Magnet Therapy

The Concept: The theory is that magnets influence iron and other metals in the body, 

altering electromagnetic fields and energy flow within cells and tissues. And that’s believed 

(though not yet proven) to soothe overactive pain nerves, plus increase the blood flow to 

injured tissues. 

The Benefits: Many people report relief from knee, hip, wrist, foot, back and pelvic pain. But, 

while one small NIH-sponsored trial suggests that magnets may help ease back pain, the 

FDA says no rigorous studies have proven them effective yet.

The Procedure: There are few magnet therapy experts in the U.S., so most people treat 

themselves. Magnets come in shoe inserts, belts, jewelry, patches, seat cushions and even 

mattress pads. Look for them at stores such as Walmart or amazon.com -- they are fairly 

popular these days. The magnets are placed in contact with painful areas of the body for at 

least two hours daily. A word to the wise: Avoid this remedy if you use a pacemaker or insulin 

pump -- magnets could mess up their functioning.
