Magnet therapy?

Interested in your opinions/experiences with "magnet therapy". Bracelets, pillows, insoles etc. (ie pain, sleep, thinking etc.)

Thanks.

Re: Magnet therapy?

I have many friends/family members who have had great success using Nikken products for their bad backs. HTH!

Re: Magnet therapy?

Never had much success with it, tried it on and off for several years, not for me so went back to the usual teas and conventional meds and it is keeping all of it at bay.

I have found them helpful. Nikken is very expensive. I have found other companies that are much less expensive and work just as well. Do some research on the web.

Re: Magnet therapy?

I have not used them but two friends have. One loves the mattress-said is is very helpful for her lower back pains. She even bought a portable one for travel.
My partner at work bought a mattress and had a bad reaction to it. She told me her chiropractor also told her he had a bad reaction to it as well. Not everyone benefits from it and it can cause some intense side effects. Look it up on the internet- not the company's opinions but some of the studies done.
I think is can be very different for everyone.
