Treat Neck Spasms With Magnetic Therapy

Neck spasms can be very debilitating. Not only are people who suffer from these spasms in pain, but the pain actually starts affecting other areas of their life. Luckily, magnetic therapy is showing some promise to treat neck spasms. Basically, magnetic therapy works by blocking the pain signals from reaching the brain, helps prevent lactic acid from building up and improves blood circulation.


Instructions








1. Check in with your care provider if you're suffering from chronic pain like neck spasms. It may be a sign of a more serious condition. In addition, experts may recommend different magnets depending on the reason for the neck spasms.


2. Consider choosing a magnetic therapy neck wrap with pulsing magnetic therapy. Pulsing magnetic therapy may be more effective at treating neck spasms than products that simply contain magnets.


3. Purchase a magnetic necklace. Not only are these often attractive, but they may help in reducing neck spasms. You can also buy a supportive pillow for your neck that contains magnets (see Resources below).








4. Make sure you take the magnets off periodically. Some experts believe you can become "used" to the magnets, decreasing their effectiveness.
