Magnetic therapy
Several types of magnets are applied to the body during magnetic field therapy to improve general health. Some conditions may also benefit from its treatment. There are various kinds, such as: Treatment with static magnetic fields: You apply a magnet to your skin in this. You might wear other jewelry that is magnetized, like a bracelet. A magnet may be embedded in a bandage or worn as an insole for shoes. Alternatively, you might use a magnetized mattress pad for your bed.
Electromagnetic therapy, also known as electrically charged magnetic therapy, uses magnets that are charged with electricity. Electromagnetic therapy is often administered via electric pulse. Combining magnetic therapy with acupuncture involves applying magnets to the same areas of your body that an acupuncturist would likely target during a treatment. These regions may be referred to as your energy channels or routes.
Most magnetic field therapy is a treatment option for different types of pain, like in your feet and back.
