subject: The Power Of Magnetic Therapy To Heal [print this page] Thanks to recent studies conducted in the Journal of Electro and Magnetobiology, magnets are now frequently used therapeutically to relieve various ailments and pain. Some very enterprising physicians with pioneering spirits chose to experiment with magnets and to see how they could be put to use. These efforts were critical in the process of standardizing the magnets which are now used throughout the world in various kinds of medical procedures.
But what exactly did these pioneering physicians look for as far as magnet use? Among the things which were assessed were the size and strength of certain magnets in managing a wide range of medical issues. They also measured how long a span of time an individual had to be exposed to a magnet in order for them to work for healing purposes. 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. On the other hand, if a person sleeps on a magnetic bed pad this can help to heal a larger percentage of the body because there are more magnets and they are evenly distributed.
When it comes to the utilization of magnets in therapy, a set of rules has been put in place to enable the most positive outcome. 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. Ear issues typically require less than 500 gauss to be effective, particularly in the case of children, who will usually require that same amount of power for any ailment they may be undergoing.
As a rule, static magnets are utilized by therapists during patient treatment. But some conditions require pulsed magnets for better results. For example, a fracture could respond equally well to either type of magnet, so this is up to the discretion of the therapist.
