Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Someone suggested to me a type of belt/brace (for lack of a better explanation. I picture this as a type of thing people lifting heavy objects would wear to protect their backs) that is magnetic. Supposedly the magnets do something to lessen the back pain. Has anyone heard of anything like this? Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes is it is a based on junk science. It is just a few pieces of magnetized metal in a nylon belt with a velcro buckle. It is some sort of new age thing that does not do any thing other than lighten your wallet and out more weight on you back or leg ect Rick wrote: > Supposedly the magnets do something to lessen the back pain.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Yes, I have. I think it is a take on the older copper braclets that people wore on their wrists for arthritis pain. Many people swore by them and claimed they were wonderful. This type of thing from what I understand is basically the same thing. Once again they will sell anything that they can knowing that those of us in pain will do anything to get relief. This is only my opinion, but I would not buy one. I personally beleive you would be wasting your money, and helping someone else get rich at your expense.
