Therapy for Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis and Sports injuries

NOTES FOR GERMAN CONSUMERS
The MBST^®-MagneticResonanceTherapy is an innovative, alternative treatment method which is judged by some representatives of the academic medical community in regard to its effectiveness as »scientifically not sufficiently proven«. The implementation and therapy recommendation of MBST^® is to be effected exclusively according to a diagnosis by a medical specialist. Questions in regard to the effectiveness and the indications have to be answered by such a specialized medical consultant. MBST^® is currently not part of the list of services covered by the statutory health insurance. Private insurance companies, enhanced benefit funds, and employer’s liability insurance associations carry the treatment costs completely or in part based on the expert opinion of a medical specialist and endorsement by their respective medical services agency.
