How do Magnets Work?
Thereis still much research and debate about how magnets work.
Different theories have been put forward by manufacturers of magnetic products. I will summarise the largely accepted views held by doctors and researchers.
When a magnet is applied to the body, muscles and soft tissue lengthen and relax, waves pass through the tissue and secondary currents are induced. When those currents clash with magnetic waves they produce impacting heat on electrons in the body cells. These impacting heats are very effective in the reduction of muscle swelling and pain. Movement of haemoglobin in the blood vessels is accelerated - this has been observed in both thermographic and nuclear medicine studies - while calcium, cholesterol and lactic acid deposits in the blood are decreased. The fatigued blood is cleansed and circulation isincreased. There is also significant evidence of a pain- blocking mechanism in nerve fibresthemselves when subjected to magnetic fields. Researchers have been able to shift the resting potential (thereby raising the required stimulus to pain) of nerve cells in the laboratory by 25 per cent using the Norso Dynamag technology. High-strength magnets can cause anaesthesia, in the tissue, through a principal in physics called the Hall Effect, a thermal impact that occurs within the cell which can affect nerve signals.
What does this all mean in lay terms?
Two vital things occur when a magnet is placed on the skin.
The soft tissue will lengthen and help to relax a muscle or ligament that is damaged/traumatised. It will work in an area and depth directly proportionate to the type and strength of magnet used. Presuming you have one of the better magnets - I will give you the guidelines - you should be able to effect a change to a radius of between 3-5 inches around any one magnet and to a similar depth.
As the tissue relaxes Mood flow that has been Mocked from entering the damaged site is allowed in and increased. We can see this by thermal imaging.
Normally an injured site, whether arthritis, torn muscles or another condition, will be surrounded by inflammation. This can consist of lactic acids, calcium and other deposits - basically the site is ‘hot’ with acidity. The increase in Mood flow brings with it increased alkalinity. Acidity hates to be in an alkaline environment and this is where the body starts to generate its own healing. Magnets merely encourage it in a truly dramatic way.
So, we have relaxed the tissue and, with increased Mood flow, we have started to detoxify the area. Next, the thermal impact I mentioned occurs inside the cell. As the Mood in our body continuously circulates it periodically comes close to the magnet placed on the skin above. The ions in the Mood become agitated and are attracted to the magnet, atomic particles begin to spin inside the cell, they go into the Hall Effect and in doing so get ’switched on’.
This ’switching on’ means the body kicks in with its own beta-endorphin (pain-relieving) system.
So to recap, we have:
- lengthened and relaxed tissue;
- begun the process of flushing out debris and inflammation from the site;
- kicked in the body’s own pain- relieving system.
These are the key points a user of magnetic products must understand if you wish to treat yourself and your family successfully. If you understand that the product works where it is placed, you will not fall into the trap of buying a wristband to help with pain in your knee.
