Let magnetic bracelets and healing magnets work on your pain
Magnetic bracelets and other forms of jewelry have not demonstrated a significant therapeutic value. When placed under the rigors of the scientific investigation, magnetic fields per se do not heal. Both electric magnet and static magnetic fields produce an energy, which when properly focused, can change the electrochemical properties of the body itself. When describing the mechanism of action for QuadraBloc in the treatment of pain, as an example, the science underscores the physical chemistry change (the change in the charge of the ion) which takes place in the calcium, and sodium channels when the efferent neuron receives 1.5 mT of the steep field gradient at the point of affliction. This affliction is the result of chemical , heat, or pressure stimulants. In the parlance of pain management this stimulus produces an electrochemical change at the neuronal level, which is transmitted in a form which looks like a Sine wave (an action potential). This action potential signal is transmitted along the peripheral and central nervous system in a process known as transduction. By the proper placement of this QuadraBloc strategically on the site of pain the transduction process is substantially curtailed. With the elimination of this pain signal the sensation of pain is eliminated in the brain.
The benefits of the use of static magnetic fields has been confirmed in a variety of other educational institutions and research institutions, and so published. Dr. Tom Skalak it at the University of Virginia has identified that static magnetic fields abate edema of when promptly placed on the injury site. In two separate studies at the Hungarian Academy of Science, Dr. Laszlo and his associates learned that the quadrapolar array produces the optimum configuration of static magnetic fields, and that the employment of these fields alters opioid receptor sites. This result is in fact, proof positive that the utilization of these quadrapolar arrays dramatically short-circuits the transmission of pain signals.
Magnetic therapy, in fact is the deployment of these fields in the proper alignment and placement to produce the efficacious result. In Vital Points on the QuadraBloc website, found at www.QuadraBloc.com, Gradient Medical describes the tried and true deployment regimen.
Proprietary to Gradient Medical is the use of electromagnetic fields in isolation, the TENS technology for the application of direct current to the point of affliction. The Company has demonstrated by the combination of the use of direct current from a TENS machine and the use of 4 QuadraBlocs in a two channel 4 electrode configuration, that local anesthesia can be achieved. Further, the use of this TENS machine can produce an iontophoresis application whereby drugs can be transported transcutaneously. In addition, the Company has discovered that, absent the direct current of an iontophoresis machine, QuadraBloc alone can produce a magnetophoresis result. Without the wires of electric current of QuadraBloc can achieve a significant percentage of the transdermal transport of a drug.
The use of QuadraBlocs for the management of pain, in conjunction with drug transport capability produces an entirely new and exciting dimension to the use of static magnetic fields for magnetic therapy.
Wrist pain associated with repetitive motion may be decreased with the QuadraBloc placed over the median nerve at the wrist. Pilot studies performed at an occupational medicine clinic and sponsored by major food corporation demonstrated not only improvements in symptoms as compared to a control group treated with him and I-inflammatory/analgesic, but an increase in productivity in the group treated with QuadraBloc as well. The QuadraBloc, fashioned as a magnetic brace like a fitment, was able to be worn safely in the work environment. At the conclusion of the study, all participants opted to continue wearing the QuadraBloc device.
