What Is Magnet Therapy?

 

Magnet therapy, also referred to as "magnetic" therapy or even "magneto" therapy is a complementary, alternative and holistic medicine that involves the practice of using static magnetic fields.  These static magnets and practitioners of the use of magnet therapy claim that subjecting certain parts of the body to magneto static fields by using permanent magnets has beneficial health benefits.

 

It should be noted that magnet therapy is considered pseudo-scientific due to a lack of studies that have proved magnets work to cause healing, at least, to prove it without a shadow of a doubt.

 

In saying this about magnet therapy, here are some important things to keep in mind regarding magnet therapy:

 

 

  • Magnets may or may not cause healing - the overall body of scientific evidence has not proved magnets work to heal or cure chronic pain (however more tests need to be conducted in order to understand the full potential of magnet therapy)

 

  • Some studies have shown magnet therapy may work to help sufferers of certain types of chronic pain but again, more studies need to be conducted

 

  • There are hundreds of testimonials by supporters of magnet therapy that claim magnets have helped alleviate their pain when no other treatments seemed to work (however these are clearly anecdotal in nature and further proof is needed).

 

One of the reasons magnet therapy is described as pseudo-science is partly due to the lack of studies that have been done on the subject.  Also, some of the specific studies have shown less than desirably results in proving magnet therapy works to reduce or alleviate different types of chronic pain.

 

This is unfortunate news for those that would like to have more powerful evidence proving that magnet therapy reduces chronic pain, as many of these people would like to let others know about the incredible benefits of magnet therapy.  However, it deserved repeating: there simply is not enough evidence to clarify one way or the other and so the question remains: Does magnetic therapy work to alleviate chronic pain?

 

Is Magnet Therapy Seen As An Alternative Medicine?

 

The simple answer is “yes.” The reason magnet therapy will continue to be seen as an alternative medicine is because it may or may not benefit individuals through holistic means.  Furthermore, no one can claim that magnets "cure" or "heal" the body because studies have not been performed to show this.  

 

However, it is important to note that magnet therapy has been around for over 4000 years (about the same amount of time as acupuncture) and there are a hundreds if not thousands of testimonials from individuals who claim magnetic therapy benefits them when nothing else helped with their chronic pain.

 

In saying that, one must always remember these testimonials are known as anecdotal evidence and can never be used to prove once and for all that magnet therapy works completely and effectively on everyone.  This is not to say that there has not been some isolated evidence that shows magnet therapy may work to relieve certain types of chronic pain.  More studies must be conducted to determine if magnets work to heal or cure pain, and unfortunately all the testimonials in the world will not prove that magnet therapy will work for you.  The proof must be in the studies.

 

This is the very reason magnet therapy will remain to be seen as a "alternative medicine" and will continue along this path until further evidence is provided.  The studies must provide the proof.  Until then, magnet therapy will remain a holistic and often criticized form of pain therapy.

 

Sincerely,
