Magnetic Necklaces For Pain Relief

By Veronica Tripplethorn

Cleopatra is said to have worn magnetic necklaces made of hematite and slept on a magnetic lodestone bed. Additionally, magnetic therapy products have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, alongside acupuncture and massage therapy.

Even though scientific evidence sometimes conflicts with the claims of these products, the industry has swelled to $5 billion worldwide. A $20 silver magnetic bracelet is a much better alternative than many other expensive pharmaceuticals and treatments, so more people are willing to give it an open-minded try.

Pain Relief With Magnetic Products

The advertised benefits of a magnetic necklace includes pain relief from the lower and upper back regions, the neck and shoulders, as well as migraine headache relief. Moreover, alternative medical therapies are recommended for chronic disorders like TMJ, fibromyalgia, lupus and arthritis.

The theory of magnetic pain relief is that the magnets will stimulate the blood’s iron, improving circulation and oxygenating the blood. When used alongside heat/cold compresses and massage therapy, the magnetic therapy products are said to work especially well.

Magnetrace Records The Date And Time A Patient Swallows A Special Pill

Magnetic necklaces aren’t used solely for pain relief, as there are other practical uses as well. For instance, "Magnetrace" is a magnetic necklace developed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute that records the date and time patients swallow a special pill.

The sensor then follows the magnet-containing pill as it passes through the esophagus, all the while recording data sent to a cell phone to let patients and doctors know if a dose has been missed.

"Forgetfulness is a huge problem, especially among the elderly," explains Maysam Ghovanloo, associate professor at Georgia Tech, "but so is taking the medication at the wrong time, stopping too early or taking the wrong dose. Studies show that drug noncompliance costs the country billions of dollars each year as a result of re-hospitalization, complications, disease progression and even death."

No More Headaches And Migraines

Bonnie Castleman wrote an online testimonial about magnetic necklaces, saying: "I have suffered from migraines for 22 years and for most of those migraines I’d end up in the hospital being treated as the pain was so extreme. I purchased a magnetic necklace in June of 2006 and have had only a couple of very mild headaches and absolutely no migraines."

Sharon Enns added, "I have had severe back pain for the past 10 years resulting in two back surgeries. The second surgery resulted in the placement of a titanium rod against my lower spine. Within 24 hours of wearing the magnetic necklace the pain was gone." Jim Anderson wrote on another site, "I have a lot of arthritis pain in my shoulders. I purchased my first necklace in mid June.

About 5–7 days after wearing it continuously I noticed the pain subsiding. The relief I felt in 2 weeks was unbelievable as the pain was nearly gone. It has not cured me but the improvement is so great that I am purchasing another necklace." While almost all buyers are skeptical initially, magnetic therapy bracelets and necklaces seem to help when nothing else will.
