Magnetic therapy has been used for thousands of years in different cultures from the ancient Egyptians to 15 th century Swiss scientists. Magnetic therapy also has important uses in current western medicine. For example, magnetic therapy is used in MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging). Magnetic therapy is also an important alternative therapy. Many alternative practitioners believe magnetic therapy may increase blood oxygen and alkalinize body fluids, improve circulation, remove build-up on blood vessel walls, relax blood vessels, reduce fluid retention, and more.
There are different types, strengths, and sizes of magnets used in magnetic therapy. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is used in traditional medicine to address a number of conditions. The use of static magnetic therapy has not been proven useful by western medicine. Magnetic therapy may be used by a patient on their own: magnets are available as strips, belts, jewelry, and more. Magnetic therapy may also be administered by a qualified practitioner.
According to western medical studies, magnetic therapy may be useful in treating bone fractures which have not healed on their own. Magnetic therapy may be helpful in treating stress and urge urinary incontinence. Preliminary medical research has found that magnetic therapy can reduce foot tingling, pain, numbness, and burning in patients with diabetic foot pain. There are a number of other conditions which might benefit from magnetic therapy.
Magnetic therapy can be an excellent complementary therapy for a variety of conditions. This treatment, however, should not replace treatment or delay diagnosis of any condition. People who have implanted devices-- including a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or liver infusion pump-should not use magnetic therapy. People with certain medical conditions and women who are pregnant are also advised not to use magnetic therapy. You may wish to speak with your health care practitioner if you are interested in learning more about magnetic therapy.
