A member asked:
Do copper bangles really help for joint pain? i had a shoulder injury and had a debridement, and the shoulder cartilage drilled too. expose stem cells

Not really: The copper therapy products available to consumers have not been proven to help arthritis. However, pain is very subjective, so if a person believes he is doing more to treat his pain by buying copper bracelets, he may truly feel less pain. The same holds true for magnetic bracelets, as they don't work either. The manufacturers and sellers do enjoy selling them, as more sales means more income.
