Magnetic back belt

Lower back pain is an extremely common symptom that occurs with various pathologies of the spinal column and internal organs. For hernias, radiculitis, bruises and sprains, you can use a magnetic belt to treat your back. By using this product, it is possible to speed up recovery, eliminate pain and improve overall well-being.

Appearance of the magnetic belt

Operating principle

The operating principle of the product is based on the effect of a magnetic field on the human body. Due to magnetic radiation, it is possible to relieve inflammation, improve microcirculation and cell nutrition, and eliminate swelling. The action is explained by the fact that due to magnetic influence, electric currents arise in the cells, which in turn affect the physicochemical properties of the body’s water systems and the speed of biochemical and biophysical processes.

Also, using a belt allows you to warm up the affected area. The dense fabric of the product has fixing properties and supports the lumbar muscles. By tightening the lower back, it is possible to significantly reduce the load on the back.

Important! Wearing a magnetic belt has virtually no negative effect, but it is recommended to consult a specialist before using it.

Operating principle of a magnetic corrector

A corset with magnets maintains the correct position of the spinal column. The corrector creates a magnetic field that returns natural tone to muscle tissue and increases blood flow. As a result, biological processes are stabilized and pain disappears.

The magnetic posture corrector is capable of solving the following problems::

Correction of posture.
Reduces pain symptoms.
Improves blood circulation.
Strengthens the back muscles.
Normalizes metabolic processes.

The magnetic field, of course, will not correct the shape of the spine, but it will speed up the restoration of spinal function.

Magnetic influence manifests itself as follows:

Relieves inflammation. The damaged tissue in the parts of the spine exposed to magnets is restored.
Water molecules are magnetized, which causes the formation of ions that can reduce the negative effects of toxins.
Blood vessels dilate. This accelerates the flow of nutrients into the skin.
Magnets charge hydrogen ions, which destroy oxidants. A large accumulation of peroxide radicals negatively affects human health.
Tissue swelling is reduced.
Magnets stimulate active points, thereby relieving spasms and also calming the nerves.

The device significantly improves the condition of the spine, aligning posture and improving blood flow.

Contraindications

Among the contraindications to treatment with this remedy are:

pregnancy and lactation;
presence of a pacemaker;
severe course of any disease of the body.

It is also undesirable to use the product in the presence of serious pathologies of the cardiovascular system.

Before starting treatment for low back pain, it is necessary to determine the cause of its occurrence.

If there are contraindications, preference should be given to other methods of therapy. The treatment plan for the disease should be drawn up by a specialized doctor.

Types of belts with magnets for the back

Products are divided into several types. Classification is carried out according to the material of execution and additional properties. The following types of products are distinguished:

magnetic heating;
tourmaline;
corsetry.

To choose the right support belt, you need to clearly define your goals and objectives. If you need to securely fix your back and relieve stress from your muscles, it is recommended to choose magnetic corsets.

Method of influence

One of the parameters by which the type of magnetic product is determined is the method of exposure to the affected area. Both purely magnetic and combined belts are popular. For example, to enhance the effect, products with tourmaline crystals and magnetic inserts can be used. They have a broader effect on the lower back and muscles. Tourmaline has an ionizing effect, which helps to recover faster from various diseases of the spinal column.

By manufacturing method

Therapy can be carried out with a variety of therapeutic belts. As a rule, most of them are manufactured in industrial conditions using modern materials. You can also find handmade products that may differ in additional properties or individual shape. Tightening options do a great job of maintaining posture.

Belts are sold by a fairly large number of companies. When choosing, first of all you need to pay attention to the properties of the product. The creation method also needs to be studied when choosing a high-quality product.

By composition

A classic magnetic belt is created from the following components:

cotton fabric;
adhesive tape;
magnetic inserts.

The orthopedic version has a stiffer fabric that allows you to securely fix the lower back. For a warming effect, the belt can be partially made from sheep wool.

Important! The quality of materials directly affects the durability of the product. To treat your back, you need to wear the product for a long period of time.

What is a magnetic posture corrector?

Magnetic therapy is an alternative treatment method that is often used in orthopedics. Therefore, for problems with the spine, magnetic correctors began to be used. Wearing a corset reduces swelling, reduces pain in the spine and normalizes the functioning of the nervous system.

The magnetic posture corrector is a simple design. This is a belt with Velcro that can be adjusted. The corset contains 12 magnets that perform important functions. They are located along the lower back and along the spinal column.

Magnetic correctors contain magnets placed along the spine

The product is usually made of nylon, which is elastic and durable. These features help fix the back in a normal position.

The magnetic field created is small, only 800 gauss . This is quite enough to reduce pain and relieve muscle inflammation.

The product helps align the spine, although it does not affect bone tissue. Magnetic correctors are made of thin material and do not hinder movement.

How to choose the right one

To choose the right treatment belt, you must adhere to the following rules:

pay attention to the size of the product;
choose products taking into account the individual characteristics of the disease;
carefully study contraindications (some models may have their own list of prohibitions for wearing).

The main parameter when choosing is the size of the magnetic belt. It fits the waist circumference. It is extremely important that the product does not squeeze the stomach, but at the same time fits tightly enough. Each manufacturer labels their product differently. To select, it is recommended to first measure your waist circumference, and then compare it with the markings of the belt.

There are also elastic universal corsets that are suitable for most people with a normal build. This option should be chosen when ordering remotely, when it is impossible to pre-try on the product.

If the product is selected incorrectly, its effectiveness will be reduced.

Various warming and compression magnetic products should be purchased in specialized stores. Before starting treatment with the purchased product, it is recommended to consult with a specialist and include exercise therapy and physiotherapy in the treatment regimen.

Therapeutic belt for the lower back and other magnetotherapy products

First, we need to tell you a little about the authors of this interesting study. Leonard Feingold is a luminary from the University of Philadelphia, this university is a world leader in medical engineering and technology, studying all modern trends in science. Physicist, theorist and practitioner, specialist in magnetic fields and magnets. Bruce Flamm is a famous general practitioner, researcher and practitioner, leader of a scientific team. Probably, a physicist and a doctor should explain all the benefits or harms that come with a magnetic therapeutic belt for the lower back, which, along with other devices for the whole body, turned out to be such a huge number of people who wanted to buy it that scientists were simply shocked.

Every year, sales of such products as magnetic straps, insoles, belts, cervical collars, corsets, pillows, etc. are absolutely monstrous - three hundred million dollars in the USA alone and significantly more than a billion dollars in the rest of the world. The advertising campaign moves non-stop: in every country it is said that a magnetic healing belt can cure a huge number of diseases - almost all existing ones, and especially quickly it relieves any pain in the human body.

You can ask Yandex or “Google” in Russia - more than twenty thousand pages of advertising for magnetic treatment are returned, without even taking into account (that is, excluding from the search) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Warning: do not read! Otherwise, there will certainly be a danger of falling under the hypnosis of marketers, who very picturesquely tell where to buy a belt and why it is needed. These stories can impress even a person who graduated from physics and mathematics.

Price

The cost of the product depends on many factors (number of magnetic inserts, composition, dimensions and materials used). On average, the price for a therapeutic belt with magnets is about 1000-1500 rubles.

Most products have a textile closure with Velcro, which allows you to adjust the degree of girth

It is advisable to make purchases in stores where you can try on the product. When ordering online, it is recommended to choose universal options that will not be too small or large.

Approximate cost of popular correctors

The price of a magnetic corrector depends on the type and functions of the model. You should only purchase a corset at a pharmacy or specialty store. But before purchasing, you should definitely consult with an orthopedist, who will recommend the model most suitable for the existing pathology.

The following posture correctors are considered the most popular::

Instructions for use

The Velcro belt is worn over the body or a thin cotton T-shirt. It is tightened so that each element fits tightly to the back. You can wear regular clothes over the product. While wearing the belt, you can do your usual activities. When using rigid corsets, it is permissible to place a small load on the spine. For some diseases, maintaining a normal lifestyle in the initial stages of treatment is only possible by wearing a special belt.

Treatment using a magnetic product lasts at least 2-4 weeks. You can wear it all day long. In the future, the course of therapy can be repeated after 2-3 months. If side effects occur or your general health deteriorates, you should stop wearing the corset.

Important! The belt is overlapped to secure it in place. To ensure a secure fit, you need to carefully fasten the Velcro together.

Types of correctors and features of their use

Posture correctors are divided according to the functions they perform, as well as the intensity of the impact.

They are divided into the following types:

Soft models. They are intended for the prevention and treatment of the disease in the initial stage.
Semi-rigid. These models exert quite a lot of pressure on the spine and are used in the treatment of moderate spinal column deformities.
Hard correctors. Used for advanced scoliosis.

Types of structures:

Elastic - secures the shoulder joints and upper body.
Magnetic - magnets are used to improve the health of the spine.
Electronic - a device is installed under the collarbone, which will react to the incorrect position of the spine.

Before using a posture corrector, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for wearing such a product.:

Familiarize yourself with the general rules for using orthopedic corsets. It is advisable to wear them in the morning, when the muscles are in a relaxed state.
At first, the device is worn for no more than 30 minutes. Wearing time increases gradually and reaches 6 hours a day.
The corrector is used for no more than six months.
The greatest effect is achieved when the back muscles experience a static load, which means the person eats and works almost motionless.
The use of a corset cannot be ruled out during dynamic work if there is discomfort in the spine (prolonged standing or walking).
Naturally, the reclinator is removed before going to bed.
During heavy physical activity, it also needs to be removed.

The corrector is secured with special straps and secured with Velcro . The first time the belts are tensioned, an orthopedist must carry out the tensioning. For better results, the length of the corset loops is gradually shortened. This is done after 4 days to increase tension .

Who should wear a belt with magnets?

Among the categories of people who can benefit from wearing a magnetic corset are:

drivers of vehicles who spend a lot of time behind the wheel;
athletes who are under heavy loads;
people who suffer from hereditary diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

If serious discomfort occurs, you must consult a specialist.
The product can be used not only for therapy, but also for the prevention of diseases of the spinal column. If you wear a belt when lifting weights, you will significantly reduce the risk of hernias and protrusions. Products with a compression effect allow you to maintain normal intra-abdominal pressure when working with heavy loads.

Reviews

Most people who used a magnetic belt were able to achieve the desired result.

I wore a belt with sewn-in magnets for 3 months. I was diagnosed with a hernia. After the treatment, I managed to get rid of the pain, and it no longer bothered me, however, when I began to lead an active life, the unpleasant sensation returned. Thanks to this product, I was able to return to my normal rhythm of life. At the same time as wearing it, I did exercise therapy and strengthened my back muscles.

Olga, 43 years old

The doctor advised me to purchase a medical corset to prevent vertebral displacement. I consider my back to be quite healthy, but before I started actively wearing the magnetic belt, I periodically encountered a little pain after a day of work. After wearing the belt for a month, the problem was completely resolved.

Magnetic treatment belt and dose limit

Ah, if only magnets were even half as effective in relation to human health as they say they are! But the uselessness of such treatment is already evidenced by the fact that not a single magnetic belt has cured sciatica. Maybe it depends on the dose? Like, for example, medications, X-rays, lasers - it is clearly defined how much is possible, and when it is no longer possible under any circumstances. These are proven remedies, useful up to a certain point, and then toxic, but the back does not feel the optimal dose that the magnetic belt should contain, and the doctors have not determined it.

They say this: if magnetic therapy does not help, you need to increase the power of the magnets. But theoretical scientists refute this too. And marketers themselves are confused in their readings. In advertising, the healing power of the force field constantly varies (depending on the manufacturer). Most are inclined to buy a belt where power is proportional to efficiency. Of course it sounds nice. However, it also sounds meaningless. Even though the authors of this statement are people who have received the specialty of magnetotherapist. I wonder what kind of organization issued such diplomas? Not otherwise - an intergalactic association of healing with the help of stones, sticks and other known substances.
