Controlling Chronic Pain With Magnetic Therapy
Article by Ron Lawrence, MD

Latest research suggests that magnets really do work.

Do Magnets have healing power?

Alternative practitioners have long said yes, and recent studies suggest that they may be right.

In a recent study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston found magnets to be more effective than sham magnets at blocking pain caused by post-polio syndrome. (This syndrome, marked by leg pain, affects up to 20% of polio sufferers later in life.)

In the controlled study, 76% of patients treated with a magnet got pain relief. Only 18% treated with a sham magnet got relief.

Growing Body of Evidence

In other studies, magnets have proven effective against:

Fibromyalgia – Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston showed that magnets help relieve muscle pain caused by this mysterious condition.
In the study, patients who slept on magnetic mattresses experienced greater pain relief than patients who slept on ordinary mattresses.

Diabetic neuropathy – In research conducted at New Your Medical College of Valhalla, magnetic foot pads were more effective than nonmagnetic foot pads at relieving numbness, tingling and pain associated with this diabetes-related problem.
Evidence suggests that roughly 80% of chronic pain sufferers could benefit form magnetic therapy. That is true for virtually any form of pain.

How Magnets Relieve Pain -
When held against the skin, magnets relax capillary walls, thereby boosting blood flow to the painful area.

They also help prevent the muscle spasms that underlie many forms of pain-apparently by interfering with muscle contractions. And-they interfere with the electrochemical reactions that take place within nerve cells, impeding their ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.

Of course, chronic pain can be controlled with aspirin and other over-the-counter and prescription painkiller. But unlike pain medications, magnets do not carry any risk of side effects.

Selecting Medical Magnets

Medical magnets come in a wide variety of shapes, applications, strength and price.

Magnetism is measured in gauss. A typical refrigerator magnet is about 10 gauss. That is too weak to penetrate the skin-and unlikely to be helpful for anything more than a minor bruise.

Medical magnets range in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss. The higher the gauss, the better the pain relief.

Putting Magnets to Work

The magnets can be affixed to the skin directly over the painful area, They can be worn as jewelry and worn everyday, as well as slept on.

As with any Natural or Medical remedy or therapy, nothing works 100% of the time on everyone, we are all different, and different therapies work well with different people.

Aching Feet – Magnetic insoles can relieve foot pain and the achy feelings in the legs after you’ve been standing all day. A Magnetic anklet can also be very effective.
Arthritis – If pain is limited to your fingers, a neo magnet taped to the affected joint should do the trick. Or, you can wear a magnetic wrist band or Magnetic bracelet.
Back Pain – Place four magnets about 1.5″ on either side of the spine, two per side. If applying and removing several magnets proves troublesome, A Magnetic necklace may be more convenient, and attractive.
Headache – Tape magnets to your temples or to the back of your head, just above the neck. Or-use a magnetic headband, as well a magnetic necklace may be very effective.
Tennis Elbow – Use a magnetic band around the elbow. The same band also relieves hand and arm pain caused by repetitive strain injury. We hear many reports of reduced pain and increased mobility using a magnetic bracelet or necklace.
