Most magnetic products' description of their mechanism of action revolves around the interaction of the magnetic field with the iron of hemoglobin in the blood and a resulting increase in circulation.
Research has shown that it is not the magnetic field strength but the 'field gradient' ie the shape of the magnetic field produced by a magnetic device that is the determining factor in alleviating pain.
Laboratory experiments published in peer reviewed journals have shown that common bipolar magnets and other static magnetic field variations do not produce a similar effect on neuronal tissue as a relatively new device called a 'quadrapolar' magnet - ie a device with four alternating magnetic components.
This device produces a field gradient that blocks the sodium and calcium pumps on the membrane wall of nerve cells, which effectively increases circulation and reduces the ability of the nerve ending to transmit a signal (Action Potential) back to the brain that there is a pain stimulus.
Pain receptors at the end of C nerve fibres are affected by the chemical irritation from the inflammatory response.
Quadrapolar magnets block the ion gates and allow the chemical irritation to be flushed away by the surrounding lymphatic system, thus aiding the healing process.
Laser therapy is an excellent adjunct to treatment as it stimulates healing by up to 50% while the quadrapolar magnets help block the pain.
Less chemical irritation = less muscle spasm = less nerve irritation = less joint irritation = less pain and improved recovery times.
Damaged nerve endings and chemical pain signals cause increased pain and lead to weakening of the affected area.
Quadrapolar magnets, along with the professional advice of your treating therapist, help bring healing to the injured areas at the cellular level.
Studies in the laboratory and clinical data collected have demonstrated that quadrapolar magnets are effective in the treatment of: - acute pain - chronic pain, and - postoperative pain Quadrapolar magnets can be used for common aches and pains of daily living such as headaches, neck pain, jaw pain, tooth pain, shoulder pain, upper and lower back pain, elbow and wrist pain, hip, knee and ankle pain.
The device is most effective when it is placed over an area of strong pain where there are abnormally functioning pain fibres.
Bear in mind that quadrapolar magnets are intended to be used externally for the management of localised pain, are a complementary therapy and not a substitute for any clinical treatment that is recommended or prescribed by your treating doctor or therapist.
If you have symptoms other than pain, suspect you have an underlying medical problem, or if your pain is not relieved or returns, you should consult your treating clinician.
