and neuronal maturation of DRG neurons in vitro, suggesting accelerated recovery. Furthermore, MBST significantly improves the clinical criterion of how the patient is feeling subjectively, leading to improved function.

Supporting Movement, Strength, & Recovery

Claim: Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing ongoing pain, or protecting bone health, MBST is suitable for people at every stage of life, helping to deliver clinically observed, lasting results.

Support (Recovering from Injury/Pain): MBST is used for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, including arthritis, osteoporosis, sports injuries, and accident-related injuries. It is indicated for people with chronic or acute pain from osteoarthritis, disc issues, and other long-term conditions.

Support (Protecting Bone Health): MBST is used in the therapy of osteoporosis. Studies showed that MBST significantly improved Bone Mineral Density (BMD) T-scores in the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas after 12 months in patients with osteoporosis. NMRT might reduce a risk of fractures in osteoporotic patients.

Support (Lasting Results): MBST delivers lasting benefits well beyond the course of MBST sessions. Clinically observed benefits, including pain reduction and functional improvement, were sustained up to one year and in some cases, lasting up to four years after treatment.

Claim: Healthy cells mean stronger bones. MBST is built to support faster bone cell regeneration, with studies reporting improvements in density and signs of reduced fracture risk in people living with osteoporosis.

Support (Faster Bone Cell Regeneration): In vitro data show NMRT stimulates the proliferation of human osteoblasts and induces osteogenesis. It supports the regeneration of bone and soft tissue.

Support (Improvements in Density): BMD and serum levels of osteocalcin increased significantly from baseline to 12 months after NMRT treatment in osteoporosis patients.

The only medical technology with studies at a cellular level

Claim: MBST is different. By working at the cellular level where problems begin, it is designed to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and support mobility for people living with musculoskeletal injury, pain, or long-term conditions.

Support (Working at the Cellular Level): MBST uses a low-intensity magnetic field to stimulate molecular processes in organic tissue. This stimulation aims to address cellular bioenergetics and metabolism.

Support (Reduce Pain/Calm Inflammation): NMRT significantly reduces pain and reduces the IL-1β induced increase of NF-κB activity in chondrocytes, confirming its anti-inflammatory mechanism.

—

Claim: That can mean recovering faster after injury, moving more freely day to day, or having the confidence to keep doing the activities you love.

Support (Recovering Faster After Injury): MBST enhances neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation of DRG neurons in vitro. This beneficial impact is largely mediated by the stimulation of Schwann cells (SCs) to release neurotrophic and pro-regenerative factors, such as $\beta$NGF.

Support (Moving More Freely/Daily Activity): Functional assessments showed that MBST improved function and led to patient-reported improvements such as reduced stiffness, improved sleep, and greater ease in daily activities for low back pain patients.

—

Bone Health

MBST Bone Health content supported by full study titles

Bone Health: For a Stronger Foundation

Claim: Strong bones are the foundation of an active, healthy life. If you’re living with osteoporosis or osteopenia, MBST is a non-invasive technology designed to help rebuild bone density, reduce the risk of fractures and support bone strength at the cellular level.

Support (Bone Density/Fractures): Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by poor bone strength and increased risk of fractures due to structural deterioration of the bone [Non-pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMR-Therapy); Molecular biophysical stimulation therapy in chronic musculoskeletal disorders]. MBST has been used for the therapy of osteoporosis and regeneration of bone and soft tissue [Therapeutic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance affects the core clock mechanism and associated Hypoxia-inducible factor-1]. The technology utilizes NMR to activate cellular metabolism and regenerative processes in bone [Molecular biophysical stimulation therapy in chronic musculoskeletal disorders].

Why Bone Health Matters

Claim: Healthy bones are vital for strength, balance, and everyday movement. With age, bone strength can decline, leading to osteopenia (early loss) or osteoporosis (advanced weakness), which raise fracture risk and affect independence and confidence.

Support (Osteoporosis Risk): The disorder osteoporosis is characterised by poor bone strength and increased risk of fractures [Non-pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMR-Therapy)]. Due to demographic changes (increase in older population), the number of people with osteoporosis and its complications, like fractures, will multiply [Non-pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMR-Therapy)].

—

Claim: Because bone loss often develops silently, many don’t realise until a fracture occurs. The good news: strong bones help protect against fractures, and with early diagnosis and support, bone health can be improved at any stage of life.

Support (Improvement at Any Stage): MBST is significantly successful in treating conditions in older patients with advanced degeneration [Analysis of the Long-Term Effect of the MBST Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy on Gonarthrosis (Knee Osteoarthritis)].
