Magnet therapy has been used for thousands of years as an all-natural alternative method of pain relief. Things like arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, neck and shoulder pain, back pain, low back pain, and muscle and joint pain have all been treated with magnetotherapy and shown overwhelming results.

This has been done for centuries. But now, recent research has shown such an incredible degree of improvement in his patients that he has received additional attention. The majority of public opinion remains skeptical, but scientific research is slowly changing this point of view.

There are many factors that can reduce the potential of therapy. This may have contributed to some skepticism because if done incorrectly, you will hardly get results. In recent studies, research has shown that 80% of patients who received the therapy reported an improvement of 90% or more. This means that your pain was almost completely reduced and in some cases 100% relieved, with no pain at all.

Correct placement of magnets is critical for rewarding results. There are also different types of magnets that are much better for certain types of treatments. Static magnetic therapy and pulsed electromagnetic energy fields are used to treat arthritis.

How does it work:

It works at the molecular level. Each individual matter molecule looks a lot like a small magnet. Some are more magnetic than others, but all share the principle in shape. When a small part of the molecule is magnetized, it naturally pulls in that direction. If all the molecules come together in an organized way in the same direction, rather than looking in all different directions, more focus and power can be achieved. It unites and concentrates energy organizing and directing the focus.

Static magnetotherapy is believed to reduce pain by increasing and improving circulation and stimulating healing and regeneration processes. Many, many people swear by it for carpal tunnel, tendonitis, sciatica, arthritis, headaches, and many other ailments. Some people claim that it provides them with a general well-being, an improvement in their whole being.

People claim that this produces a process that realigns your body's natural electromagnetic energy field. I had no idea? I didn't even know it had an electromagnetic energy field and I certainly didn't realize it needed to realign. However, I realize that I am making fun of my own topic a bit, but a little fun can't hurt. The truth is that this practice works and there is a science behind it.

There is an intense and massive wave of research data and new findings on the power of magnetism, not just as analgesic therapy, but in many other areas of public interest and practical value. It is through electromagnetic energy and power that the medical technology of X-ray and MRI machines is made possible.

One thing is certain, the power that can be drawn from these magnets and electromagnetic energy fields is immensely powerful. The applications we can develop from it are still largely unknown, so imagination is really the only limit. When it comes to magnetic pain therapy, too many people have sworn that it is effective to discard it.

If you suffer from arthritis pain (or any kind of pain in the body for that matter), it wouldn't hurt to learn more about magnetotherapy and include it as another treatment option. It is important that you learn everything to get the best results. You will have more control over your pain and this in itself will improve your quality of life.

Hospitals offer great therapy

First let me tell you that the type of treatment you receive in the physical therapy room of a hospital or in a clinic is the model to follow. There are at least eight different types of plug-in machines, some of which combine magnetic therapy with other treatments. All of these machines use two principles that make them successful:

A HUGE magnetic field, well above the magnetic field strength (flux) found in almost any device you can buy.
A system for rapidly changing the near magnetic pole between north and south, commonly called a pole shift or flux pulses.
In hundreds of medical studies and comparisons, it is these two characteristics that have been consistently successful in providing pain relief, relieving sore spots after physical therapy, and promoting wound healing.

What does your usual bracelet do?

The things you can wear are very different. Almost all magnetic bracelets and other devices have two characteristics: they use between two and twenty small magnets (up to 1000 for mattresses); and place the north pole against your skin over the area to be treated. So does this make the hospital equipment wrong? This is unlikely, as this electronic magnetic therapy has been PROVEN to work. And hundreds of medical studies have shown that devices like bracelets and belts only work in a few cases - the exact opposite of machines in clinics.

The best devices, in fact almost every day, use neodymium magnets. But few come close to the power of hospital machines: the magnets are too small to generate enough flux. In fact, I've found that it takes 80-100 of the typical bracelets' neodymium magnets to get the same flux, and they all need to be grouped together in a small area.

You will also notice that the "flow switch" on medical machines is almost always absent. The conclusion, confirmed in medical studies, is that beneficial therapy takes a lot more power than most things, and changing the flow is really important.

Lastly, there's the deception (or ignorance?) That many retailers indulge in when they tell you how powerful their bracelet or device is. You see, there are different ways to describe magnetic flux, so ... (I don't need to go any further, right?) Maybe.

Magnetic pulse therapy machines can be described primarily by the "core strength" of the material; magnets come in different qualities. No matter how big and powerful or small and weak the magnet is, the strength of its gauss core remains the same. So if the magnets are small, this figure is used.
Second, there is the flux (intensity of the magnetic field) at the surface of the magnet, and this is often mentioned in the case of large magnets when the Gauss number is higher than for the force of the nucleus.
And third is the flow on your skin. Even the thickness of the coating or plastic sleeve must be taken into account, as the flux drops off dramatically as it moves away from the magnet. This is the key figure, but it is seldom cited, except perhaps when comparing a rival's skin current to its own core strength: naughty!
Therefore, it is almost impossible to tell from the quoted numbers how powerful a magnet is. The only useful test is to see what force the magnet pulls at that point, and this is how the test equipment works.

The Bioflow Advantage

Unique among therapy systems, Bioflow mimics the hospital equipment by using both large, high power neodymium magnets and flux changing. The maker, Ecoflow plc, discovered flux changing for fuel economisers and patented it, before finding that it also applied to therapy. This led to Bioflow being designed for use on the wrist.

The usual configuration is to have the main unit over a pulse, where it delivers the therapy to the whole body through your blood. The unit is about 30 times the power of a typical bangle magnet, so it has twice the pull of about 15 magnets in a good multi-link bracelet; but more important, it has the flux-changing principle (which is also patented for therapy) that has been shown in trials to be much more effective than north-pole-to-the-wrist.
