2. Effects on the nervous system:

 The other theory maintains that magnets produce a slight electrical current. When
magnets are applied to a painful area of the body, the nerves in that area are
stimulated, thus releasing the body's natural painkillers. (alterations in nerve
impulses, blockage of nerve-cell conduction, reduction of edema (fluid retention),
increases in local tissue oxygen, increases in endorphins, relaxation of muscles,
changes in cell membranes, or stimulation of acupoints (similar to the proposed
activity of acupuncture needles).

Reported effects include:

• Vasodilatation Anti-oxidant stimulation
• Reduction of edema • Brain Function Effects
• Reduced platelet adhesion • Stress Reduction
• Acceleration of enzyme reactions • Hormonal Changes
• Enhanced calcium, sodium and • Learning Changes
• Scar Modification
other ion movement • Enhanced Metabolism
• Muscle relaxation • Water Modification
• Stimulation of nitric oxide • Electrolyte Changes
• Bone Healing
production • Acceleration of Bone Formation
• Enhanced membrane function • Autonomic Nervous System

Uses of magnetic therapy:

The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They
often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have
not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious.
