Australian cricketer Shane Watson using Q magnets to get back bowling and batting sooner.

Today we caught up with champion Australian all-rounder Shane Watson. Shane had previously found Q magnets extremely helpful for low back pain during long haul flights. This is a common application for Q magnets for the travelling sports professional as in the case of Queensland Reds’ Adam Wallace-Harrison and former All Black David Hill.

Shane’s sports physiotherapist, Victor Popov prescribed Q magnet therapy to help overcome some chronic injuries and we made the effort to personally deliver them and go through some other applications such as bruising. He was sporting a nice deep purple bruise on the calf from a cricket ball, one of the hazards of batting. See some of the results of Q magnet application on bruising in this video with professional motocross rider Steve Sommerfeld.

If a combination of strong magnetic field and field gradients is so effective at “blocking” pain, then why doesn’t an MRI provide strong pain relief?

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.

More good news for athletes suffering from shin splint pain – Q magnets help for faster recovery.

I had been suffering recurring shin splint pain, one that was bilaterally located on the anterior medial distal portion, where the gastroc/soleus meets the tibial bone. I was at the point where I would try anything to get rid of them and my physical therapist mentioned that magnets may be worth a shot.

I found Q magnets in my searchers and due to the straightforward information on the
website, some of the other testimonies with shin splints and the speedy response to my questions, I decided to purchase the set for lower back pain, as they contained the combination of devices I was after.

I followed the instructions that I was given and am happy to report that I’m very pleased with Q magnet results! I found the larger magnets to be effective pain relief for the larger calf muscles and the Q6-1.5‘s to be excellent for the pain along the tibial ledge.

Q magnets therapy helping to keep race car drivers out of pain and on the track

The GoldCoast 600 provided an opportunity to catch up with some of our European Q magnet fans.

Augusto Farfus and James Hermans at the GoldCoast600.

There are extreme demands on race car drivers which require intense physical and mental training. Back and neck pain, bruising, tendonitis and overuse injuries such as shin splints are common amongst race car drivers.

This is where Q magnets weave their magic. Many medical teams and professional athletes use Q magnets as an adjunct therapy for both chronic conditions and to speed up acute injury recovery.

Amazing Magnets!

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.

Are there any limitations to using Q magnets for the treatment of pain?

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

How to use Q magnet therapy for shin splints?

 

The first principle in using Q magnet therapy for the successful treatment of any condition is that they have to be placed directly over the injured tissue. Specificity is everything here. In addition, the correct device(s) needs to be selected such that the magnetic field gradient will envelope the target tissue.

Depth of penetration and surface area being the two critical factors in choosing the best devices.

If the pain from shin splints is spread over a large area of the leg, then multiple devices will need to be used. Remember, when placing multiple devices, the orientation arrows always need to be aligned and each device needs to be separated by its own width, otherwise the neighbouring fields tend to cancel each other out, rendering them  ineffective.
