In the last 20 years enough credible research has been undertaken to propose mechanisms of action and a few quite remarkable clinical outcomes in the utilization of quadrapolar magnets. Some of the effects of such magnetic therapy are improved circulation, reduced inflammation, correction of one's imbalances, enhanced immune function, more restful sleep, pressure relief and reduced or cessation of pain.
Much of this research was pioneered by neurologists Dr Robert Holcomb and Dr Mike McLean along with associate professors of neurology with Vanderbilt Medical University. Here they harvested stay nerve ganglions from people undergoing back surgery (using their permission of course) and experimented by exposing them to numerous static magnetic fields. What they found was remarkable, when they exposed the nerve cell to a steep field gradient by using a Quadrapolar magnet, the effect was to interrupt nerve impulse or pain signals.
The degree of pain relief possible with latest multipolar magnetic devices such as Q Magnets is incredible compared to what was possible ten years ago and therefore has clinical applications. Refer to our research review on scientific evidence of magnetic field therapy to see just how effective a pain management solution, magnetic field therapy is, when used or prescribed by neurologists and physiotherapy practitioners.
