Millions of people worldwide wear neodymium magnets to promote health and wellbeing because of their perceived ability to ease long-term chronic pain and ailments. While there is no scientific evidence to prove the effectiveness of magnetic therapy beyond the placebo effect, they are used by many people to help relieve pain caused by conditions such as arthritis, back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. These magnets can be fixed to the skin using surgical tape or sticking plaster, alternatively they can be sewn into clothing. Our advice would be to never choose magnetic therapy products as a substitute for visiting a medical professional about a condition.
