This was one of the more intelligent questions we have had from doctors and it came from a paediatric neurologist. So we took some time to hopefully provide a considered answer. The premise being that MRI’s have both strong magnetic fields and strong field gradients.

While I have known people in considerable pain who have found an MRI scan to be therapeutic, I’m not sure if this is commonly reported. More importantly though, when chronic pain sufferers find Q magnet devices useful at reducing pain, they usually have to be worn 24/7 for many months before they can begin to wean off them. If removed too early their symptoms return almost immediately.

So potential relief from pain from the magnetic field of an MRI would be brief at best. I am reminded of the study that used fMRI on a group of subjects undergoing a clinical trial for depression. It was discovered by accident that the group going through the MRI actually improved significantly, as it turned out because of the MRI which was only being used diagnostically.

This two minute video shows a remarkable superconducting material levitating above a magnetic field. The way the magnets are positioned would indicate that they are multipolar and generating a strong field gradient.

When it comes to the treatment of pain, there are so many variables that no therapy works 100% of the time. Q magnets are no different, we have never said they are a silver bullet, but they are a powerful adjunct therapy.

Just ask John, who suffered with chronic pain for 27 years before he was introduced to Q magnets. Within minutes, he was pain free and this has been repeated many times in clinics around the world and seen in case studies published in medical journals.

But there are two main limitations when it comes to Q magnet therapy: Continue reading →
