Magnetic Health Therapy - Arthritis
The following Arthritis facts were provided by the Arthritis Foundation:
Arthritis affects nearly 1 in every 5 adults.
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over 15 years of age in the United States.
Arthritis ranks second to heart disease as the cause for work disability.
More than 7 million Americans with Arthritis have limitations on their normal everyday activities due to pain and stiffness. Activities such as walking, dressing and bathing may be greatly diminished.
39 million physician visits are due to symptoms of arthritis. More than half a million hospital visits are arthritis related.
Arthritis is estimated to cost the US economy a total of 128 billion dollars annually.
More than half of "Baby Boomers" under the age of 65 are affected by arthritis.
Half of the Americans with arthritis believe nothing can be done to help their condition.
Arthritis and Magnetic Health Therapy:
There are 3 well-published studies examining the effects of magnetic therapy on arthritis pain. All 3 studies showed that magnets can help with pain relief in arthritis. Moreover, these research studies demonstrate the health benefits of magnetic therapy.
Study #1: A study was conducted by the Division for Research and Education at Harvard Medical School on the effects of magnetic therapy on osteoarthritis of the knee. Participants were exposed to 4 hours of magnetic therapy in a monitored setting. In addition, they were required to wear a magnetic piece over the arthritic knee daily for 6 hours. The study was conducted over a 6 week period. At the conclusion of the study, the results showed there was pain relief after the 4 hours of magnetic therapy treatment. Furthermore, participants who wore the magnetic piece over the arthritic knee experienced pain relief at the end of the 6 week study.

Study #2: Study was performed by the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Texas Medical Branch. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of magnetic therapy on degenerative joint disease of the knee, specifically pain levels and functional capacity. Participants were recruited from outpatient clinics or volunteered. The study was conducted over a 2 week period in which participants wore magnets over the arthritic knee. At the conclusion of the study, participants noted a decrease in pain in the knee as well as increased functional movement.

Study #3: This study was conducted by Vanderbilt University Medical School. The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of magnetic therapy on rheumatoid arthritis of the knee. The study was conducted over a 1 week period in which participants taped magnets to the arthritic knee. At the conclusion of this study, participants reported decreased pain in the arthritic knee.

Arthritis facts:
Definition:
Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Symptoms:
Joint pain and stiffness are the main symptoms of arthritis. Depending on the type of arthritis you have, your joint symptoms may include:
1. Pain
2. Stiffness
3. Swelling
4. Redness
5. Decreased range of motion
Causes:
Arthritis pain is caused by damage to the joint, which are composed of the following parts:
Cartilage: Coating on the ends of bones that allows bones of the joint to slide smoothly over each other.
Joint capsule: A tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts
Synovium: A thin membrane that lines the joint capsule, which secretes a synovial fluid lubricating the joint.
How arthritis can damage joints:
Osteoarthritis: This is wear and tear damage to the cartilage, which can result in bone grinding on bone. This will cause pain and restrictions in movement. Osteoarthritis can occur over many years, or it can be precipitated by a joint injury or infection.
Rheumatoid arthritis: This form of arthritis occurs when the body's immune system attacks joints and causes inflammation to the synovium. The result is joint swelling, redness and pain. The disease can destroy bone and cartilage within the joint structure.
Risk factors:
Family history: You may be more likely to develop arthritis if your parents or siblings have the disorder. Although your genetics don't actually cause arthritis, they can make you more susceptible to environmental factors that may trigger arthritis.
Age: The risk of many types of arthritis increase with age.
Gender: Women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis. On the other hand, most of the people who have gout are men.
Previous injuries: People who have injured a joint are more likely to eventually develop arthritis in that joint.
Obesity: Excess weight puts stress on joints, particularly your hips, knees and spine. Obese people have a higher risk of developing arthritis.
Complications:
Having arthritis can make it difficult for you to perform normal daily activities. Arthritis of weight-bearing joints can keep you from walking comfortably or sitting up straight.
