Magnet therapy for integrative pain management

Magnet therapy which is natural, non-invasive and safe is proving to be an important tool in the integrative pain management toolbox.

In most cases of chronic pain is accompanied by depression, sleep disorders and stress which makes recovery even more challenging. Integrative pain management places focus on personalized treatment using complementary lifestyle medicine for those in pain. It is a solution which is patient-centered and preventive in nature can greatly help improve life and longevity.

Magnetic fields have also seen a great amount of research for medical applications such as MRI and now, magnetic field therapy has been a subject of research and development for pain relief. The most successful studies on magnetic therapy for pain management have multipolar magnets.

Multipolar magnets for pain relief

Multipolar magnets are much more effective than the common bipolar type, they generate magnetic field gradients which have very different effects on moving charged particles and as it turns out on nerves and pain as well.

Q Magnets

Q Magnets has been online since early 2000s and I find their research and protocols to be thoroughly explained for home-users and professionals alike. They have magnetic therapy protocols based on acupuncture, energy medicine and physiotherapy principles. All explained via images and guides that show magnet placements to target specific pain areas such as knee, neck, shoulders, lower back, etc.

Currently, most therapeutic magnets and magnetic therapy products such as knee braces or bracelets found on Amazon or Walmart mostly utilize 12 mT/mm magnetic intensity and are simple bipolar magnets. On the other hand, more significant effects are to be found with Q Magnets with some of them going up to 260 mT/mm with 4–8 poles on the same side.

Q Magnets are frequently used and recommended by physiotherapists and can be used successfully for remote management of pain. The practitioner would mainly need to guide the user on magnet placements and selection for optimum targeting of the field to the nerve or muscle needing treatment.

The Q28 magnetic mattress pads make it possible to the entire body with magnetic field therapy for integrative pain management.

The great thing about Q Magnets is that they are developed by physiotherapists and neurologists in collaboration, making them really one of the best pain treatment technologies. Having such a non-invasive and drug-free pain relief technology has a huge potential for use by integrative pain management practitioners , clinics and almost every looking for pain relief.
