Do magnets really help with pain?

To treat different types of pain, such as foot or back pain resulting from fibromyalgia and arthritis, magnets are often applied. For pain relief, biomagnetic therapy has been studied and these are very popular nowadays which are used in bracelets, headbands, belts, mattress pads. A magnet generates a force called a magnetic field. In static magnets, magnetic fields do not change. When electrical current flows through magnetic, electromagnets generate magnetic fields. Patients generally need more magnetic fields in their bodies. Biomagnetism therapy generally assists to increase your magnetic fields and boost your energy level to feel healthy. However, in mainstream medicine magnets are a very essential tool. They are also applied for diagnosis in magnetic resonance imaging((MRI) machines. Electromagnets are created when an electrical current charges the metal, making it magnetic. Devices with electromagnets in them are also used for health purposes. In the health sector, neodymium magnets are incorporated into medical devices. Due to their ability to generate a static magnetic field, magnetic resonance imaging devices treat and diagnose chronic pain syndrome, insomnia, wound healing, arthritis, headache, and several other diseases. Magnet circulates toxins by helping to eliminate waste from the bloodstream and quickly reduces inflammation by opening small blood vessels and helps to decrease pain in the joints. And by removing lactic acid from these areas faster and promotes relaxation by reducing pain and discomfort from any inflammation.

Do magnets work for knee pain?

Research suggests that magnets can be helpful for pain relief, including knee pain and low back. Various ways are there to use magnets, including wearing them in bracelets, using various magnetic devices, and taping them to your joints, including mattress pads. For people with knee pain, whether there is limited scientific evidence to support their safety, biomagnetism therapy has become an amazing alternative therapy. It appears to develop functional movement and reduce pain after the application of static magnets over painful knee joints. A magnetic knee brace is also made which contains magnets strategically placed to surround the knee joint area, especially around the kneecap, to support the knee by reducing pain and inflammation. As a non-invasive and drug-free, treatment for pain and swelling, biomagnetic therapy has been used for hundreds of years. About the effectiveness of magnets, various opinions are there however many people find beneficial by using them. It is also believed that magnetic fields attract and repel charged particles in the blood creating heat and movement. This would create blood vessels to extend which fasten healing by bringing in nutrients and fresh oxygen and removing toxins. This could all help to reduce stiffness and inflammation.

How do magnets help back pain?

For healing pain, applying magnets is increasingly popular with the public. Some theories explain that bio magnets not only heal but rather help the body to stimulate heal naturally. Some of these scientifically unproven claims include restoration of cellular magnetic balance, migration of calcium ions is quicker to help heal nerve tissues and bones, circulation is also increased when the iron attracts the bio magnets in the blood and this increase in blood flow helps to heal. Bipolar bio magnet therapy may be used to heal fractures or treat chronic pain like back and feet. The type and strength of the bio magnet that is used depend on the type of ailments, the period of time the patient has had the problem if the ailment is deep, its severity, and the region of the body to be treated. The human body naturally consists of magnetic and electric fields. All your molecules contain a small amount of magnetic energy. The idea behind biomagnetic therapy is that certain issues occur because your magnetic fields are imbalanced. By placing a magnetic field near your body, it's believed that things will improve and become normal. Ions like potassium and calcium and help your cells send signals. Scientists have specifically studied its use for wound healing, arthritis pain, insomnia, headaches, etc. Though some clinical trial has proved biomagnetism therapy is the effective treatment for back pain, there's no clear evidence that it can treat any kind of condition. For back pain, some recent researches conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) states the possibility of a small advantage from using magnets for pain.

Where should magnets be placed for pain?

Bio magnet therapy may be used to heal chronic pain. Some patients are very sensitive to biomagnetism therapy. Light-headedness, headache, sleepiness, itching are some of the side effects of this therapy. There are about as many types of bio magnets as there are body parts. Magnetic pads and mattresses are made to be slept on, magnetic insoles fit inside shoes, block magnets can be placed under mattresses, seat cushions, pillows, and back supports are even available with slots for magnet insertion. Others are made as body wraps with jewelry and magnetic foil. Bio magnets claim to be relatively safe, drug-free 100% natural. There are also many procedures to placing magnets on the body. Placing magnets on certain acupuncture points to circulate energy to indirectly target a specific area of the body. The location of the magnets can also depend on the reflexology points on the feet or palms of the hands: instead of fixing them directly on the area of the body concerned, the magnets will be fixed on the reflex zone of the hand or foot corresponding to the part of the body to be treated. In acupuncture, to stimulate these points needles are used, in shiatsu, they are approached by acupressure (finger pressure) and in biomagnetic therapy, magnets can be put in this area to find the relaxing effect or analgesic. Small magnets can be placed on the auricle of the ear, well located on the point corresponding to the place of the body to be treated.
