Biomagnetic Therapy Product Types
Article by Thomas Wise
There are a wide assortment of biomagnetism devices available on the market, depending on an individual’s specific needs and requirements. Following, is a list of the most popular types of devices, and how they are generally used.
Magnetic Ankle Supports (Braces and Wraps)Therapy magnet ankle support devices, such as wraps and braces, both stabilize and support weak or injured ankles, in addition to applying magnetic healing to the ankle. These types of ankle supports are often employed for treating ankle strains, sprains, as well as generalized ankle pain caused by injuries or overuse.
Magnetic Knee BracesTherapy magnet knee braces are designed to stabilize and give compression support for painful and injured knees, and also surround the knee with a healing magnetic field. Biomagnetic knee braces and wraps have been widely used for treating a wide range of knee conditions and injuries such as sprains, strains, tendonitis of the knee, and osteoarthritic pain.
Magnetic Elbow BracesQuite similar to magnetic knee braces, therapy magnet elbow braces provide both support and stabilization for injured or painful elbows, and supply a consistent healing magnetic field directly to the joint. These types of elbow support products can be used to treat elbow related issues such as tendonitis, strains, and arthritic pain.
Magnetic Shoulder SupportsTherapy magnet shoulder supports provide support for the shoulders and upper back area, as well as surround these areas with a healing magnetic field. The various types of magnetic shoulder support products are generally used for pain and soreness in the shoulders and upper back caused by issues such as muscle pain, joint pain and swelling, and arthritic shoulder pain.
Magnetic Back Supports (Braces and Wraps)These types of biomagnetic devices are available for treating larger regions of the body, and generally contain a large number of individual medical magnets, which then apply a healing magnetic field across a broader area. Biomagnetism back support devices are often employed for various types of back issues, including strains, muscle aches, and pulled muscles.
Medical Magnets (Spot Magnets)These are small magnets which can be applied to any part of the body, in groups, by using products like surgical tape, adhesive bandages, and wraps. Spot magnets are generally applied directly over any areas of the body to be treated, but can also be affixed over acupuncture points.
Therapy Magnet BraceletsBiomagnetic therapy jewelry, including magnetic bracelets, are not only available in a wide range of attractive types, but also provide a convenient way for users to utilize therapy magnets on a daily basis. These types of magnetic bracelets apply a constant and consistent magnetic field which affects the bloodstream, possibly resulting in improved circulation, increased blood flow, and reduced pain.
Therapy Magnet NecklacesLike magnetic bracelets, biomagnetic necklaces are available in many fashionable styles and types, in addition to supplying an easy way to get the benefits of therapy magnets throughout the day. Like biomagnetic bracelets, and other therapy magnetic jewelry, magnetic necklaces supply a constant healing magnetic field to the body.Magnetic Mattress PadsTherapy magnet mattress pads and mattress covers generally have thousands of individual therapy magnets inside them, which bathe a user’s entire body in a healing magnetic field during sleep. These devices are often used by people who are suffering from chronic pain, particularly pain in the back and legs. Additionally, many people employ the use of magnetic pads and covers as a holistic tool for improved health.Magnetic MassagersBiomagnetic massagers are a newer type of therapy magnet device which is available, and they have the benefit of allowing people to target and treat specific, focused areas of the body with magnetic fields. They come in various types and strengths. Generally speaking, the stronger the magnetic field (higher gauss measure), the deeper the magnetic field will penetrate the tissue of the body. Magnetic massagers are often used in order to increase blood flow and circulation, and to treat pain in joints, muscles, and other parts of the body.
