Thanks to recent studies conducted in the Journal of Electro and Magnetobiology, magnets are now frequently used therapeutically to relieve various ailments and pain. Magnets as therapeutic aids were first discovered by adventurous and eager new physicians who put a great deal of time and effort, and perhaps a bit of faith, into experimenting with the possible uses of magnets. It is thanks to these pioneers that magnets are now a standard tool in medical practices across the country today.
But what exactly did these pioneering physicians look for as far as magnet use? For starters, these physicians examined a vast sample of magnets of various strengths and sizes in relation to their potential assistance with health problems. They also considered how long a magnet would take to work to heal an individual, and how much exposure was required.
Through their studies, for instance, they determined that a magnet only had healing power over parts of the body it was directly in contact with, such as a shoulder. If, however, a person were to sleep on a magnetic pad, more of the body would thus be in direct, even contact with the magnetic influence, and thus a larger percentage of the body could be healed.
Since the conception of magnets as therapeutic instruments, therapists have devised guidelines based on their practical experience to optimize the effectiveness of magnetic treatment for an individual. For instance, chronic diseases such as paralysis, arthritis, muscle injuries, backaches or rheumatism are all best served through the use of magnets with gauss power between 1000 and 3000.
Most ailments and parts of the body, however, experience relief with the help of magnets that fall in the range of 100 to 500 gauss. Something as concentrated as an ear problem, for example, or a young, small patient such as a child, generally need less than 500 gauss for therapeutic treatment.
In many cases, static magnets are used in the treatments of patients. But some conditions require pulsed magnets for better results. A fracture, for instance, seems to respond well to both static and pulsed magnets. Such cases are then left to the therapist's discretion for the well being of their patient.
