Super Inductive System (SIS)

Magnetic Field Therapy for Pain and Muscle Ailments

Pain, muscle tension, or limited mobility can have a wide variety of causes. The Super Inductive System (SIS) offers a non-invasive therapy that uses a high-intensity electromagnetic field.

The electromagnetic pulses can specifically stimulate nerves and muscles and—depending on the selected settings—can be used for pain relief, muscle activation, or muscle relaxation, among other things.

At the ROC in Aschheim near Munich, we use the Super Inductive System as a complementary therapy for various acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

What is the Super Inductive System (SIS)?

The Super Inductive System, or SIS for short, is a form of high-intensity magnetic field or induction therapy. At the ROC, we use the BTL-6000 Super Inductive System for this purpose.

The device generates a focused electromagnetic field that can reach even deeper structures. In neuromuscular tissue, this can stimulate nerves and trigger muscle contractions.

Unlike during an active exercise, there is no need to consciously tense the muscles. Depending on the therapeutic goal, different frequencies and intensities can be selected.

How does SIS therapy work?

The effect of the Super Inductive System depends on the selected therapy parameters. By stimulating neuromuscular tissue, various therapeutic effects can be achieved.

These include, in particular:

  • Pain Relief
  • Muscle Activation and Strengthening
  • Relaxation of Tense Muscles
  • Support for Joint Mobilization
  • ongoing support during rehabilitation
  • Support for bone healing in selected indications

The appropriate setting depends on the cause of your symptoms and the specific treatment goal.

When is the Super Inductive System used?

SIS therapy can be used to treat a variety of orthopedic conditions. These include, for example:

  • Acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
  • Back Pain and Spinal Problems
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle tension
  • muscle imbalances and muscle weakness
  • Symptoms Following Injuries
  • Rehabilitation After Surgery
  • Restrictions on movement
  • Selected Disorders of Bone Healing

Whether the treatment is appropriate for your symptoms should be determined on a case-by-case basis based on the diagnosis and the treatment goal.

SIS for Back Pain

Back pain can be related to, among other things, muscle tension, abnormal muscle activation, or other changes in the musculoskeletal system.

The Super Inductive System can be used here as a complementary treatment to reduce pain, relax tense muscles, or activate specific muscle groups.

However, in cases of persistent or recurring back pain, the first step is to determine the cause of the symptoms. At the ROC, we can also utilize advanced orthopedic diagnostic tests and our in-house MRI scanner as needed.

SIS for Muscle Activation and Rehabilitation

After an injury or surgery, certain muscles may temporarily fail to contract sufficiently. The SIS’s electromagnetic field can trigger muscle contractions without the need for active movement.

The therapy can therefore be used as a complementary measure in rehabilitation. However, it is not a substitute for active exercise. As soon as medically feasible, targeted exercise, muscle strengthening, and, if necessary, physical therapy remain important components of treatment.

SIS to Support Bone Healing

Electromagnetic fields are also used in connection with bone healing. The Super Inductive System can therefore be used in selected patients to support the healing process.

Whether such treatment is appropriate depends, among other things, on the type of injury, the healing process to date, and other individual factors.

How does treatment with the Super Inductive System work?

SIS treatment is non-invasive and does not involve needles or surgery.

You will be sitting or lying comfortably during the treatment. The device’s applicator is positioned over the area of the body to be treated. The electromagnetic pulses work through clothing, so the treated area generally does not need to be exposed.

During treatment, depending on the intensity and settings, you may feel a tapping sensation, muscle twitching, or more pronounced muscle contractions.

The intensity is adjusted individually and can be changed during the treatment.

How many SIS treatments are needed?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to how many sessions are appropriate. The number and frequency of treatments depend on the nature and duration of the symptoms, the treatment goal, and the individual’s progress.

When planning your treatment, we therefore take into account not only the diagnosis but also how you respond to the initial sessions.

What are the benefits of SIS therapy?

The Super Inductive System offers several practical advantages:

  • non-invasive treatment
  • No needles or injections
  • Treatment Through Clothing Is Possible
  • individually adjustable intensity
  • Targeted muscle stimulation is possible
  • Both muscle activation and muscle relaxation are possible
  • Can be combined with other orthopedic and physical therapy treatments

It is crucial not to view SIS in isolation. Depending on the cause of the symptoms, treatment may be part of a more comprehensive therapeutic approach.

When should the Super Inductive System not be used?

Treatment with high-intensity electromagnetic fields is not suitable for every patient.

Before treatment, we therefore check for any possible contraindications and take into account, among other things, existing implants or electronic medical devices, as well as other individual factors.

Therefore, please let us know about any implants, medical devices, and relevant pre-existing conditions before treatment.

Super Inductive System at the ROC in Aschheim near Munich

At ROC, we view SIS therapy as one of several options within conservative orthopedics. What matters most is not the therapy device itself, but rather which treatment is best suited to your symptoms and medical findings.

To this end, we combine orthopedic diagnostics with various conservative, interventional, and regenerative treatment methods. If necessary, treatment can also be combined with targeted physical therapy at ROC Physio.
