Factors that Prevent Magnetic Therapy from Working

Millions have experienced pain relief from magnetic health therapy. However, there are people who have used magnetic therapy and believed they received no health benefits. This may be true if you are not using it correctly. In fact, making magnetic therapy work for you is easily correctable. Below, we have listed the most common mistakes users have with magnetic health therapy.

1: Choosing the wrong magnetic therapy products

Many people purchase magnetic jewelry (bracelets, necklaces and rings) to help with pain relief in their neck, back, shoulder, knee, foot, hands and wrist. Remember, magnets are strongest when they are placed directly over the site of injury. This method provides the best way to achieve pain relief in magnetic health therapy. Also, the laws of physics explains that as you move the magnet further away from the injured area, the magnetic field produced is diminished greatly. Magnetic jewelry are generally not strong enough to penetrate deeper into the area of pain. For instance, a typical magnetic bracelet would have a core rating of less than 3,000 gauss. This means that the surface rating of the bracelet may be less than 500 gauss. In short, magnetic jewelry are not able to generate the same strength of magnetic field as a neodymium spot magnet. To receive maximum effectiveness, you need a high grade, therapy magnet with the correct size and thickness.

2: Use the correct strength of magnet

There are people who have used weak magnets over their area of pain. It is almost guaranteed that these individuals will receive no health benefit from wearing the magnets. Keep in mind, not all therapy magnets are created equal. Choosing a magnet with the right strength can be the difference between pain relief and gaining absolutely no benefit when it comes to magnetic health therapy. If you decide to purchase a therapy magnet, you must understand the appropriate magnet strength needed to use in proper healing. A strong therapy magnet will generate a greater magnetic field and allow deeper penetration into the area of injury. For more serious ailments, chronic pain and long standing conditions such as arthritis, stronger therapy magnets are recommended. Generally, 1,500-2,000 surface gauss magnets are considered to be high strength.

3. Not wearing therapy magnets long enough

Since there are virtually no side effects, therapy magnets can be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The magnets begin to work the moment you first place them on. The magnets will continue to generate a magnetic field that penetrates into the site of injury so long as you keep them in place day and night. Since every individual responds differently to magnetic health therapy, it may take hours, days, or weeks before you experience a difference in pain relief. The key to maximum effectiveness is consistency. It’s natural to be impatient, where we want results instantly. With magnetic health therapy, you will need to have some patience and wait a short while for the results to become evident. If you remove the magnets after a day or two then no benefit or relief will be felt. If you have had chronic pain for many years, waiting a few weeks for that pain to be resolved is not asking for a lot.

4: Use the correct polarity

Therapy magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Both poles have completely different actions. Studies have shown that facing the north pole towards the area of injury creates the greatest effect on healing. So by properly positioning the polarity of the magnet, you can maximize your pain relief.

Magnetic Therapy in the news

Medical literature reports that over 70 million Americans each year are suffering from chronic pain. In fact, it has been reported that pain is the reason for 80% of the visits to doctor’s offices.

Pain relief magnets have been used for treatment of various conditions and pain over the course of human history. Due to its level of success in healing, there is good evidence suggesting magnetic health therapy will continue to remain a mainstay in the treatment of pain and other conditions. In contrast with traditional pharmaceutical approach, magnetic therapy provides a safe, non-invasive and easy to use method for pain relief. Based on the wide use of magnets and available evidence, the application of magnetic therapy for health purposes do not pose any danger for the person using magnets.

The field of magnetic health therapy has become more widely used. It is estimated that in the past 25 years, more than two million patients have been treated throughout the world with magnetic therapy for a variety of condition, injuries and diseases. The approximate success rate of magnet therapy is 80% with virtually no report of side effects or complications.

In the book Bioelectromagnetic Medicine, the author’s Dr. Marko Markov and Dr. Paul Rosch, elaborate on how world renowned experts described the potential of magnetic fields to treat various conditions and clinical problems. The book sheds light on documented magnetic therapy studies in fracture healing, wound healing and muscle stimulation. Other magnetic field studies have shown promise with Parkinson’s, cancer healing and epilepsy diseases. Dr. Markov and Dr. Rosch also reveal how magnetic field therapy has been successful in treatment of migraines, multiple sclerosis and macular degeneration.

Despite the fact that magnetic health therapy has become widely used in the United States and around the world for pain relief, there are still medical practitioners that refuse to give consideration to alternative therapies such as magnetic therapy. In most cases, these medical professionals may not yet be educated on alternative methods of healing aside from conventional allopathic medicine. As a result, patients who hear success stories from friends and relatives about the benefits of magnets may ask their physician whether magnetic health therapy can help them. Unfortunately, many times their doctor answers, “no” despite the growing evidence that support the use of pain relief magnets.

In examining the facts, there are several studies reporting the reduction of pain in post-polio patients, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia and post-surgical wounds. These studies demonstrate how magnets can produce a magnetic field of sufficient strength to provide significant pain relief in various disorders. Magnetic fields applied to the site of injury have anti-inflammatory effects, which may reduce inflammation and assist in pain relief.
