Magnetic Therapy Works

In studies, magnets have proven effective.

• Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston showed that magnets help relieve muscle pain.  In the study, patients who slept on magnetic mattresses experienced greater pain relief than patients who slept on ordinary mattresses.

• In research conducted at New York Medical College ​of Valhalla, magnetic foot pads were more effective than non-magnetic foot pads at relieving numbness, tingling, and pain associated with this diabetes-related problem. Evidence suggests that roughly 80% of chronic pain sufferers could benefit from magnetic therapy.​

How Magnets Relieve Pain

When held against the skin, magnets relax capillary walls, thereby boosting blood flow to the painful area.

They also help prevent the muscle spasms that underlie many forms of pain, by interfering with muscle contractions. They also interfere with the electrochemical reactions that take place within nerve cells, impeding their ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.  Unlike pain medications, magnets do not carry any risk of side effects.
