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 electomagnetic 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
- tendinitis
- bone fractures
- poor behavior
