Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS MAGNETIC THERAPY?

In brief, magnet therapy is the practice of using magnets of various strengths on different body parts in order to produce a healing effect in a variety of conditions.  Magnet therapy has been around for thousands of years in one form or another and is currently enjoying a big revival.

HOW DOES MAGNETIC THERAPY WORK?

Scientists have many theories.  Magnetic therapy may:

1. Increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels and attracting oxygen.

2. Change migration of calcium ions to heal broken bones faster or move calcium away from arthritic joints.

3. Block pain signals sent by nerves to the brain.

4. Attract iron in blood to stimulate circulation.

George Anderson, former trainer of the Oakland Raiders, New York Daily News, January 12, 1997 stated: "When magnets are introduced to an injured area, you increase the blood flow through that area, which helps bring blood and nutrients to the injured site.  Perhaps my most notable patient was Ronnie Lott."

DOES MAGNETIC THERAPY RELIEVE PAIN?

Yes, it's not the power of suggestions, and it's not magic.  It has been scientifically proven to relieve pain.  Researchers at several medical schools have studied the healing power of magnetic therapy:

1. At Baylor College of Medicine, putting a magnet over the pain trigger point resulted in a prompt relief of pain in port-polio patients.

2. At Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 90% of patients with pain from sports injuries or accidents found relief.

3. At Tufts University of Medicine, magnets helped relieve fibromyalgia pain.

4. At New York Medical College, magnets helped treat foot pain in diabetics.

Extensive research on magnets used as a pain reliever concluded MAGNETS WORK IN ABOUT 19 OUT OF 20 PEOPLE.  In a study on whiplash patients, there was an 88% success rate of pain relief.  A success rate of 95% or better has been noted for relieving pain from arthritis.

DO I HAVE TO WEAR IT WHERE IT HURTS?

We recommend using a bracelet for wrist, elbow, and and finger pain and a necklace for back, shoulder, headaches and his discomforts.  A combination of both for lower body relief.

WILL MAGNETIC JEWELRY HEAL ME?

We do not make any health claims for these products.  We do not claim magnet jewelry will heal anything.  Many people have felt pain relief of all kinds.  If you suffer from an injury or ailment you should contact your physician for proper medical advice.  These products are not a replacement for professional medical treatment.

SHOULD EVERYONE WEAR A MAGNETIC JEWELRY?

No, if you are pregnant or wearing an electronic device like a defibrillator or pacemaker, you should not wear magnets.
