Fwd: Follow up on Magnet Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi All,FYI at Minga's suggestion I wrote to Dave McT. at the board and his response is included re: using magnets. I'm still not convinced in the efficacy and I appreciate the feedback I received. I'm going to use the LL Laser I paid to much for a while ago and see if that helps.

MAGNETS

A review of magnets revealed a lack of quality clinical evidence either supporting or opposing the use of

magnets for pain relief. Magnets are not prohibited for use by chiropractors. However, it would be inaccurate

for anyone to represent that the Board has “approved” the use of magnets. (7/27/00)

Hi Dave,

 

I'm writing to you at Minga Guerrero DC's suggestion after I posted a question on the ODC list serve, regarding magnet therapy. Could you or the board clarify if using magnets is allowed under our scope. I understand that the board has

rightly prohibited multi-tiered marketing and that issue had been associated with prescribing magnets. Without the multi-tiered marketing can we use magnets?

 

Thanks for your time and good work.
