How magnet therapy works Magnet therapy works based on the effects of magnetic fields on the health of the human body. These fields are sent to a magnetic device that is placed near the body. When the body is in contact with these fields, the size and intensity of the electric currents inside the body tissues changes. These changes in electric currents can help the biological balance of the body and create positive effects on health.

   Mechanism of magnet therapy

   At first, the patient is asked to wear comfortable and loose clothes so as not to be bothered during magnet therapy. Magnet therapy is also performed on clothes. Then, depending on the part to be treated, the patient is asked to lie on the bed or sit on a chair. During his session, the patient may feel a little burning and pain, which is temporary and will decrease in subsequent sessions.

   The number of magnet therapy sessions varies according to the acute or mildness of the patient's condition in different people, but on average, the therapist prescribes 6 to 8 sessions for the patient, and the duration of each session is between 15 and 45 minutes.

   How does magnet therapy heal a broken bone?

   When a bone is broken, it takes It takes time to repair and rebuild a broken bone. This recovery period depends on various factors such as: the severity of the injury and the type of fracture, the health and physical conditions of the patient, and his age.

   Magnetic therapy is a method that accelerates the process of bone tissue regeneration, in such a way that by stimulating ion channels, it causes the closure of pain nerve signals and uses slow pulses to stimulate and regenerate cells in the body. In this way, a broken bone that is exposed to a magnetic field several times is restored in a shorter period of time and is so-called welded.

   This effect is due to the improvement of blood circulation and the stimulation of the cytoplasmic membrane.

   Frequently asked questions about magnet therapy

   Does magnet therapy have side effects?

   So far, no serious side effects from magnet therapy have been reported. However, people with internal medical devices such as pacemakers should consult their doctor first.
