Magnetic Therapy and Back Pain Relief - Is There A Connection? by Seth Daugherty

People suffer from back pain. It's a simple fact. It's such an obvious statement that it simply goes with the territory of being human; people accept it in the way they accept wrinkles in their sixties or sore joints in their forties. But does a person have to suffer from back pain?

It's a good question and some think that magnet therapy back products might be the answer - at least for milder forms of back pain.

The bottom line is that most back pain therapy solutions are expensive. Chiropractors cost an arm and a leg, pain killers do little more then delay or hide the pain, and can be even more expensive then chiropractors, and back surgery is extremely expensive and is only performed if a person has serious back problems.

- So what's left?

Some people, due to the solutions above providing less than desirable results, have turned to holistic remedies. One popular remedy in particular is magnet therapy back pain solutions. So how might magnet therapy back products work to solve your pained back?

- Here Are The Theories As To Why Magnet Therapy Back Products May Help To Alleviate Chronic Pain:

One prevailing theory is that because there is iron in the blood, the iron attracts the magnetic field increasing blood flow. However this is simply inaccurate, because blood iron is not floating around on its own, but rather attached to hemoglobin molecules. These hemoglobin molecules are actually repelled by magnets.

A more plausible theory however, is that magnetic fields may alter calcium channels in the muscle cells, and this would cause arteries to dilate. This would decrease swelling which is important for healing as well as in alleviating pain in the target area. This is a possible reason some proponents believe that magnet therapy back pain solutions are the best bang for your buck.

But don't start spending your money just yet. It's important to remember that some magnet therapy back products have the strength of a refrigerator magnet, which is seen by the magnetic therapy community as having no therapeutic benefits at all. You will want to make sure you are getting a strong magnet, and that you are placing it as close to the skin as possible since magnets lose their strength quickly within only short distances from the target area.

Also, the placement of the magnets inside the magnet therapy back products is important, so you want to make sure the manufacturer is aware of this.

This would include a few different types of magnet therapy back products:

- Magnetic Therapy Mattress Pads: Many magnet mattress pads are made with memory foam. This could be seen as a good solution because we spend one-third of our lives in bed.

- Magnet Therapy Chairs: Magnetic Therapy Chairs should be designed with the same care as a good back support chair like a 24/7 chair.

- Magnet Therapy Car Seats: Car seats with magnets are certainly rarer then magnetic mattress pads and magnetic chairs, however they do exist and would be good for people on the go.

- Magnet Therapy Back Support Belts: These back support belts are essentially no different then regular back support belts, save the fact that they have magnets in them.

The bottom line behind all the magnet therapy back products mentioned above is that they are designed to send a magnetic field to the target area, in this case the back. I must point out that magnet therapy back solutions are seen as holistic at best and are not said to "cure" or "heal" any type of chronic pain. We may see a shift in this when further studies are provided in the medical field, but only time will let use know the precise benefits magnetic therapy may have for our bodies.

- Magnet Therapy Back Pain Solutions:

Remember that there is probably no cure-all for back pain, and serious back pain may be better treated with surgery, or a good chiropractor. But if you are looking for that extra edge, you may consider magnet therapy back products, some of which were mentioned above. Just remember there is a lot of research still to be completed regarding magnetic therapy and there are a lot of magnet therapy companies that would love to separate you from your cash a lot more than they want to separate you from your back pain.

I have serious intimacy issues help?

I am 20 years old and a virgin. I have never had a serious girlfriend. Ive never even made out with a girl. I have issues with physical contact. I fantasize about making love with a girl I like but actually carrying it out freaks me out. I just hate touching. I was physically abused as a child and went to therapy back then but I guess it hasn't helped in some areas. anyway I also don't like people staring at me. I feel like if I got a girlfriend, my family would talk about us behind our backs and others would just stare at us. I want a relationship so bad but these issues are bugging me.

Please go back to counseling and work on this. Or, get a book about overcoming abuse. It's natural to be scared of something that has been used to hurt you! Sorry, be easy on yourself but take things slow and give yourself time to trust soneone who is trustworthy.
