magnet therapy

Alternative medicine magnets

Magnet therapy is the use of static magnets applied to the body for purported health benefits—relieving pain, improving circulation, or accelerating healing.

Practitioners place magnetic devices on or near affected areas.

Despite widespread marketing of magnetic bracelets, insoles, and wraps, scientific evidence for therapeutic effects beyond placebo remains lacking.
