Arthrosound- Ultrasonic Therapy for Painful Joints

We're pretty excited about the newest addition to our Magnetic Therapy catalogue: The Arthrosound. And here's why:

The Arthrosound utilises the FDA approved Ultrasound therapy treatment used widely by NHS physiotherapists and medical practitioners. It is a totally pain-free way to treat the pain and inflammation associated with chronic and acute conditions in your own home. 

Similar in shape and design to ultrasound machines used during pregnancy, the hand-held wand can be used anywhere on the body.  

How does it work?

The Arthrosound works through mechanical ultrasound therapy. In short, using pulses of sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissue to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation and create a minor warming effect on your tissues. Similar to massage or stretching, the warming losens tense muscles, eases inflammation and reduces pain.

The Arthrosound is designed to be used 3 times a day when combined with Glucosamine Gold Gel. This gel acts as a conductor for the treatment. It reduces friction and helps transmit electronic waves deeper into damaged tissue. 

Using the gel in conjunction with the Arthrosound means that skin is permeated through Sonophoresis. This means that by adding the gel, you are: improving the permeability of the skin, the penetration of the waves and the effectiveness of the machine. 

What are the benefits of Arthrosound?

The Arthrosound uses proven technology that has been used by the medical profession for over 60 years. 

The main benefit of the Arthrosound is speeding up the healing process by increasing blood flow to a particular area. The electronic waves emitted from the machine warm the tissue deep down in a safe and controlled manner, decreasing pain, stiffness and swelling. 

Thirdly, in contrast to other treatment methods, the Arthrosound is completely pain free and doesn't involve painful stretching or strain. This means that you can get on with your day after treatment and feel the benefits immediately. 

What does it feel like?

Most people will feel nothing when they are using the Arthrosound, except from the cooling gel. In a small number of cases, patients will feel a mild pulsing or warming as the machine gets to work. 

How do I use it?

After applying the Glucosamine Gold Gel to the affected area, the wand should be applied directly to the point of pain is small, rotating motions for 5 minutes. In larger areas, you should use a stroking motion in areas of about 10cm for 5-10 seconds. 

Why use Glucosamine Gold Gel with it?

Glucosamine Gold Gel has been specially designed to work with the Arthrosound. As well as stopping friction and conducting the waves deep into the skin, the gel has the added benefit of promoting joint health through the added ingredients of Glucosamine, Indian Frankincense and Horse Chestnut. These ingredients work together to promote even faster healing. Plus, they smell great as well.

The Arthrosound is only £119.50 from Magnetic Therapy Ltd, including 3 free bottles of Glucosamine Gel.  Plus, we're so confident you'll love it that if comes with a full-money back guarantee up to 12 weeks!

Copper and Health

Copper jewellery has been increasingly popular on our website for a number of years. 

Copper has a long pedigree in the field of alternative medicine and it is highly likely that you know someone who swears by their copper charms to keep mobile. We've seen a surge in orders, particularly when the recent spate of bad weather threatens to stiffen joints and sap your energy.

In fact, copper jewellery is more than just an old wive's tale. Copper is an important mineral in the human body, usually absorbed through foods such as: seafood, nuts and cocao products. As early as the ancient egyptians, humans were aware of the importance of copper to vitality, with Cleopatra having been rumoured to have her headresses enriched with copper and lodestone to keep her young and beautiful.

Deficiences in copper means that the human body cannot produce or store iron effectively, leading if untreated, to anemia.  Fatigue, slow-healing wounds and dizzyness all arise when we neglect this important mineral in our lives.

When combined with our magnets, you can be sure that you will get all the copper you need to keep away the unseasonal chill. All of our copper magnetic jewellery contains two 1700 gauss magnets that work in harmony with the steady absorption of this essential mineral. 

Right now, all of our Copper bracelets are 10% off when you quote "Copper" at the checkout or over the phone. What's more, you can also receive a copper ring for only 4.95 when you buy one of these beautiful bracelets:

Keep warm and healthy this spring with the warm tones of our copper jewellery.

Explaining Static Magnets

One of the most frequent questions we are asked on the phone is the difference between our static magnets. What exactly is a  Neodymium magnet and why is it more expensive than our Ferrite magnets?

Well, put simply, Neodymium magnets are much stronger.

Ferrite magnets are those traditionally used in magnetic therapy. ferrite refers to their make-up- partially iron oxide and partially ceramic. This way of engineering magnets was developed in the 1950s, replacing centuries old carbon-steel magnets. Ferrite magnets were stronger, typically with a Tesla value of 0.5 to 1.

The 1970s brought another advance in magnets with the advent of Rare-Earth Magnets. Rare-Earth is a somewhat misleading name for a broad camp of magnets, of which Neodymium is the strongest. Rare-Earth magnets, nicknamed "neo"magnets are comprised of iron and boron, along with smaller quantities of so-called "rare" metals. Used for everything from hard-drives to jewellery clasps, their popularity as a strong and long-lasting magnet has only increased in recent years . Neodymium magnets tend to be around 1 tesla but some can even exceed 1.4 tesla (that's a massive 14, 000 gauss).
Here at magnetic therapy, our best-selling Gold Neodymium 9000 spot magnets are plated with gold to protect the magnet. They remain best-selling as they have an active life of up to 15 years, and are some of the strongest therapy magnets on the market. Here is a link to them on our website:

Just to put 9000 gauss in perspective, this video shows the power of a Neodymium magnets with a magnetic power of 14, 800 gauss. Now that's a powerful magnet!

Migraines and Magnets

There is a bit of a stir in the study of magnetic therapy of late, with Migraine treatments receiving particular attention.
Transcranial Mental Stimulation is a non invasive method whereby the neurons of the brain can be stimulated, monitored or treated through electromagnetic induction- that is, the application of a strong, pulsatîng magnetic device.
The theory was developed in the 80s in Sheffield, where it was noted that applying electromagnets to patients could help alleviate the symptoms of aura migraines, depresion, strokes and even hallucinations.
Initially, rTMS machines were restricted to testing facilities and specialised clinics. Machines were bulky, expensive and clinical results questioned:

In recent years, ENeura amongst others have developed a handheld version which has been getting very positive results from patients.Targetting aura migraines in particular the rTMS machine offers the chance at drug-free migraine treatment.
Here is a look at the machine:

Applied as and when the patient feels a migraine threatening, the machine promises to be extremely popular. As this machine indicates, exciting avenues of treatment are constantly being discovered in relation to magnets. Whilst oly avalable in north america and the australasia,the positive feedback from the product would indicate that TMS won't take much longer to get here...
