Research
shows that magnetic fields extend in all directions from all living
organisms. The body recognizes this natural form of energy and uses
it for tissue repair and to inhibit pain message transmission. With
that in mind, the expanding field of Magnetic Therapy seeks to
explain the benefits of applying magnetic stimulation to specific
areas--using either permanent magnets or devices that produce an
electro-magnetic field.
Studies
on the therapeutic effects of magnets date back to 1938, when an
electromagnet suppressed or removed pain from the skin of human
patients. Recently, the use of magnetic fields has expanded to
include nerve regeneration, wound healing, skin graft integrity and
other conditions that are thought of as appropriate to photon
therapy. Data on these uses is preliminary but intriguing.
Field
experience suggests that magnetic therapy affects mood, behavior and
memory; increases blood flow to the applied area; provides pain
relief in local and generalized areas; and aids bone repair.
Conditions
that respond well to magnetic therapy include:
hoof
problems
tendonitis
bone
fractures
poor
behavior
