If back pain takes more than 7-10 days without getting better or if it interferes with your sleep, your work, or your mobility, it’s time to make an appointment. Waiting does not usually help: in back pain, prolonged rest can worsen the prognosis. The sooner you start the right treatment, the faster the recovery.
Signs requiring urgent attention: Pain that goes down the leg (possible sciatica), loss of strength in the leg or foot, difficulty in controlling sphincters, fever with back pain.
“First time in years that my back doesn’t hurt. I tried on several sites with no result and here they found the origin of the problem from the first visit.”
★★★★★ Chronic low back pain patient · Low back pain
Does your pain take more than a week? Book an appointment → clinicacapon.com/reserve-quotation
The most frequent cause is that the treatment has relieved the symptom but has not corrected the cause. Recurrent chronic back pain usually has one or several feedback factors: muscle weakness, biomechanical alteration of the tread, inadequate posture maintained or chronic stress that keeps the muscles in permanent tension.
At Clínica Capón, the objective is not that you stop hurting for a week: it is to identify and treat the real origin of the problem so that it does not return.
Acute low back pain: Abrupt onset pain, less than 6 weeks of evolution, usually associated with an effort, incorrect movement or contracture. It usually responds well to treatment and has a good prognosis.
Chronic low back pain: pain that persists more than 12 weeks. It can have a structural basis (hernia, osteoarthritis) or functional (central sensitization, fear of movement, psychosocial factors). It requires a more comprehensive approach that includes therapeutic exercise and, in many cases, advanced technology such as MBST or diamagnetic pump.
Sciatica recovery time depends on the cause. In acute episodes by contracture or overload, the improvement may be noticeable in 2-4 weeks with adequate treatment. When the cause is a herniated disc, the process can last between 6 and 12 weeks.
At Clínica Capón we offer an appointment in 24-48 hours for cases of acute sciatica. The diamagnetic pump reduces root inflammation from the first session, significantly shortening the recovery time.
“5 sessions with the bomb and the pain disappeared. I arrived without being able to walk normally and in two weeks I was back to work.”
★★★★★ Patient with sciatica · Herniated disc L4-L5 · Sciatica
Acute sciatica: we have an appointment in 24-48 hours → clinicacapon.com/reservar-quotation
No. The current scientific evidence is clear: prolonged rest worsens the prognosis of back pain. The muscles atrophy, the rigidity increases and the fear of movement is installed, generating a vicious circle.
The therapeutic movement—correct, well-guided and progressed exercise—is the most evidenced treatment for both acute and chronic back pain. At Clínica Capon we combine manual physiotherapy with therapeutic exercise from the first day.
Yes. Most cases of lumbar canal stenosis can be handled conservatively with very good results. In Capon Clinic, the protocol for stenosis combines:
Manual physiotherapy to improve mobility and reduce joint compression.
Diamagnetic pump to reduce root inflammation.
MBST if there is a disc degeneration or associated facet osteoarthritis.
Therapeutic exercise in flexion, which is usually the relief position.
Surgery has precise indications. If the doctor has proposed it, we help you assess whether advanced conservative treatment is viable before making that decision.
It depends on the degree and type of scoliosis. In functional scoliosis (no fixed bone structural component) physical therapy and therapeutic exercise can correct or reduce the curve and improve pain and posture significantly.
In established structural scoliosis, the goal is to slow down progression, reduce pain, and improve function. At Clínica Capon we assessed each case and designed a protocol adapted to the degree of the curve and the age of the patient.
Spondylolisthesis is the sliding of a vertebra over the lower one. It can be stable or unstable. In most cases (grades I and II) conservative treatment is first-line and can prevent surgery.
The protocol includes strengthening of the lumbar and abdominal stabilizing muscles, manual physiotherapy and, in many cases, a diamagnetic pump to reduce associated pain and inflammation.
It is not normal, although it is common. A cervical contracture that persists for more than 4-6 weeks usually indicates that there is a maintenance factor that has not been treated: inadequate posture in the workplace, biomechanical alteration of the cervical spine, component of chronic stress or an underlying cause (hernia, cervical osteoarthritis) that generates reflex muscle tension.
At Clínica Capon we identified that factor and treated it. Chronic cervical contracture is one of the problems that we solve with the greatest consistency.
It is the most common pattern in people with office work. Sitting for hours keeps the lumbar intervertebral disc under sustained compressive load and shortens the posterior muscle chain. The result is pain that appears within hours of being in the same posture.
The solution combines physiotherapy to treat affected tissue, specific therapeutic exercise for the lumbar muscles and, in many cases, ergonomic assessment of the job. At Clínica Capón we give you specific guidelines for your situation.
It depends on the cause, the severity and the time of evolution. as orientation:
Acute low back pain with no structural cause: 4-8 sessions.
Chronic low back pain with muscle component: 8-12 sessions.
Low back pain with hernia or associated osteoarthritis: combined protocol, 10-16 total sessions.
On the first visit we explain exactly how many sessions we estimate for your case and why.
Book an appointment to assess your case → clinicacapon.com/reservar-citation
Yes, and in most cases it is recommended. The key is to do the right exercise, at the right dose and with the right technique. In the acute phase, impact and forced bending exercises are avoided. In the chronic phase, progressive exercise is the most effective underlying treatment.
At Clínica Capón we integrate personal training with physiotherapy: the coach knows your clinical history and designs the program in coordination with the physiotherapist.
Diacutaneous fibrolysis is an instrumental technique that uses special hooks to release adhesions in the fascia and in the periarticular soft tissues. It is especially effective in:
Chronic muscle contractures with established adhesions.
Myofascial pain with trigger points resistant to other techniques.
Post-surgical scars that limit mobility.
Yes, and it is one of the strongest indications of osteopathy. When back pain does not have a clear structural cause in imaging tests—what we call nonspecific low back pain—osteopathy can identify joint dysfunctions, restrictions of vertebral mobility, and imbalances of the fascial system that explain the pain.
In Capón Clinic, osteopaths work in coordination with physiotherapists. They are not exclusive approaches: they complement each other.
The treatments with the most current evidence for knee osteoarthritis are:
Progressive therapeutic exercise: Strengthening of the quadriceps and hip muscles.
Manual physical therapy: improves range of motion and reduces joint pain.
Diamagnetic Pump: Reduces synovial inflammation and needle-free joint effusion.
MBST: Biostimulates articular cartilage to slow down degeneration.
At Clínica Capon we combine these elements according to the phase and severity of your osteoarthritis.
“I had osteoarthritis of the hip with lameness and I had been told that the next step was the prosthesis. After the treatment, the lameness has disappeared and I have recovered a mobility that I had not had for years.”
★★★★★ Patient Hip Arthrosis Grade III Osteoarthritis Daily Lameness
Ask for your osteoarthritis assessment → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
No. Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid infiltrations can temporarily relieve pain, but do not change the progression of osteoarthritis. When its effect is exhausted, the patient returns to the same point.
There is an intermediate path that many patients are unaware of: the diamagnetic pump and MBST therapy. Both act on the joint tissue and can significantly delay the need for a prosthesis.
MBST therapy stimulates chondrocyte activity—cartilage-producing cells—to regenerate damaged tissue. It cannot return a completely destroyed cartilage, but in grades I, II and III it can slow down degeneration quantifiably, reduce pain and improve function.
Studies published in the Journal of Orthopedic Surgery and Research show significant improvements in the WOMAC index (pain, stiffness and function) maintained at 6 and 12 months after the MBST protocol.
Yes. The osteoarthritis of the joints of the hands —especially in the interphalangeal ones and in the trapeziometacarpal (rizarthrosis)—responds well to a combined protocol of manual physiotherapy, thermotherapy and exercise of mobility and strength.
MBST therapy is specifically indicated in osteoarthritis of the hands and can reduce pain, morning stiffness, and improve sustained grip strength.
Yes, and in fact exercise is the best underlying treatment for osteoarthritis. Articular cartilage is nourished by diffusion during movement: inactivity deteriorates it faster. The key is to choose low-impact activities (swimming, bike, flat-surface walking) and performing them with the right technique.
At Clínica Capon, the personal trainer works in coordination with the physical therapist to design the most appropriate exercise program for your degree of osteoarthritis.
Arthrosis as a degenerative process has no cure in the sense of completely reversing the damage already established. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have effective treatment. The goal is to stop progression, reduce pain and maintain function so that osteoarthritis does not limit your quality of life.
With proper treatment—exercise, physiotherapy, MBST technology, and diamagnetic pump—many patients with moderate or advanced osteoarthritis achieve an active, painless life for years.
Yes. Cold reduces the temperature of the joint tissues, increases the viscosity of the synovial fluid and can increase the sensitivity of pain receptors. It is a very common phenomenon in patients with osteoarthritis and does not necessarily indicate a real worsening of the joint.
In winter or in cold seasons, joint heating prior to movement is especially important.
No. Knee prosthesis surgery has precise indications: Grade IV osteoarthritis with almost total loss of cartilage, pain that does not respond to any conservative treatment and severe functional limitation.
A large number of patients who are offered prosthetics can benefit from a diamagnetic pump protocol + MBST + physiotherapy + exercise that delays or avoids surgery. At Clínica Capon we help you assess if you still have a conservative margin.
“I came because they had proposed a prosthesis to me and I wanted to try something more before. After the combined protocol at Capon Clinic I am much better. I wish I had come before.”
★★★★★ Patient Knee Osteoarthritis Bilateral Osteoarthritis Exhausted
Have you been proposed prosthetics? Rate the alternatives first → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
Joint effusion is the accumulation of excess synovial fluid within the joint, produced by inflammation of the synovial membrane. It generates a feeling of tension, heat and limitation of movement.
The diamagnetic pump is especially effective for joint spillage: its diamagnetic effect drains the inflammatory fluid naturally, without puncture or aspiration. In many cases the improvement is remarkable from the first or second session.
they can be. Cervical osteophytes with osteophytes that compress the vertebral arteries can generate vascular vascular insufficiency, which manifests as dizziness, instability or positional vertigo.
It is important to make a complete clinical assessment to determine the origin of dizziness. At Clínica Capon we evaluated both the cervical joint component and the possible neurovascular involvement before starting treatment.
“I recovered from the dizziness and dizziness caused by a contracture in the occipital thanks to the Capon Clinic team. The diagnosis was what made the difference.”
★★★★★ Anna Vertigo and Dizziness Occipital Contracture
The first thing is not to panic. Up to 40% of people without pain have hernia or disc protrusion findings on MRI. Diagnosis of clinically relevant disc herniation requires that imaging findings correspond to the patient’s symptoms.
What you should do is ask for an assessment with a specialized physiotherapist to determine if the hernia is causing the pain and what is the best treatment protocol.
Bring your resonance and we value it → clinicacapon.com/reservar-cita
Disc herniation surgery has precise and urgent indications:
Horsetail syndrome (loss of sphincter control): Surgical emergency.
Fallen foot (progressive loss of force that prevents the foot from lifting).
Pain that does not respond to any conservative treatment after 3-6 months.
In the rest of the cases —which are the majority— the conservative treatment has a success rate of 70-90%. MBST therapy is the technology with the most evidence for the recovery of herniated disc without surgery.
“I had been with my right arm practically useless for months. I had been in public health and in another private clinic with no result. After the treatment I no longer take any analgesics and I have slept again in one go.”
★★★★★ Álvaro B. Protrusion C6-C7 · No result in other centers
The MBST does notDeletehernia in the surgical sense. What it does is stimulate disc tissue regeneration from within: it rehydrates the pulpous nucleus, stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans in the fibrous ring and can reduce the volume of the displaced disc material.
The clinical result is the disappearance or significant reduction of pain and recovery of function, which is what the patient needs. The hernia may remain visible at the resonance but stop compressing the nerve or generating symptoms.
Yes. MBST therapy acts systemically on the disc tissue throughout the spine. The protocol can be adapted to deal with multiple levels simultaneously. At Clínica Capon we assess the resonance and determine which levels are clinically relevant and which is the most urgent to treat.
The effect of the MBST is durable because it acts on the fabric: the disc that has been regenerated maintains the improvement. In discs with significant degeneration, a maintenance protocol may be required after 1-2 years.
At Clínica Capón we followed up after discharge to assess the evolution and decide if a maintenance session is required.
“The MBST bed is miraculous. I’ve been attending three days a week for three days and I feel 40% better. Physiotherapies are my finishing touch.”
★★★★★ Lumbar hernia patient Hernia L5-S1 irradiated pain
Do you want to avoid hernia surgery? Let’s talk → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
Yes. Cervical hernias—in the neck—compress the nerve roots that innervate the arm, elbow, and hand. Depending on the level affected, the pain, tingling or loss of force follows a specific path: C6 towards the thumb, C7 towards the middle finger, C8 towards the little finger.
If you have pain in your arm with tingling in your fingers, it is important to assess whether the origin is in the cervical spine.
Not exactly. In the protrusion the disc bulges out but the fibrous ring is intact. In the hernia the pulpy nucleus has passed through the fibrous ring and may be directly compressing the nerve.
The protrusion generally has a better prognosis than the hernia and responds very well to conservative treatment. MBST therapy is indicated in both cases.
Yes, but with judgment. In the acute phase, lumbar flexion exercises and impacts are avoided. As pain decreases, progressive therapeutic exercise—especially strengthening the lumbar stabilizer—is essential to consolidate recovery and prevent relapse.
In Capon Clinic, the protocol for hernia always includes therapeutic exercise from the first sessions, adapted to the clinical phase of the patient.
In Capon Clinic, the approach to fibromyalgia is different from the conventional one because we have technologies that act on the autonomic nervous system —the underlying mechanism of fibromyalgia— and not only on pain as a symptom.
NESA technology regulates the hyperexcitability of the central nervous system that characterizes fibromyalgia. MBST acts on muscle mitochondrial dysfunction. The combination of both with physiotherapy produces results that conventional treatments do not achieve.
“I’ve been a fibromyalgia patient for 8 years. I haven’t known what it was like to be okay. With the Capon Clinic protocol I’ve noticed an improvement I hadn’t felt with any previous treatment.”
★★★★★ María Jesús Castilla · Fibromyalgia · 8 years of evolution
Do you have unsolved fibromyalgia? Tell us your case → clinicacapon.com/reservar-citation
Central sensitization is the process by which the nervous system becomes hypersensitive to pain: small stimuli that are neutral in a healthy person, in someone with central sensitization generates intense pain. It is the main mechanism of fibromyalgia and many chronic pains that have no visible structural cause.
Treatment requires acting directly on the nervous system. NESA technology is the most specific tool available for this purpose: it reduces neuronal hyperexcitability progressively and sustainably.
Yes, completely. NESA technology has no documented pharmacological interactions. It is compatible with antidepressants, antiepileptics (pregabalin, gabapentin), analgesics and any other treatment you are following. It does not require modification or suspending any medication.
The starting point is a complete clinical assessment that allows us to identify if the pain has a fundamentally structural (articular, muscular, neurological) origin or if there is a component of deregulation of the dominant autonomic nervous system.
At Clínica Capon we did not apply the same protocol to all patients with chronic pain. First we understand your case. Then we design the plan.
Tell us your situation and book an appointment → clinicacapon.com/reservar-citation
Dysautonomia is the deregulation of the autonomic nervous system. It manifests with very varied symptoms: fatigue that does not improve with rest, insomnia, pain that changes location, dizziness when getting up, excessive sweating, resting palpitations or hypersensitivity to noise and light.
There is no standard test to diagnose it in conventional medicine. That is why many patients have been with normal tests and real symptoms for years. NESA Xsignal® technology is the most specific approach available for dysautonomia.
Yes. Chronic fatigue—including post-Covid syndrome with persistent fatigue—has an important component of dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. NESA acts directly on that mechanism:
It normalizes overactive sympathetic activity that depletes energy resources.
It improves the quality of sleep, where most of the energy recovery occurs.
Reduces low-grade neurological inflammation that contributes to fatigue.
“I had spent months with fatigue that did not improve and difficulty concentrating. The doctors did not find anything. With Nesa in Capon Clinic I progressively recovered energy and mental clarity.”
★★★★★ Post-Covid Patient · Persistent Fatigue · Mind Fog
Yes. Neuropathic pain —burning, electric shock, tingling, intense cold sensation — can be treated non-pharmacologically or complementary to medication with NESA technology and neuromodulatory physiotherapy.
Most patients with neuropathic pain of more than 3 months of evolution experience a gradual improvement with NESA microcurrents from the first sessions, according to published clinical evidence.
Yes. Tension headaches and chronic migraines have an activation component of the sympathetic nervous system and the trigeminal-cervical axis. NESA technology acts on that mechanism by reducing the frequency and intensity of headache episodes.
It is especially useful as a preventive treatment in frequent migraines that do not respond well to usual medication.
Shoulder pain that worsens with certain positions, especially when lying on it, can correspond to several causes:
Supraspinatus tendinitis: the most frequent. Pain in the side of the shoulder.
Subacromial bursitis: inflammation of the bag between the tendon and the bone. severe pain.
Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis: Progressive loss of range in all directions.
Tendon calcification: calcium deposit that generates episodes of severe acute pain.
Precise diagnosis is essential because each pathology has a different treatment.
“I arrived with my shoulder practically blocked. The recovery was total thanks to the Capón Clinic team. I recommend them without any doubt.”
★★★★★ Javier Shoulder Injury Full Recovery
Shoulder that does not let sleep? We have an appointment in 48h → clinicacapon.com/reservar-citation
Yes, and it is more frequent than it seems. Enrique arrived at Clínica Capón after 7 years in which no one had detected his calcification. In the first session we detected it and in 8 treatment sessions the lesion was practically cured. In his own words:Visiting the Capon Clinic is the best thing I could do.
This type of case illustrates why detailed clinical assessment and appropriate diagnostic technology make a difference.
“For 7 years, no one could detect the injury he suffered. Here they detected it in the first session and after 8 treatment sessions the injury is practically healed.”
★★★★★ Enrique Calcification Elbow 7 years No diagnosis
Probably not, or not permanently. Knee pain in corridors has very specific causes that can be treated: iliotibial belt syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome, patellar tendinitis or chondromalacia.
At Clínica Capon we evaluate your career pattern, the biomechanics of your tread and the state of the tissues to determine the exact cause. In most cases it is possible to run without pain again with the right treatment and some technical modifications.
It depends on the degree of the break:
Fibrillar rupture (grade I): 7-14 days with treatment from the first day.
Partial breakage (grade II): 3-6 weeks.
Total breakage (grade III): 6-12 weeks, in some cases it requires surgical evaluation.
At Clínica Capon we applied the diamagnetic pump from the first 48-72 hours to reduce hematoma and edema, which significantly shortens these deadlines.
Yes, and it is one of the most important goals of treatment at Capon Clinic. We don’t just treat the injury: we identified why it happened and we corrected the factors that caused it.
The return to sport protocol always includes a specific strengthening phase, proprioception work and retraining of the pattern of movement that generated the injury.
“Omar is a soccer player and uses the sessions on a regular basis, both for recovery after the effort and for maintaining his physical form during the season.”
★★★★★ Omar · Footballer · Recovery and prevention
Not necessarily. Partial rotator cuff tears have a success rate of 70-80% with conservative treatment that includes physiotherapy, eccentric cuff strengthening and, when indicated, MBST therapy to stimulate tendon regeneration.
Cuff surgery is reserved for complete breakages with significant functional weakness or for cases that have not responded to 3-6 months of properly performed conservative treatment.
Edurne, a futsal player, arrived at Clínica Capón after a knee operation whose rehabilitation was stagnant. With the diamagnetic pump protocol, MBST and sports physiotherapy managed to compete again. It is an example of the value of quality rehabilitation to optimize the surgical result.
If your postoperative recovery does not evolve as expected, it is time to ask for a second opinion and assess whether the rehabilitation protocol is adequate.
“After an operation and a recovery, my knee did not respond well. Thanks to the physiotherapy sessions and templates at Capón Clinic, I play futsal again.”
★★★★★ Edurne · Postoperative Knee · Futsal
Does your operation not evolve well? We can help you → clinicacapon.com/reserve-quote
Seek urgent attention if knee pain is accompanied by:
Joint lock: Knee stays locked and you can’t extend it.
Sudden and severe inflammation after trauma.
sound ofPopaudible followed by instability.
Total inability to support weight.
These signs may indicate cruciate ligament rupture, meniscal injury, or fracture requiring immediate medical evaluation.
Yes, in most cases. The objective of post-prosthetic rehabilitation is not only to eliminate pain, but also to recover the complete function that allows you to resume leisure and sports activities.
In Capon Clinic, the post-surgical protocol combines a diamagnetic pump for postoperative edema, MBST to accelerate tissue regeneration and progressive physiotherapy until return to sport.
The pain in the heel when taking the first steps of the day —which improves with movement but can return after a period of rest— is the classic symptom of plantar fasciitis. It is the most frequent pathology of the foot in consultation.
The most effective treatment combines manual physiotherapy of the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon, a diamagnetic pump to reduce inflammation in the calcaneous insertion, and in most cases custom templates to correct the tread pattern that is generating the overload.
“Since then zero injuries when running. They did a very complete study and detected a pronation that no one had detected. The templates changed everything.”
★★★★★ Corridor with fasciitis fasciitis Chronic plantar fasciitis
Does your heel hurt? We have solution → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
The difference is substantial. Pharmacy templates are designed for an average foot and offer generic cushioning at best. Capon’s bespoke templates are manufactured from the Solescan Rubra 3D scanner on your foot and from the pressure platform data:
Correct your specific tread pattern, not a generic one.
They are made of the right material for your pathology: carbon fiber, technical EVA or polypropylene.
They include follow-up at 4-6 weeks for adjustment.
A poorly indicated template doesn’t just help: it can make the problem worse.
Foot pain is the last symptom that appears. Before, the incorrect biomechanics of the footstep generates pain in the knee, hip or back. 70% of the population has some biomechanical alteration in the tread without knowing it because the pain is up, not in the foot.
The study of the tread is also a preventive tool: in runners, athletes or people who spend many hours standing, you can identify the risk of injury before the pain appears.
From 3-4 years old, when the plantar arch should already begin to form. Physiological flat foot of the first 2 years does not require treatment. Warning signs that justify a study in a child include:
Walk on tiptoe usually after 3 years.
Inward foot tips (internal rotation gear).
Tired of excessive walking for your age.
Pain in legs or feet at the end of the day.
Asymmetrical or unusual wear of the shoe.
Not necessarily. In children, the goal is for the developing musculoskeletal system to be corrected and the templates are no longer necessary. In adults with established structural pathology, continued use may be recommended. In other cases, once the cause has been corrected with exercise and the appropriate template, use can be reduced.
At Clínica Capón we evaluated it in the annual review.
Yes. The recurrent ingrown nail (onychocryptosis) has a definitive solution by means of a chemical matricectomy — an ambulatory procedure of podiatry that destroys the portion of the nail that is incarnated without major surgery — with a very high success rate and very low rate of recurrence.
At Clínica Capón we perform this procedure in consultation, without hospitalization, with local anesthesia and with a very rapid recovery.
Yes, and it is one of the most frequent causes of knee pain and low back pain that goes unnoticed. The functional flat foot (excessive pronation) generates knee valgus —knees come together— that overloads the internal compartment of the knee and the patellar cartilage. Upwards, the internal rotation of the tibia alters the alignment of the pelvis and can generate unilateral low back pain.
Correcting pronation with a custom template is part of the treatment of these pathologies, not just an accessory.
Manuel Manrique arrived at Clínica Capón with a major injury to his left foot that had not responded to previous treatments. The combined work of podiatry and physiotherapy allowed a recovery that he had not achieved in other centers. Manuel narrates it in his video testimony available at clinicacapon.com/testimonios.
This case illustrates the advantage of the Capon Clinic integrated approach: Podiatry, Physiotherapy and Technology working in a coordinated way.
“Our team improved their important left foot injury that no other center had managed to solve. The joint podiatry and physiotherapy work was the key.”
★★★★★ Manuel Manrique · Left foot injury · No previous result
Conventional physiotherapy acts from the outside: it moves joints, relaxes muscles, releases nerves. It is essential and is always part of our protocols.
MBST acts at the cellular level from within: Activates the metabolism of cells from damaged tissue to produce more new tissue. In cartilage, it stimulates chondrocytes. In the bone, the osteoblasts. in the tendon, fibroblasts. It is the difference between working the outside and regenerating the interior.
Do you want to know if MBST is for you? Book an appointment → clinicacapon.com/reserve-quotation
No. The session is completely painless. The patient is inserted into the MBST device—similar to a stretcher with a magnetic field generated around—for about 60 minutes. There is no noise like in the diagnostic NMR. There is no heat. There is no feeling of any kind. Many patients take the opportunity to read, listen to music or sleep.
The standard protocol is 9-12 sessions for chronic pathologies. In the initial assessment we inform you exactly the estimated number of sessions for your case and the total cost of the protocol. Check also our bonuses at clinicacapon.com/prices.
Yes. MBST therapy is specifically indicated in osteoporosis because it biostimulates osteoblasts—the cells that build bone—to increase bone mineralization. Post-MBST densitometry studies show increases in bone mineral density in the spine and hip.
At Clínica Capon we combine the MBST protocol with a specific strength exercise program for osteoporosis that enhances the effect of treatment.
It depends on the material of the prosthesis. Prostheses of non-ferromagnetic materials are usually compatible with MBST. In the initial assessment we reviewed the surgical report or the type of implant to confirm compatibility. In case of doubt, we contact the device manufacturer directly.
No side effects have been documented in the scientific literature available with more than 4,000 published clinical studies. It is a non-invasive treatment, without direct current on the body and without ionizing radiation. The only absolute contraindications are: pacemakers or implantable defibrillator, pregnancy and ferromagnetic metal bodies in the treatment area.
They share the physical principle—the response of hydrogen atoms to magnetic fields—but with opposite objectives. Diagnostic NMR captures images of the inside of the body. MBST therapy does not generate images: it transfers energy to damaged cells to stimulate its regeneration. The patient remains in the device for 60 minutes instead of the 30-45 of a diagnostic NMR.
Clinical improvement usually starts from the 3rd-5th session, although some patients notice it before. The cell regeneration process remains active for weeks after the protocol is finished, so the improvement can continue to progress even after the last session.
In very chronic pathologies or with a lot of established degeneration, the process is more gradual but equally real.
The Mega20 CTU Diamagnetic Pump operates at 2 Teslas (20,000 Gauss). Conventional magnetotherapy works with a maximum of 400-500 gauss. The difference is not quantitative: it is of category. Two pump sessions are equivalent in therapeutic power to 40 standard magnetotherapy sessions.
The diamagnetic principle —the repulsion of water by high-intensity magnetic fields— generates effects that conventional magnetotherapy cannot produce: edema drainage, molecular implantation and penetration up to 7 cm deep.
Has magnetotherapy never worked for you? The pump is different → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
Yes. One of the differential advantages of the diamagnetic pump is that it can be applied to plaster, bandages and osteosynthesis material without risk. The magnetic field penetrates through these materials and acts directly on the tissue, reducing edema and accelerating bone consolidation even during the immobilization phase.
In acute pathologies (spread, contusion, recent muscle breakage) the results are usually visible from the 1st-3rd session. In chronic pathologies (arthritis, tendinopathy) the usual protocol is 8-12 sessions.
At Clínica Capon we indicate the exact protocol in the initial assessment.
Yes, and that’s how we use it at Capon Clinic. The diamagnetic pump does not replace manual physiotherapy: power. In most cases we apply it in the same session or in adjoining sessions with physiotherapy, MBST or NESA technology according to the protocol designed for each patient.
Felipe had a severe contracture in his back that did not give in after conventional physical therapy. The Capon Clinic protocol combined manual physiotherapy sessions with the diamagnetic pump. The improvement was rapid and sustained. Felipe tells it in his video testimony available at clinicacapon.com/testimonios.
“I had a contracture in the back. With physiotherapy work and with sessions on the diamagnetic pump it has improved a lot. The change was fast and it has remained.”
★★★★★ Felipe Sobrado Severe contracture back · No previous result
Yes, and it is one of its most effective applications. The pump can be applied from the third or fifth postoperative day to reduce surgical edema, speed up reabsorption of the hematoma and decrease pain without increasing medication. It is compatible with the osteosynthesis material and with the sutures.
Yes, multiple. The most illustrative case is that of patients with advanced osteoarthritis who had proposed a prosthesis and who, after the diamagnetic pump protocol combined with MBST and physiotherapy, have been able to delay or avoid surgery. Google My Business testimonials include several of these cases.
Also on disc herniations: Many of our patients had scheduled surgery and canceled after treatment at Capon Clinic.

Conventional physiotherapy does not treat insomnia directly. But the NESA Xsignal® technology, available at Capon Clinic, does. Chronic insomnia has a base of hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system that NESA progressively regulates.
Most patients with chronic insomnia notice improve from the first or second session. It is one of the fastest and most consistent effects of NESA technology.
“I’ve been sleeping for three or four hours. With NESA technology at Capon Clinic, the quality of my dream has completely changed. The quality of life I have now is incomparable.”
★★★★★ Patient with insomnia Chronic insomnia
Have you been sleeping well for years? We have solution → clinicacapon.com/reserve-citation
Yes, and it is much more frequent than conventional medicine recognizes. Chronic stress keeps the sympathetic nervous system in a state of permanent alert. The physical result includes:
Sustained muscle contractures (especially cervical and trapezius).
Frequent tension headaches.
functional digestive alterations.
Bruxism (night jaw clamping).
Lowering the pain threshold: Small stimuli hurt more than normal.
NESA technology treats the neurological substrate of chronic stress, not just its physical manifestations.
HRV is the most accurate indicator of the state of the autonomic nervous system. A high HRV indicates that the nervous system is balanced and the body has good resilience. A low HRV indicates sympathetic dominance, chronic stress, and increased sensitivity to pain.
NESA technology increases HRV in a measurable and objective way, which explains its effect on both pain and sports recovery.
Yes. Post-Covid syndrome has an important component of autonomic nervous system dysfunction that NESA technology can directly address. The symptoms that best respond are:
Persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest.
Cognitive fog and difficulty of concentration.
Insomnia and alteration of the circadian rhythm.
effort intolerance.
Dysautonomia (palpitations, dizziness when rising, excessive sweating).
The protocol combines NESA technology with progressive exercise adapted to patient tolerance.
“The doctors did not find anything in the tests. With NESA in Capon Clinic I progressively recovered energy and mental clarity. It’s the best thing I’ve ever tried.”

For insomnia, the usual protocol is 6-8 sessions. Effects on sleep usually appear from the first or second session. The improvement is progressive and is maintained over time because the treatment acts on the regulation of the nervous system, not on the symptom on a specific basis.
Yes. The overactive bladder has a base of hyperactivation of the pudendal nerve and the pelvic parasympathetic nervous system. NESA technology acts on the regulation of that nerve signal, reducing urgency and voiding frequency without the side effects of anticholinergic medication.
Both ideally coordinated. Chronic anxiety generates real physical manifestations — contractures, headaches, myofascial pain — that benefit from treatment with physiotherapy and NESA technology. At the same time, chronic physical pain can generate or aggravate anxiety.
At Clínica Capon we treat the physical component very effectively. For the psychological component, we coordinate with mental health professionals when the case requires it.
from birth. We treat babies with positional plagiocephaly (skull asymmetry), infant colic and alterations in motor development. From 2-3 years old, pediatric physiotherapy for gait disturbances, torticollis and muscle tone. From 3-4 years, study of the tread and corrective templates.
It is normal up to 2-3 years. After that age, the lap on persistent foot tips can indicate:
Achilles tendon retraction (functional equine foot).
alterations of muscle tone.
In some cases, a warning sign of developmental disorder that requires pediatric assessment.
At Clínica Capon we made a complete assessment to determine the most appropriate origin and treatment.
The physiological flat foot of the first 2-3 years is corrected only as the plantar arch develops. If at 4-5 years the arch remains undeveloped, or if there are associated symptoms (pain, tiredness, abnormal shoe wear), it is time to do a study of the footprint.
Correction with templates in childhood is much more effective than in adulthood because the musculoskeletal system is still moldable.
Yes, from 6 years old. NESA technology is indicated in children with:
Recurrent functional headaches without structural cause.
Childhood or adolescent insomnia.
bruxism.
Somatic anxiety with physical manifestations.
It is an alternative without side effects to medication under these pediatric conditions.
Osgood-Schlatter disease is an apophysitis (inflammation of the insertion point of the patellar tendon in the tibia) very common in children and adolescents in rapid growth phase, especially those who play sports. It generates pain and swelling in the front of the knee.
The treatment at Capon Clinic includes reduction of the sports load, diamagnetic pump for inflammation and specific strengthening of the quadriceps. It is not usually necessary to leave the sport completely.
Yes. Visceral osteopathy and cranial work have shown efficacy in reducing infant colics. The mechanism is related to the regulation of the gastrointestinal parasympathetic nervous system and the release of restrictions in the craniosacral system generated during childbirth.
In Capon Clinic, the infant’s colic colic is mild, specific for babies and completely safe.
