Treating Pain With Magnets
Depending on who you ask, magnet therapy is a complete hoax or the best thing to happen since sliced bread. People who use magnets to treat chronic pain will tell you that it works, and better yet, doesn't have any of the side effects that come with drugs. People who say magnets are useless for pain control will tell you that scientific proof shows magnets have no affect on pain. Who's right? Well, you'll have to decide. It's true that scientific studies do not prove magnets relieve pain; however, we both know that science can be slow to determine how holistic and alternative medicine works. Look at the field of chiropractic medicine. Everyday millions of people find relief from chronic pain with chiropractic, and mainstream medicine has only recently begun to accept it as a valid choice. For many years it was regarded as quackery. Magnets have been used to treat chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and diabetic neuropathy and well as injuries caused by trauma. It is believed magnets increase blood flow and interfere with the electrochemical reactions that cause muscle contractions involved in many kinds of pain. About 10 years ago I developed arthritis in my upper back and woke each morning stiff and sore. I tried medication but found it left me in a brain fog each morning. Sometimes I even overslept. I did some research on alternatives to medication and discovered magnets. I ordered a magnetic mattress pad and had great results. From my own experience, I can tell you that magnets left me with a feeling of relaxation and well being. I woke up each morning feeling well rested, and my joints felt loose. There were no side effects as with medication. Magnets are measured in gauss. Medical magnets range in strength from 450 gauss to 10,000 gauss. The higher the gauss, the better the pain relief. The price range can vary as well. It's best to buy from a big online retailer with a flexible return policy. That way if the product doesn't work for you, it can be returned. The majority of people who try magnets for pain relief have success with them. Usually the results are apparent quickly. Use them while sleeping, and see if you don't awake feeling better.
