For complementary healing, hand bracelets promote health and a reduction in pain. Unlike aspirin and other over-the-counter and prescription pain medications, elastic band magnet bracelets do not carry any risk of side effects.

Magnetic bracelets have become a popular treatment for a variety of conditions including arthritis, back pain, tennis elbow, tendonitis, fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Elastic Band Magnetic Bracelets to Promote Health

Many people prefer using elastic band magnet bracelets over individual disc magnets or clasp bracelets because of the ease and convenience of the elastic band magnet bracelets. Just slip on the bracelet and enjoy the soothing benefits. There are no small clasps to struggle with and no need to tape individual magnets onto skin.

How Elastic Band Magnetic Bracelets Promote Health

Magnetic fields produced by magnets can penetrate the body and improve the functioning of individual cells, various organs and the working of the nervous system. Exactly how this occurs remains unknown but there are several hypotheses. Some reasons why magnets may relieve pain include:

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

• As magnets increase blood flow to an area, the flow of oxygen and nutrients increases and ultimately reduces pain and swelling.

• The electric current created by magnets can interrupt the transmission of pain signals in the central nervous system. This electrochemical reaction impedes the nerve cells’ ability to transmit pain messages to the brain.

• Magnets may create charged particles in the blood, producing heat and dilating blood vessels. Magnets may act on iron in the blood to increase the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.

• Applying magnets to the body can realign the body's electromagnetic field.

When using elastic band magnet bracelets, you want to make sure you have strong enough magnetic strength in the bracelets to promote health. Magnetism is measured in gauss and the higher the gauss of the magnet, the better the pain relief. A typical refrigerator magnet is about 10 gauss, which is far too weak to affect healing. Medical magnet bracelets to promote health should range in strength from 550 gauss at the low end and 1,000 gauss at the high end. The elastic band magnet bracelets offered at the Arthritis Pain Center are 800 gauss.

Depending on the severity of the pain, the magnet can be worn for as little as a few hours or up to 24 hours out of the day. Frequent wearing over an extended period of time increases the effectiveness. For ongoing pain control, wear the magnets on a regular basis. The good news is that the bracelets are stylish and the magnets don't wear out. The magnet itself will keep going and going.

Some suggest that magnets can reduce stress, relieve insomnia, treat migraine and improve central nervous system disorders. While research shows that magnet therapy can indeed relieve pain, there is little solid evidence validating it for other ailments. For this reason, magnetic therapy is used most often for joint and muscle pain.

The magnetic field could interfere with the operation of a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator. Do not use magnets if you or someone close to you has a pacemaker or defibrillator. Pregnant women also are advised not to wear medical magnets during pregnancy.
