Magnetic Therapy Contraindications
For most people, the exposure to static magnetic fields is considered very safe. Probably the most serious risk is for those who have a pacemaker. In fact, one published study stated that small Neodymium magnets (around 10mm in size) needed to be as close as 3cm (just over an inch) to interfere with a pacemaker. Here is a comprehensive list of warnings... Magnetic Therapy Contraindications... IF...
With Magnetic Therapy – Is Bigger Always Better? Is Stronger Always Superior?
Using a big hammer to tap in a small tack is not the best tool for the job, so too the biggest and strongest magnet is not always the best option for magnetic therapy pain relief.Selecting the right device is common sense. Use the smallest devices (Q6-1.5 and QF10-2) for trigger points, acupuncture points and small joints such as fingers.While for the lower back and larger joints such as hip...

The most exciting development in my 40 years of following pain therapies
"The most exciting development in my 40 years of following pain therapies is the use of Neuromagnetics [Q Magnets] to manage pain. People's satisfaction has gone through the roof with the results of using this ground breaking technology to shut down "C" fiber activity. At times it's like a miracle. Changing people’s lives - one pain at a time". Doug Edwards. Auckland, New Zealand Doug has held...
How long do I need to wear Q Magnets before they begin to work?
Athletes often ask how long athletes should wear Q Magnets for recovery, especially when dealing with fatigue, strain, or post-training discomfort. The timeline can vary significantly depending on the type of injury, how long it has been present, and how the body responds. In some cases, athletes may notice changes quickly, while in others, magnetic therapy for sports injury recovery may take...
Italian Study Shows Static Magnetic Fields Benefits Pain.
DISCLAIMER: The type of magnet used is this study is not a Q Magnet. An Italian study using neodymium magnets sewn into textile supports worn 2-8 hours/day for 4 months has shown significant benefits over and above placebo. The 48 subjects enrolled in the study suffered from osteoarthritis or osteoporosis and were assessed for pain perception at 2 and 4 months after commencing the trial....
Knee Pain – Acupuncture, Low Level Laser and Q Magnets pain relief
Acupuncture is a popular complementary therapy for knee pain, however a recent study did not recommend acupuncture for chronic knee pain in patients over 50 years. In this article we review the research and show how acupuncture can be combined synergistically with Q Magnet therapy as a supplementary treatment for even better pain relief (see references below). We have had feedback from many...

Response to RACQ magazine “The Road Ahead” article on magnetic therapy.
An article on magnetic therapy titled “Magnets’ pull yet to be proven” appeared in the Oct/Nov, 2014 issue of the popular RACQ magazine, The Road Ahead. The RACQ is also a large insurer for motor vehicle injuries and ironically we have had a role in rehabilitating many of their policy holders for conditions such as whip lash using Q Magnets. The author of the article is prominent Australian...
How to separate strong Q Magnets
It can almost seem impossible to get the larger Q Magnets apart, unless you have the right technique. The larger Q Magnets are needed to get the extra depth of penetration required to target the larger joints such as the hips and the lower back. But with size comes strength and being made from the strongest static magnet material available (neodymium) this can have unintended consequences. It...
How Athletes Use magnetic therapy to Support Recovery and Stay in the Game
Serious athletes train at high intensity it’s part of the process. But overexertion and accumulated fatigue can lead to sprains, strains, bruising, and even fractures. Soft-tissue injuries are especially disruptive, often limiting performance and extending recovery timelines.For athletes trying to return to training and competition as quickly as possible, recovery becomes just as important as...
Multipolar static magnetic field may provide relief to side-effects of pain medications
DISCLAIMER: The type of magnet used is this study is not a Q Magnet. The safety and effectiveness of Q Magnets has not been established in the treatment of erosive gastritis. Every week, new research is published strengthening the claim that static magnets can be optimised for therapeutic effects. While the magnetic device used in this study is not a Q Magnet, the multipolar arrangement does...
Magnetic Revolution: Why magnetism is a new frontier in medical research.
The use of magnetic fields is fast developing into a most promising area of medical research. Magnetism is cutting edge in the areas of cardiology (remote magnetic navigation, spatially targeted therapeutics), surgery (reflux management system), oncology (magnetic induction hyperthermia), psychiatry (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS), radiology (MRI), pathology (magneto-optic...

Dowsing, divining and magnetic fields.
Did you know that a dowser, walking along divining for water, is actually sensing changes in the earth’s magnetic field? If you were able to shrink right down to miniature size and move across the surface of a common bipolar magnet, there would be no change in the magnetic field and it’s said to be uniform or “homogeneous”. Whereas, if you were able to walk across a Quadrapolar magnet, there...
Can Magnetic Therapy Help Athletes Recover from DOMS?
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is one of the most common recovery challenges athletes face after unfamiliar or intense training. It typically appears the day after exercise and peaks around 48 hours later, often limiting performance and training consistency . For athletes exploring recovery tools like magnetic therapy, the key question is not just whether it works, but which type of...

We have provided a transcript of the interview with some links to the supporting documents and quoted studies. Introduction by host David Prior of 2UE: People have been using magnets for a long time now, third century AD the Greeks were actually treating arthritis with magnets. Medieval doctors used magnets to treat gout, poisoning and also baldness, believe it or not. Today, magnets are popular...
Cochrane Review Supports the Use of Electromagnetic Field Therapy
DISCLAIMER: The type of magnets evaluated in this review are electromagnetic fields (generated by electricity) and not static magnetic fields as Q Magnets are defined. The Cochrane Collaboration published an important review in October 2013 called “Electromagnetic fields for treating osteoarthritis (Review)". For those that are interested, the review can be downloaded here. It considers...
Three Things You Should Know Before Saying There Is No Evidence for Magnetic Therapy
When someone says there is “no evidence” for magnetic therapy, it often sounds like a definitive scientific conclusion. However, the reality is usually more complicated. The discussion around evidence for magnetic therapy is often affected by how studies are designed, what type of magnets are used, where they are placed, how long they are worn, and what biological mechanisms are being...
Magnetic Fields and Laser Combining Once Again to Improve People’s Lives…
In a previous post, we debunked the myths around magnetic therapy and blood flow and explained why iron (Fe) in the blood in not attracted to a magnet field. The scientific principles around iron in haemoglobin have now made it possible to simply detect the malaria parasite using a combination of magnetic fields and laser light. Many clinics use LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) in the...
