Magnetic Back Therapy: Will It Work For You?

There is always a lot of talk about magnetic back therapy and what it may be able to do for chronic back pain. This is because back pain is very hard to treat and may require very expensive surgery and endless appointments to the chiropractor. People with chronic back pain are always looking for new ways to treat their pain so if magnetic back therapy solutions exist, they are hard to resist for the average back pain sufferer.

It is not surprising that about 80% of people suffer from back pain at least once in their lifetime. Chronic back pain is very common, and often times, someone may hurt themselves and not even realize it until months or years later. Equally not surprising, there are a large number of back therapy treatments. Magnetic therapy is on this long list of treatments. But why?

Magnetic back therapy is very easy to apply as a therapy, because you simply buy a chair, mattress or car seat with powerful magnets in the cushions and go about your regular day and night. It's like receiving treatment every time you sit, sleep or drive. On top of this, there are no known side effects to using magnetic back therapy on a daily basis.

But does magnetic back therapy work to help alleviate chronic back pain?

- Magnetic Back Therapy Solutions:

There are those who believe chronic back pain can be treated through the use of magnetic therapy. Magnetic therapy has been attributed to alleviating chronic pain in many different parts of the body, however this information is purely anecdotal and inconclusive. Thus we have magnetic back therapy and the controversy behind using it as a therapeutic method.

It deserves clarification: magnetic back therapy solutions have not been proven conclusively to alleviate back pain, chronic or otherwise. This is because all the magnetic back therapy evidence has been provided through testimonials and not scientific studies. This is not to say that magnetic back therapy does not work but rather that magnetic therapy studies do not provide sufficient evidence to make claims that magnets will cure your chronic back pain.

One of the prevailing theories about magnetic back therapy is that electrical activity in the back reacts with magnets and is used to assist in the healing process thus alleviating pain. Still another theory suggests that magnetic back therapy can lesson back muscle spasms and may interfere with electrochemical reactions alleviating a cells ability to tell the brain it is in pain. And still some even suggest it may completely erase chronic back pain if the magnets are used throughout the day and night and applied properly.

For instance, a supportive chair with magnets in the cushions, magnetic mattress pads or even magnetic car seats with the proper gauss rating and positioning would be seen by magnetic back therapy enthusiasts as more than sufficient in allowing the magnetic fields to work.

There are obviously a lot of products on the market for back pain, and a lot of magnetic therapy products available for chronic pain in general. Remember that magnetic therapy might be the answer to you chronic back pain if other methods have failed to give you the results you are looking for. But don't expect to find conclusive studies showing magnetic back therapy will heal or cure your back pain. They simply do not exist and our understanding as to whether or not magnets can cure chronic back pain is certainly up for debate.

true facts about magnetic bracelets

some claims that an expensive magnetic bracelet (made of titanium alloy combined with magnet) can cure and prevent most of the common blood problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatism etc.

I want to know the medical and scientific fact about this. Is this realy therapeutic or only a gimmick

Magnet Therapy: Quackery or Efficacious?

Proponents of Magnet Therapy claim magnets boost blood circulation to the affected area {where the magnet is placed, thus magnets attract blood. This is absurd since the iron in haemogloblin is not magnetic in that ligated form, thus magnets cannot attract red blood cells/blood}, move energy by affecting nerve flow - affecting the flow of ions, conteracts pain, magnets stimulate energy similar to acupuncture needles.

On the Documentary by Discovery channel, the expensive magnets used by magnet therapy practionioners failed to penetrate the skin, and where no better than fridge magnets! { which cost a fraction of the price} under scientific evaluation.

Placebo Effect & Lucky Charms

Magnetic Bracelets are more like a lucky charm, sports players wear them, like Tiger Woods {golf player}, football players, basketball ect. They claim it helps them with their respective sport.
Magnet therapy works by the placebo effect, if you think the magnets are taking away the pain, then your mind will focus on other things, the subconcious mind is amazing, and this can be reproduced with hypnotherapy without magnets! There is no physiological reaction, well atleast not directly, caused by magnet therapy, it is entirely psychological, which can then indirectly cause a physiological chemical changes in the brain pain centers {the limbic system}, thus the pain is relieved.

Magnet Therapy was supported by the father of Homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, which is another form of alternative medicine that fails to work, other than the placebo effect.

Bob Beck Magnetic Pulsar

This form of 'magnet therapy' does work, it was made by a physicist and involves sending high levels of pulsed magnetic energy into the body, which poduces a milli volt, this renders pathogenic microbes inactivate. Learn more here:

===============================================
Alternative Medicine

I like to think of Alternative Medicine as a mixture of many many treasures, and junk {quackery}, some therapies, methods & protocols do work, dare I say in some cases superior to conventional medicine, these where rejected by the medical-pharmaceutical establishments as they were not profitable, or interfered with the NWO plan. e.g. orthomolecular psychiatry, Rife Technology, Gerson Therapy ect.

Having said that, we have our blacksheep in AM, like any community, even medicine, Alt. Medicine is not regulated, and thus chalatans/fakes can/do decieve people, and take their money, making absurd claims, and get away with it.

In order to avoid this, you must become your own researcher, and not rely on QuackWatch since they have vested interests in the AMA and Pharmaceutical cartel. In the world we live in, rife with info wars, you can only trust one person for [true] medical knowledge: Yourself.

Hope this helps.
