A general term for the therapeutic use of special magnets or magnetic fields, to stimulate the body's intrinsic healing capacities.
Since recorded time magnets and other metals have been used to balance the body's energy. When magnets contact the body, a small electrical current is generated which may aid in healing when magnets are placed on acupuncture points. A continuous acupressure is applied to the point.
Using magnets in healing illnesses and correcting imbalances.
Practitioners of this therapy use negative magnetic fields which have a beneficial effect on health. By placing magnets near or on an injury site, a force field is created that encourages muscle relaxation and increased blood flow, while reducing inflammation. Devices range from small, simple magnets to large machines capable of generating high magnitudes of field strength.
Also known as magnetic Held therapy or bio-magnetic therapy, involves the use of magnets, magnetic devices or magnetic fields to treat a variety of physical and emotional conditions, including circulatory problems, certain forms of arthritis, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and stress.
Physical therapy technique using magnetic fields. The low-energy electrical field created by the magnetic field causes dilation of the blood vessels (vasodilation) and tissue stimulation. Magnetic therapy may be used on soft tissue to treat such injuries as tendinitis or bony (skeletal) injuries such as bucked shins.
