OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE JAW

Eating is fun again now

I have suffered from CMD, craniomandibular dysfunction, for 5 years, that is a disorder in the cooperation of muscles, ligaments and joints of the masticatory apparatus. Because the symptoms vary very much it can take a long time until it is diagnosed correctly and then can be treated. That was also the case for me.

One symptom is long-persisting teeth grinding. As the jaw is practically always tense, I developed an arthritis of the jaw which caused most severe pain in both joints of the jaw for several years. I usually needed IBU 800 to get through the day. I could not eat banana or soup because my jaw was almost blocked and I could not open my mouth wide enough. But in contrast to other body parts, the jaw can't be rested. You need to eat, speak...

One day, the general practice I was working at got a new therapy system for the treatment of osteoarthritis. My boss suggested that I could try it first: "See, if it is worth its salt." At first, my problems increased which almost made me fall into despair. But fortunately, that was only for a short time. It is a sign that the body reacts, that it is working.

And that proved to be true because it really got better quite soon. 8 months later, I was free of complaints. I can open my mouth again normally and without pain. I wake up without that constant pain in the area of head, mouth and ear. Only since it is gone, I have realized how many symptoms had been caused by the disease. Those were no normal headaches for example. And eating is fun again now. Everything is great.

PAIN AFTER A FRACTURED ELBOW AND DISC COMPLAINTS

I highly recommend that therapy to anyone

Some years ago, I suffered a fracture of my elbow in a sports accident. Surgery and rehabilitation were necessary. Unfortunately, the rehabilitation was hardly successful and I still was in great pain and my arm did not function properly afterwards. I could not fully stretch and hardly put stress on it.

After some years, I had lost all hope that the pain would recede with time. That is why I consulted my orthopaedist. She recommended MBST therapy and I agreed immediately.

The therapy started in January 2017. The effect set in immediately. Since then I am free of pain and I can move and use my arm completely.

I have also suffered from intervertebral disc complaints for years. Since the first therapy proved to be so successful, I decided to do the same treatment for my back. My doctor had some doubts because I am pretty overweight with 105 kg. But already the first therapy unit brought an improvement.

Therapy start was in April 2017. Until the first check-up in July I felt some pain from time to time but they were much slighter than before. At the time of the second check-up in November I was completely free of pain. I would repeat that kind of treatment if I need it and I highly recommend it to anyone.

GONARTHROSIS

No more pain in the last 6 years

7 years ago, I was virtually lying on the operating table. I could say, the saw was already prepared for an artificial knee joint. Osteoarthritis grade IV in my right knee made many movements and activities difficult or just impossible for me. I was limping badly.

I had already reluctantly decided to have the operation because of the severity of my complaints. The date had already been set. But then my wife saw an article in a paper about non-surgical treatment of arthrosis. She collected some more information and then suggested that I could try that at first.

So I consulted an orthopaedist close by who does MBST therapy and had it there. I am in public health insurance and had to bear the costs completely but who doesn't want to prevent an operation? The doctor said, grade IV arthrosis is only rated a therapy attempt because the degeneration had already progressed so far but I was ready to try anything.

I had to get up some stairs to get to the doctor’s practice. When I came in for the fourth treatment, I asked the doctor: Is it possible that I am already feeling an improvement? I felt like it was easier going up.

I had the therapy 6 years ago and since then, I have had no complaints at all. I go cycling again, I dance with my wife and I can go hiking. It was definitely worth trying for me.

COXARTHROSIS

I recommend trying it – you can gain so much

At first, I did not really notice how bad my hip had gotten because it was such a slow process. It had started many years ago and the distance I could walk was slowly but steadily decreasing. But it was fine when I did not put stress on the leg. That is why I always thought I had just done too much and a little rest would do the trick. After all, I am in my late 70s, so I thought, well, I am not getting younger.

I only realized how short my walking distance had become when my neighbours asked me about it. I could not do a single step without my hip making itself felt. The pain often spread down to my feet. I had a coxarthrosis grade III at that time.

We tried injections with cortisone then which did help but only for a few months. I don't like syringes so I did not want to do that long-term. But I also could not make the decision for surgery so my orthopaedist suggested MBST therapy which I then did.

It took about a month but then it really got better. I was not expecting that anymore actually but it improved steadily. Treatment was about 1 year ago. Today, I am to the greatest extent free of complaints, neither walking distance nor mobility are restricted. I am hopeful that it will stay like this, at least I don't feel any decline yet.

I recommend trying it. You can gain so much.

DOUBLE GONARTHROSIS

No more waking up at night because of knee pain

Pain every day, at getting up, at walking. Sometimes in the right knee, sometimes in the left or in both. Every evening fearing waking up again with that knee pain. That was my life for several years.

Pain killers, injections, acupuncture or physiotherapy always only helped partly and for a short time. One year ago, I heard about MBST magnetic resonance therapy from my orthopaedist. I decided to try that and I am very happy I did.

No more waking up at night because of knee pain. No problems at walking. I can go shopping or for a walk. Only getting up the stairs is hard, depending on the day. And there are days, when one of the knees does hurt. But I can say: I am very content with the success of the MBST magnetic resonance therapy and thankful for the way it helped me.
