What is Magnetic Health Therapy
Magnet health therapy is a safe and complementary method of attaining therapeutic relief from conditions such as joint pain, stiffness, muscle pain, chronic pain and inflammation. Research studies and clinical trials have shown that magnetic fields, created from therapeutic magnets can have a beneficial effect and speed the healing process. Since there are virtually no adverse side effects, magnetic health therapy is an excellent choice for many people. Millions of people have experienced pain relief from using therapeutic magnets.
How does magnetic therapy work?
Magnets generate a magnetic field, which research has shown can affect the biological systems within the human body. However, the precise mechanism of how magnetic fields induce changes in human physiology is not fully understood at this time. Current scientific knowledge is showing that the human body requires biochemical reactions as well as electromagnetic interactions. Studies have demonstrated that magnetic fields can produce a beneficial response and help improve blood circulation, alleviate pain, decrease swelling and inflammation, promote bone growth and regenerate nerve tissue.
How many people use magnetic health therapy?
Pain relief magnets are used by millions of people worldwide for health and healing.
Is magnetic therapy safe?
Yes. The FDA views therapeutic magnets as generally safe and harmless. For most people, you will not feel anything while wearing the magnet. Some people have noted experiencing sensations of warmth or tingling when they first begin using magnetic therapy. This phenomenon may be due to an increase in blood circulation, and is normal. This sensation generally goes away after a few days. Some of our customers have reported a "pulling" sensation when applying magnets over the swelling of an injured area. This experience is normal, as swelling decreases and the accumulation of fluids in the area moves away.
Magnetic health therapy should not be used if you have the following:
1. If you have a pacemaker, insulin pump, defibrillator, or any other implanted medical device.
2. If you are pregnant.
3. Do not use magnets over the region where cortisone was given within 14 days.
4. Near transdermal drug patches.
See your treating doctor if you are unsure about your condition.

Can magnetic health therapy help with injuries?
Research has shown magnetic fields can improve blood circulation, which enables oxygen and nutrients to be carried more efficiently. This allows the body to heal and repair itself more effectively.
How can magnetic health therapy help with pain relief?
Pain, stiffness and muscle spasms can be a result of poor circulation and lack of oxygen. Pain relief magnets produce a magnetic field that increases blood circulation and oxygen to the site of injury. This will help to relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms and can improve mobility and range of motion.
Does magnetic therapy rely on a placebo effect?
In short, a placebo effect is when a person's condition improves from treatment but the results cannot be attributed to the specific treatment used.
It is well documented that magnetic health therapy does not rely on a placebo effect. Static magnetic field research has recorded specific changes in blood circulation, blood vessel dilation, bone mineral density, muscle growth and heart rate. In addition, research performed on animals has shown that magnetic fields have a therapeutic effect. Since animals don't know they are being treated, they cannot anticipate a certain outcome. Numerous clinical trials have shown that magnetic therapy can provide pain relief for many individuals.

Is magnetic therapy a recognized form of treatment?
Many countries including Japan, England, Germany and France recognize magnetic health therapy as a beneficial and cost-effective form of treatment for pain relief and healing.
What is the difference between a static magnet (fixed magnet) and an electromagnetic device?
Static magnet emits a magnetic field, while an electromagnetic device gives off an electric and magnetic field. Neodymium magnets are considered static magnets and they are more economical and less complicated to use than electromagnetic devices.
How long do your magnets last?
If properly cared for, our therapy magnets should last for many years. We offer high-grade materials while other vendors may choose less costly grades of neodymium, and use smaller sizes. This is not as effective for pain relief and chronic conditions.
How long should I wear the magnets?
Some people stop wearing magnets after the pain has improved. However, in some of these cases the pain may return. The reason is because although the pain and swelling may be gone, the site of injury is still in the process of healing. That is why if you discontinue magnetic therapy too soon, sometimes this allows pain to return. For best results, you should continue to use magnets for several more days after the pain has gone away. If you stop using magnet therapy and your pain returns, simply reapply the magnets to the site of injury.
How soon can I see results?
People respond differently to therapy magnets. Some experience pain relief in a matter of hours while others may notice improvement after days or weeks. The key to successfully using magnetic health therapy is consistency. If you don't use the product every day, the pain and swelling may persist or return, thus slowing the healing process. For maximum results, consistent use of this product will provide faster, more significant results. If magnetic therapy does not seem to be working well in one area, try moving the magnet to a related area. This may have a more beneficial effect.
Can I wear magnets when playing sports?
Yes. Many people have been able to participate in athletic activities while wearing our magnets - so long as they are secured to the site of injury. This can be accomplished with hypoallergenic tape or adhesive tape.
