Alternative Pain Relief for Arthritis

Do You or Does Someone You Know Suffer with Arthritis?
Then you need to be armed with information before determining or continuing your course of pain relief treatment.

Here are some startling facts about Arthritis:

• As of 2005, the The National Arthritis Data Workgroup reported that approximately 46 million Americans are afflicted with Rheumatoid arthritis
• The average American is at a 13.5% risk of getting arthritis as reported by the CDC (Center for Disease Control)
• Joint pain due to arthritis can limit sexual activity. While drugs is an option to alleviate pain, in some cases drugs can reduce sexual desire
• More than 60% of arthritis patients are women
• The most common side effects for taking medication to alleviate arthritis pain are: bleeding ulcers, upper gastrointestinal problems, mild weakness in the arm and leg muscles, easy skin bruising, blurred vision, mood swings and even death as a complication

While these facts about arthritis are very alarming, there is better news. If you or someone you knows suffers from arthritis, please know there is safe help available. There are alternative pain relief products on the market that can help to ease and in many case completely eliminate your pain. One particular form of alternative pain relief for arthritis that I'd like to address in this post is Magnetic Therapy. Over 300 peer reviewed studies have been conducted by major universities and hospitals around the world. The results were that magnetic therapy is safe and effective.

How Does Magnetic Therapy Work?

A short explanation would be that applying magnetic therapy to an area where there is pain and swelling causes your capillary walls and surrounding tissues to safely relax, increase blood flow and provide more oxygen to the affected area so that inflammation is reduced and your body can heal itself faster. Your pain and swelling are the result of an electromagnetic field being out of balance.

Note that the correct size, strength and placement of the magnets used in magnetic therapy is critical. You can not use just any ole magnet product unless you want to expect any ole results.

Stop suffering with pain, consider the side effects of traditional medicine and give magnetic therapy a try today.

Ankle Stress Fractures

Did you know that your ankles and feet have a high risk of stress fractures if any of the following conditions applies?:

• You play high impact sports such as basketball, soccer, tennis
• You run track
• You have decreased bone mass due to hormonal imbalances
• You are a dancer
• You had a previous ankle injury

Stress fractures are a small fracture that occur in the bone as a result of your muscles lacking the ability to absorb the shock from a high impact.

Some symptoms that indicate that you may have an ankle stress fracture are:

• General, unexplained swelling throughout the foot and ankle


• Difficulty walking on the foot/ankle without feeling pain


• Pain, bruising or a popping sensation in the ankle directly after an injury


• Feeling like the ankle is dislocated

If you have a stress fracture or are at risk of getting one, then you would greatly benefit from wearing some form of ankle support that has the ability to minimize swelling and pain. The only effective ankle support products on the market that accomplish all of this is a Magnetic Ankle Support Brace or a Magnetic Therapy Ankle Brace. The Magnetic Ankle Support Brace eases pain from moderate levels of pain and inflammation in the ankles resulting from Arthritis, sprains and strains. It provides optimal comfort, support and excellent shock absorption. The Magnetic Therapy Ankle Brace provides the most effective relief for higher levels of ankle pain and swelling resulting from ankle sprains, fractures, tendinitis and arthritis. The former is protective and preventative. The latter mentioned brace is protective and therapeutic.

Using Magnets to Ease Pain

In my search of methods for natural pain relief and pain management, I discovered an interesting and very effective natural pain relief method. Of course, I didn't actually discover it as a new way to ease pain. I just discovered it in my life. It's magnet therapy.

As someone who manages an online stress relief website, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just selling products. I wanted to have a personal experience with most, if not all of my stress relief products. I feel that one very big arena for stress is pain. If you are in pain, how can you possibly be at peace?

In November 2008, I had double foot surgery that I thought would be a piece of cake. My doctor said I'd be up and walking in around 2 weeks. Well, while that wasn't entirely a lie, it also wasn't the whole truth. The numbness, tingling and burning sensation I experienced was not expected and it was more than a bit annoying. It kept me from sleeping. I was laid up in the bed most of the time and so I began to make use of that time by browsing the web for new products for natural pain relief that I could offer on my site. That's when I discovered Magnet Therapy.

Many people choose Magnet therapy also known as Magnetic therapy as an alternative form of natural pain relief for conditions such as arthritis and injuries. Magnet Therapy is an effective form of pain management that helps to promote faster healing and has has been well documented over many years by many cultures.

So, when I came across this company that manufactured Magnetic Therapy products, I decided to try the magnets to help ease my own pain. I purchased a small neodymium magnet kit for my personal use. When I received the magnets, I was a little unsure if they would provide pain relief. At the very least I knew that I could send it back and it was safe.

Well, I used those magnets and very much to my surprise within 5 minutes I was experiencing quick relief from the burning sensation and numbness in my right big toe and on the side of my right foot. I was able to sleep soundly with the large magnet affixed to my big toe. You see, you don't have to have but one magnet affixed with some surgical tape to the affected area. It is most effective and I highly recommend this magnetic therapy for anyone who has had surgery.

Of course, there are precautions you need to be aware of. While magnetic therapy is very safe, you can not use this form of natural pain relief if you have any implanted electronic medical devices in your body or you use transdermal drug patches.

You should also know that the effectiveness of the magnet is determined by the gauss rating, thickness, diameter and spacing of the magnet. Not all magnets are created equally so you should do your homework. Surely, I stand behind our magnets and there is of course a 30 day return policy so if you are not satisfied (which I highly doubt), you can return the magnets less any shipping costs.

As authorized resellers for magnetic therapy products, we offer discounted pricing on our therapeutic medical grade magnets and you get them shipped directly from the manufacturer. It's a win win situation. Lower prices, same quality.

Alternative Pain Relief

Pain in any form can be stressful and at times cause you to curl up in a ball so to speak so that you can't even function. Arthritis, post-surgery and injuries all cause pain at some point or another. Most of the time, we rely on pharmaceutical drugs to ease that pain. Many times pain can be relieved without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.

While Magnetic Therapy is not a new form of alternative pain relief, it's certainly become increasingly more popular. People are tired of experiencing the side of effects from pharmaceutical drugs and are turning to more natural forms of pain relief.

Magnetic Therapy, also termed Magnet Therapy is a safe and natural method of alternative pain relief that is facilitated by applying magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes.

I had foot surgery a few months ago and began using magnetic therapy. I was very pleased with the results. The inflammation and burning sensation I was having was eased within minutes of applying magnets. I definitely recommend this form of alternative pain relief.

Magnetic Therapy to Relieve Pain

So, I was somewhat of a skeptic when I thought about using Magnets to relieve pain. I was wondering how on earth is this supposed to work. However, since there were no side effects I figured I'd try it.

I had foot surgery in November, 2008. The pain was not so bad at first. After all I was on Vicaden. Well, Vicaden is a controlled substance so I couldn't keep taking that for long. Soon after I stopped, I began to have this tingling numbing sensation in my right toe. It would burn like heck. I was unable to sleep at night. That's when I came across a website that sold Magnetic Therapy Products.

I spoke with someone at the company who recommended I purchase a Large magnet kit. I do so and when the magnets arrived I decided to put one on at bed time. I gotta tell you, at first I thought the pain was getting worse. For the first 5 minutes I was like dag this is burning. But then, after that first few minutes I began to notice that the numbness and burning sensation began to significantly decrease. I had no idea what was going on but I actually slept through the night and woke up with no pain.

Now, I'm sold. Magnetic Therapy is where it's at. I am not the biggest fan of pharmaceutical drugs so you can imagine how happy I was to find that Magnetic Therapy Products actually work!

So, if you are experiencing any pain or inflammation as a result of surgery, arthritis, injuries or whatever, I highly recommend using Magnetic Therapy Products!
