Benefits of Magnet Therapy

Magnets have been scientifically proven to enable the body to regain its self-healing electromagnetic balance naturally. Studies have shown that magnet therapy may help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase blood circulation, and support the healing process.

History of Magnet Therapy

Magnetic therapy has been a part of Chinese medicine for over 2000 years so the association between magnets and health is not new. Magnet therapy has been mentioned in some of the earliest writings in Egypt, Greece, and India. Studies have shown that magnets can be an effective therapy for the relief of pain by blocking pain sensations. When magnetic fields are applied to an injured area, it can improve blood flow and oxygen to enhance the body’s natural healing process.

Magnetic Therapy Today

In Japan and other Asian countries, therapeutic magnets are licensed as medical devices. Magnetic therapy is popular in Germany where medical insurance covers some of the costs. Magnets are becoming increasingly popular among progressive health care practitioners, veterinarians, professional athletes, and the general population. As a form of alternative therapy, magnet therapy will become more important as the cost of traditional health care increases.

Magnetic Therapy with ChiSoftII Neck Traction

The combination of magnet therapy with neck traction is provided with the Chisoft neck traction device with magnet. For a stiff and sore neck, the magnet inside the neck traction device can improve blood flow in the affected area. This can assist in bringing more oxygen, nutrients, and endorphins in the painful area which can reduce inflammation and pain.

The theory behind magnet therapy is that magnets can affect red blood cells. Red blood cells contain iron so these red blood cells will respond to a magnetic field causing the cells to become more active. More active red blood cells use more oxygen thereby causing a more rapid healing.

Although magnet therapy may help relieve pain and discomfort, a medical doctor should always be consulted before using any type of magnet therapy especially if you have a serious condition. If you have a pacemaker, you should not be using the Chisoft neck traction device with magnet.
