How to Use Magnetic Therapy Wraps
Magnetic therapy is thought to increase blood circulation and energy throughout the body. This natural treatment is said to ease pain, reduce stress and encourage relaxation. Often, magnets are applied directly to the body, but when large areas need to be treated, or specially affected areas need concentrated treatment, the use of magnetic wraps are a better choice. In general, wraps are usually enclosed in an elastic fabric that helps support the afflicted body part. The snugness of the wrap also provides warmth, which acts to loosen tightened muscles.
Things You'll Need:

Wrap Up the Pain With Magnetic Therapy
1
Reduce wrist pain and swelling with a good quality, magnetic wrist wrap, which should fit snugly, but not too tightly around the injured wrist.
2
Wear a back belt to try and ease pain in the lower back in particular. Back belts may also work to correct slouching posture which can further irritate back problems. Make sure it fits correctly and is comfortable on the skin.
3
Try to soothe upper back and shoulder pain with cape-like magnetic wraps that cover the upper regions of the body.
4
Resume walking or jogging with a magnetic knee wrap that encases the injured area and provides warmth and support to the joint.
5
Some believe that you can conquer carpal tunnel syndrome with a magnetic wrap for the hand that keeps it in the proper alignment.
6
Use magnetic therapy with other natural treatments, such as acupunture or massage, to purportedly speed your recovery. Find information about these techniques on the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Web site (see Resources below).
Tips & Warnings
Try to find wraps with high quality fabric. If the wrap falls apart, the magnet is of little use.
Make sure that you are using magnetic wraps with sufficient strength or you may not find relief from pain and swelling.
Remember that magnetic wraps do not penetrate the tissue as deeply as individually placed magnets, so use them primarily for superficial injuries.
Handle the wraps with care, since magnetic molecules may be damaged if dropped or knocked against hard objects.
Some magnetic wraps, such as back belts, are fairly expensive, so make sure you are buying from a reputable seller who offers a money-back guarantee.
See your doctor if pain or swelling increase in an injured area.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
