Magnetic / Biomagnetic Therapy

Magnotherapy involves the use of a magnetic device placed on or near the body to relieve pain and facilitate healing. Magnotherapy can be used to treat:- * Arthritis * Insomnia * Carpal tunnel syndrome * Headaches * Post-surgery pain The theory behind magnet therapy is that the magnetic fields produced by magnets (or by devices that generate electromagnetic current) can penetrate the human body and affect the functioning of individual cells and improve the working of the nervous system and various organs. Precisely how the magnetic fields do this remains a mystery, but there are several hypotheses. Some say that the electrical current created by magnets interrupts the transmission of pain signals in the central nervous system. Others claim that magnets increase blood flow to an area, boosting the flow of oxygen and other nutrients, and ultimately reducing pain and swelling. You can purchase magnetic devices to assist with your therapy and your practitioner will be able to guide you to the most useful products for your treatment. Magnetic aids are widely available as jewellery, bands, pillows, mattress pads, and foot insoles to name a few items.
