Orthopedic Care: Advantages of Magnetic Knee Wrap
By Tat Naka of tatnaka design
Magnet therapy, magnetic therapy or magneto therapy is a complementary and alternative medicine practice involving the use of static magnetic fields. Practitioners claim that subjecting certain parts of the body to magneto static fields produced by permanent magnets has beneficial health effects. Magnet therapy is considered pseudoscientific due to both physical and biological implausibility, as well as a lack of any established effect on health or healing. Hemoglobin is weakly diamagnetic, and is repulsed by magnetic fields. The magnets used are many orders of magnitude too weak to have any measurable effect on blood flow. Magnet therapy is the application of the magnetic field of electromagnetic devices or permanent static magnets to the body for purported health benefits. The modern magnet therapy industry totals sales of $300 million dollars per year in the United States and sells, often with explicit health claims, products such as magnetic bracelets and jewelry; magnetic straps for wrists, ankles, and the back; shoe insoles, mattresses, and magnetic blankets (blankets with magnets woven into the material); and even water that has been “magnetized”. Magnetic wraps can be used by athletes or the general population to help heal joints caused by injuries or osteoarthritis to one’s arms, legs, hands, and wrists. By increasing blood circulation to a specific joint(s) the healing time and pain relief is shortened. Magnets can help prevent muscle spasms that occur with pain associated with joint pain. One of the examples of magnetic wraps is magnetic knee wrap.
The magnetic knee wrap was designed specifically for those who suffer from knee discomfort. The wrap relieves painful joints and muscles. It also improves blood flow for natural healing. Next, it is comfortable and lightweight. The soft breathable fabric allows for flexible and comfortable wear under or over most garments. The wrap provides deep penetration into tissue area. In addition, magnetic knee wraps have Velcro pads that can be conveniently repositioned for best fit and placement for exact area of pain. The wrap is not constricting like most neoprene wraps or pull up wraps therefore you have the maximum amount of blood flow. The wrap can be used on either knee and is washable after you remove the magnetic pads. Moreover, the magnetic knee wraps are primarily used to provide support for the ligaments around the knee, the knee cap, and the joints. You might want a magnetic knee wrap for protection if you are in contact sports or if you need to rehabilitate your knee due to a surgical procedure. In conclusion, the magnetic therapy has been around for centuries and is gaining popularity and effectiveness in today’s world. Meanwhile, the magnetic knee wrap is a safe, effective, alternative source of pain relief for knee discomfort. Magnets are non-invasive ways of helping the body heal itself with out adverse side effects. This is most probably an excellent choice for everyone.
