Magnetic Dots for Arthritis

The increased use of alternative medicine and holistic health procedures such as magnetic therapy for the prevention and treatment of common ailments has drawn much attention by researchers and the general public alike.

This therapy has been very effective in providing relief from the discomfort of joint inflammation, commonly called arthritis. As we age, each of us will experience this problem to a certain degree.

While there are many different types of arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common and for in a small minority of individuals this problem can become severe, even crippling. Osteoarthritis is even more pronounced when the joints have been damaged by repeated small injuries - like footballers' knees for example.

Use the illustration as a placement guide for using magnetic therapy as an alternative health treatment for the general symptoms of osteoarthritis: For relief of arthritic pain, especially in the elbow and shoulder, place magnetic dots on Point A, on the upper edge of the elbow crease.

For rheumatism, tendonitis, wrist pain, and shoulder pain, place magnetic dots on Point B, two and one-half finger widths above the wrist crease on the outer forearm midway between the two bones of the arm.

For pain and inflammation in the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck, place magnetic dots on Point C, in the webbing between the thumb and index finger at the highest spot of the muscle when the thumb and index finger are brought close together.

As with any medical treatment, consult your physician before beginning magnetic therapy.
