Scam? Or genuine effectiveness? Magnet therapy, also known as biomagnetism, is considered a form of alternative or complementary medicine. Although it has existed for millennia and was used by many ancient civilisations, it established its place in modern society much later. When researching magnet therapy, reviews are essential. They provide concrete feedback on this increasingly popular natural medicine. From interviews with healthcare professionals and study results to customer testimonials, this article gathers various opinions on magnet therapy to keep you informed.
Therapeutic magnets are seeing a strong resurgence of interest from the medical community due to their effectiveness
Currently, France does not yet recognise magnet therapy as an official branch of medicine. However, it already holds a clear place in the healthcare systems of certain countries, such as Russia and Japan.
In Japan, "Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome" was theorised by Dr Kyoichi Nakagawa in the 1970s. He described a set of symptoms similar to fibromyalgia: diffuse pain, chronic fatigue, and sleep disorders. Static magnet treatments have successfully eliminated or significantly reduced these symptoms in many patients. Today, they are used in preventive medicine in several hospitals.
NASA has also contributed to the recognition of magnet therapy. In the 1980s, it noted that astronauts suffered from bone loss, sleep disturbances, and a weakened immune system in the absence of the Earth's magnetic field. Artificial magnetic field systems were therefore integrated into space shuttles, with spectacular results on the overall health of the crews.
More and more French doctors, particularly rheumatologists, are now providing positive feedback on the therapeutic use of magnets. You can consult the opinions of several specialists on this subject, such as Dr Jean-François Marc, a rheumatologist and sports physician, an excerpt of which follows:
"Therapeutic magnets are experiencing a strong resurgence of interest from the medical community due to their effectiveness, safety, and the discovery of their mechanisms of action on pain in both human and animal pathology."
"[...] They induce a very weak electric current (not perceptible by the patient) in the vessels under the skin where they are applied. This is the principle of magnetic conduction (Faraday’s Law). The brain identifies this 'intruder' signal, geolocates it, and in response produces endorphins—our strongest natural painkillers—which it directs via the bloodstream to the area of the electromagnetic signal."
"[...] Japanese researchers Y. Satow, K. Matsnami, and T. Kawashima have demonstrated that under the influence of a continuous magnetic field, muscle fibre tension decreases, inducing relaxation and facilitating muscle ease. Continuous magnetic fields create a 'magnetic bubble' of homogeneous intensity conducive to rest and relaxation."
"[...] In terms of tolerance, it is exceptional; continuous field magnetic waves have no harmful effects. There is no irradiation as with X-rays, and no risk of burns as with electrotherapy. At most, in some individuals, direct skin contact with magnets may cause minor, reversible local skin reactions upon removal. This is never observed with magnets embedded in textile supports."
Several studies conducted, with positive figures
As pioneers of magnetic therapy in France since 1996, we are committed to offering our customers products of irreproachable quality, while continuing to innovate and introduce the benefits of magnet therapy to as many people as possible.
We have relied on several existing studies and conducted our own to contribute to the recognition of magnet therapy’s utility in healthcare pathways.
The Omalgis Study This study concludes that the tested magneto-active brace provided significant pain relief within 1 to 2 months for patients suffering from severe chronic shoulder pain, regardless of the pain's origin. It also indicates a marked decrease in the consumption of painkillers and, for patients with limited mobility at the start, an improvement in joint range of motion—perceived as a major daily benefit. ➡️ View the Omalgis study.
The Actipol® Study This 3-month study of 30 fibromyalgia patients evaluated the impact of the Actipol® magnet therapy device on sleep. The reported results indicate:
-
A clear improvement in sleep quality (fewer night-time awakenings, easier to fall back asleep, fewer "bad nights," reduced bedtime anxiety);
-
A quantitative gain (increased sleep time);
-
A reduction in the use of certain medications (benzodiazepines/hypnotics/analgesics). ➡️ View the Actipol® study. ➡️ Discover all our consumer studies on magnet therapy.
Customers using our magnets also share their views on magnet therapy
Magnet therapy isn't "magic"—it's logic. By rebalancing the body's magnetic field, it helps relieve pain, improve sleep quality, deeply hydrate, and restore internal energy. Our customers regularly report the benefits they experience while wearing our therapeutic magnets. You can view these reviews on the Auris page of the "Avis Vérifiés" (Verified Reviews) website, including these examples:
-
