About Magnetic Therapy for Pain in Hands

Magnetic therapy is the process of applying electromagnetic devices or static magnets to an area of the body to facilitate healing, health and well-being. It assists the body to find its own electromagnetic balance, thus supporting the body's own ability to heal itself. Magnetic therapy is reported to have a very high success rate in the healing and prevention of chronic illnesses, though the evidence is mostly anecdotal.

History

• The use of magnets in healing can be traced back over 2,000 years in China, and can be seen in the earliest writings from India, Egypt and Greece.

Process

• The magnets are reported to improve blood flood and increase oxygen in the affected area, thus reducing inflammation.

Types

• There are many varieties of magnetic therapy products for healing pain in the hands, including bracelets, wrist bands and wrist straps.

Time Frame

• Although it generally takes between one and two weeks for magnetic therapy to work, many people report a large reduction in pain in the hands within days.

Considerations

• Magnetic therapy can be used together with any other medical treatment; it has no side effects and does not interrupt daily activities.

Benefits

• Magnetic therapy is very useful in treating chronic conditions such as arthritis and other conditions associated with inflammation, but may also be used for healing any pain in the hands, including pain from cuts and sores.
