There is a thin line between CAM (Complementary and Alternative medicine) and quackery, nevertheless a visible line for the informed. The use of magnets is no recommended in my practice.

I have a herniated disc and have used magnet therapy. It did work for me. Give it a try! Magnet Therapy does work and if used on a regular basis can relieve pain in the back.

This includes magnetic sleep pads, small neodymium magnets to be placed on acupuncture points, even 4 inch by 6 inch magnetic blocks. Static forms of magnetism do not seem to work. However, there is some promise for pulsing electromagnets. I was a treatment subject for major depression at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Without going into detail, electromagnets were placed on different places of my head, as determined by an MRI. This was done 5 times a week for 2 months. It did help my depression, but the study ended and I went back on medication. The medication helped me more after the treatments than before it. This is what the researchers expected, and was one of the main goals of the treatment. Some acupuncturists use electromagnetic pulses rather than needles. You might want to try that. Best wishes.
