Magnetic Jewelry Therapy

Does a magnetic bracelet actually work? if so how?

I consistently suffer from back pain and knee pain espically while walking a golf course and carrying my bag. Do these bracelts actually work cause i often see golfers wearing them when i play?

1. Why not ask them?
2. CAn a bear use a toilet and wipe w/tp??? U got your answer... lol
3. My grandfather swears by them. However, my father in law says they do not work. I think it completely depends on the person. And mind over matter.
4. Depends on the strength of the magnet. In most cases ABSOLUTELY not because they cannot even penetrate the thickness of a sheet of paper....your skin is thicker than a piece of paper! Try to pin a piece of paper up against a fridge with one of those magnets...if it does not hold the paper then its useless, if it can hold the paper then MAYBE it might have some value but nobody has been able to prove it.
5. they work to put money in the pockets of people who make the bracelets.
6. No. It is just clever marketing. Try to wheel your load whenever you can. Do more exercises to strengthen your back and knees...yoga is great.
7. There is absolutely no medical evidence behind these. Not even worth discussing.
8. I have used a magnetic bracelet for carpul tunnel pain. It didn't really work however, I think the magnets work just depends on how intense the pain is.
