The biggest challenge for magnetic therapy today is the market has been flooded with cheap bipolar magnets that are designed and made for industrial, instead of therapeutic applications. Opportunistic companies have piggy backed off credible research since the 1980’s on pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), multipolar flexible magnets and quadrapolar magnets to sell the common bipolar magnets to an unsuspecting public.
Often times the very research these companies use for promotion bring into question the effectiveness of the bipolar magnets they sell. This demonstrates that neither they nor their customers really understand what the scientific literature is telling us about the types of magnetic fields that are more likely to have a therapeutic effect.
A static magnet requires no external power source and the most powerful type used therapeutically are the neodymium rare earth magnets. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are generated by passing an electrical current through a coiled or looped wire. While there are positive studies on static bipolar magnets, clinically they are rarely used by health professionals mostly because they are very unreliable. While they might produce a positive outcome for a few patients it’s uncertain how much of this effect is placebo and how much should be attributed to the magnet or the other treatments that are being administered.
Q Magnets are a quadrapolar magnet that generates steep field gradients that can penetrate up to 4-5cm (2 inches) and have been designed and specifically manufactured based on research to potentially provide comfort or localized temporary relief of minor aches and pains. They are used by sports physiotherapists and elite athletes all around the world.
When it comes to treating pain, nothing works 100% of the time which is true for Q Magnets, which is why we offer a 30 day customer satisfaction, money back guarantee. If you are looking for the temporary relief of symptoms of minor aches and pains of daily living and exploring magnetic therapy, then you’ve come to the right place.
