Only alphabrace.com's magnets use the combination of neodymium magnets, the strongest magnets available, in an alternating pole design. The use of magnets originated in Japan in the 20th century for pain treatment in the elderly. Later, in the USA athletes began to find magnets were effective in pain management and in speeding the healing process. Magnetic plus fields are now being used and tested in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and depression. Magnet therapy is thought to work by attracting the iron in the blood and by relaxing capillary walls surrounding muscle and connective tissues. Magnets also increase blood flow to the area they cover. Increased blood flow, oxygen and nutrients can help heal that area. But there are specialist who say that iron is bound to the hemoglobin in our blood cells and it cannot be affected by the presence of any magnetic field of a magnet in close proximity. There are some doctors who say that commercially-available magnets found in jewelry or mattress toppers, for example, are too small to alter blood flow in a human body, however, alphabrace.com's magnets are extra strength and strategically placed to help improve their effectiveness.
