What are your thoughts on magnetic bracelets to help reduce pain??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not proven helpful: The magnetic therapy products sold to consumers have not been proven to help arthritis pain. Little magnets are sometimes sewn into elastic braces. The elastic braces may help support one's limbs or joints but magnets do not provide any additional benefits. However, pain is very subjective, so if a person believes she is doing more to treat his pain by buying magnets, she may truly feel less pain.
