What is Magnetic Therapy?

Magnetic Therapy is the practice of using static magnetic fields to treat certain ailments. Some studies are believed to have shown that electromagnetic fields from magnets, when subjected to certain parts of the body, can have a beneficial effect on the well-being of the person. There are differences in opinion on whether magnetic pain therapy works, but magnets are seen to increase oxygenation and blood flow, which is needed for recovery and pain relief. Magnetic treatment has existed for centuries, and magnets have been used in the treatment of some diseases, such as arthritis, gout, poisoning, and baldness.

How Does Magnet Therapy Work?

Some say that magnets have a positive effect on the electromagnetic energy body of the body and that more magnetic fields are needed in the body for it to heal.
Magnets, they say, can increase the magnetic field and help you recover. More recent research has shown that magnets have an impact on ion channels, which control pain signals, contraction of muscles, and biological processes. Magnets work on these ion channels to block out nerve pain signals.
The strength of a magnet is measured in Gauss units, and different areas of the body require varying Gauss strength to be effective. For instance, a finger that does not have much tissue depth may not require strong magnetic fields, but the back or hip will need more gauss strength for full penetration.

Benefits of using Magnetic Therapy Products

Using magnets for therapy is a non-invasive treatment and is considered safe by practitioners. Magnetic healing therapy is said to penetrate deep muscle tissues quickly and bring down swelling, inflammation, and pain. Magnetic therapy products may offer the same healing effects as ice and heat but act faster. They are commonly recommended for use on sports injuries and chronic pain conditions, including tendonitis, wrist pain, chronic lower back pain, overuse syndrome, and elbow pain. They are believed to also have a healing effect on fractures.

When to use Magnet as Therapy?

Magnetic healing products are generally used in the treatment of:

Arthritis
Headaches, especially migraines
Mild-to-moderate pain after surgery
Long-term chronic pain
Depression
Cancer
Injuries to muscles, ligaments and tendons
Strains and sprains

When not to use?

Magnetic healing products should not be used on young children, pregnant women, and open wounds
Those with metal implants, a pacemaker
People who are using an insulin pump should not use magnetic therapy products because the magnetic fields can interfere with the functioning of these devices.

Magnet Therapy Products

Several magnetic therapy products that you may find effective are available. These include magnetic bracelets, headbands, eye masks, and pads for pain.
Magnet mattress pads are said to improve the quality of sleep, soothe aches and pains, eliminate stress, and promote deep sleep.
There are magnetic therapy seat cushions that use 600 Gauss magnetic strength to promote blood circulation and provide relief from aches and stiffness in the back and legs. These cushions are lightweight and easily portable.
Magnetic supports for the wrist, knee, elbow, ankle, head, neck, etc., provide effective magnetic therapy to relieve stress, pain, and discomfort.
There are magnet neck collars that improve circulation and speed up healing with seven BMMI concentric circle magnets. BMMI magnets are for human medical use. These are concentric circles with unique magnetic field configurations, ensuring that the optimum magnetic field is applied to the affected area. Concentric circle magnetic fields allow the blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow. They also bring down swelling. When placed over the eye, this magnet can relax the mind and reduce stress, sinus problems, and headaches.
For foot/ankle and thumb pain, there are supports made of neoprene; for the hand and wrist, there are mitts with nine BMMI concentric circle magnets.
Magnetic headbands are considered suitable for headaches and stress.
