Why Is There So Much Confusion Around Magnetic Therapy?
If you’ve ever tried to understand magnetic therapy, you’ve probably encountered a frustrating pattern: One source says magnets increase blood flow Another says they reduce it Some claim powerful results Others say there’s no effect at all So which is it? The confusion isn’t because there’s no science. It’s because the science is often misinterpreted, oversimplified, and applied without context....
How athletes are using Q Magnets to help get back to their sport sooner…
The active athlete playing contact or even extreme sports will inevitably suffer from heavy knocks and bruising. The RICE method is always a popular way of dealing with injury, but in the search for a smoother recovery and the temporary relief of minor aches and pains, many athletes are now adding another letter to the acronym - RICEM. Rest Ice Compression Elevation Magnets (Q Magnets that is)...
Homeopathy, Magnetic Therapy and Placebos
This is an excellent article from Prof. Edzard Ernst and his homeopathic journey from advocate to sceptic. Personally, I know very little about homeopathy and will not pass judgement. But we are experts in magnetic therapy and these are observations after thousands of patients treated, being familiar with almost all of the published literature and conducting our own university sponsored...
Sharing the gift of natural pain relief.
Dear James and Dianne, I'm out here in the sunroom feeling sicker and sicker BUT I am determined to testify to the blessing of your Q Magnets. Right now I am battling a kidney infection and have had a week in hospital. BUT the magnet on my L kidney last night made me sleep well. Now I have 2 small magnets on very sore ribs as I also battle with costochondritis. BUT many people I have given...
Is a 42% improvement in symptoms too much to ask?
Clinically important interventions are those whose effects are large enough to make the associated costs, inconveniences, effort and harms worthwhile. Dr Manuela Ferreira from The University of Sydney recently looked at the clinical significance of treatment and found that on average for treatment to be worth the effort, patients expected a 42% improvement in symptoms. The bottom line is that...
Pistol Shooting Forearm Pain: A Physiotherapist’s Q Magnets Experience
Hours spent on the pistol range caused an overuse strain of the extensor carpi radialis muscle located on the back of the forearm. Learn about Dean’s experience applying Q magnet therapy treatment.
Variations in magnetic field therapy…What to do for best results:
We have already covered why specificity is critical when using neuromagnetics. But, what are the variables in the application of magnetic therapy and why is it so easy to get it wrong? Duration of Exposure. Anecdotal reports show that an MRI can be quite therapeutic, but exposure to the field is usually no more than 20 minutes duration. For best results, most Q Magnet applications need to...
Q Magnets Featured for Athlete Recovery in Run4 Your Life Magazine
Q Magnets for sports injury recovery are gaining attention among athletes looking for ways to support faster recovery and stay active. A notable example comes from a feature in Run4 Your Life Magazine, where Q Magnets appeared in the “What’s Hot” section, highlighting their growing recognition in the athletic community. See also, Magnetic Therapy for Sports Injury Recovery For serious...
If a combination of strong magnetic field and field gradients is so effective at “blocking” pain, then why doesn’t an MRI provide strong pain relief?
This was one of the more intelligent questions we have had from doctors and it came from a paediatric neurologist. So we took some time to hopefully provide a considered response. The premise being that MRI's have both strong magnetic fields and strong field gradients. While I have known people in considerable pain who have found an MRI scan to be therapeutic, I’m not sure if this is commonly...
Why Race Car Drivers Are Using Q Magnets for Recovery and Staying on Track
Many professional race car drivers use Q Magnets as an adjunct therapy for both minor aches and pains and to help in recovery so they can get back to training sooner. Back and neck pain, bruising, tendinitis and overuse injuries such as shin splints are common among race car drivers.
Amazing Magnets!
This two minute video shows a remarkable superconducting material levitating above a magnetic field. The way the magnets are positioned would indicate that they are multipolar and generating a strong field gradient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA
Are there any limitations to using Q Magnets for the treatment of pain?
When it comes to the treatment of pain, there are so many variables that no therapy works 100% of the time. Q Magnets are no different, we have never said they are a silver bullet, but they can certainly be a powerful adjunct therapy. Just ask John, who suffered with low back pain for 27 years before he was introduced to Q Magnets. Within minutes, he was pain free! This has been repeated many...
A Practical Guide to Using Q Magnets for Shin Soreness in Athletes
Shin splints and minor shin soreness are common issues for athletes, often interrupting training and performance. Knowing how to use Q Magnet therapy for shin splints may help support recovery by targeting the affected area directly. For a broader understanding of how this approach fits into recovery, see our guide on magnetic therapy for athletes and how it is used across different injuries....
A new drug for chronic pain is showing promise, but how does it compare with research on magnetic field therapy?
The Internet is abuzz with medical sites and journalists praising researchers for a promising new pain drug called conolidine. Extracted from the bark of the tabernaemontana divaricate tree, chemists recently devised a way to synthesise conolidine and one trial with mice suggested that it could reduce inflammatory pain. While any news like this is always encouraging and should rightly be...
New treatments for chronic pain have not been forthcoming, but Q Magnets are providing answers for some pain sufferers.
A recent review in The Lancet by Turk, concluded that the last 10-20 years has made very little progress in the treatment of non-cancer chronic pain. Turk noted there is a crucial need for a combination of therapies to tackle this pervasive problem. Clinics such as the Lifestyle Pain Clinic have many case studies of long term chronic pain sufferers who now live productive lives. Treating...
New research on static magnetic fields and tissue repair
Fresh off the press is the latest journal article investigating the effects of a static magnetic field (SMF) on tissue repair. Published in the Archives of Medical Research, scientists looked at the effects of moderate intensity SMF on damaged cartilage in rabbits. This study did not specifically use a Q Magnet. What makes this study different from previous attempts is that the magnets were...
I have found them a God send.
Having been in two car smashes that left my car facing in the opposite direction to which I was travelling, I suffered from severe Whip Lash and stress to my shoulders, elbows and wrists. I also have a weak lower back as a result of lifting when I was nursing. After years (25) of sitting behind a computer, most times for 12 hours or more a day, 5 days a week. The stiffening of my...
Why training and specificity is critical in getting results with neuromagnetics
Q Magnets are a magnetic field gradient generating medical device and provides the user with an optimized design based on extensive research and feedback. Even so, the magnetic field of a static magnet dissipates very quickly and the effect is highly localized. If you do not select the right Q Magnet model for the right target tissue, then there is very little chance of a therapeutic effect. So...
Health professional training for Q Magnet therapy
From the year 2000, neurologist and pioneer of the development of quadrapolar magnets for pain, Dr Robert Holcomb made many trips to Australia and New Zealand to train health professionals to treat minor aches and pains of daily living and share some of his more remarkable experiences. On one of these trips he made the comment that the best training for the application would come from...

The journalist, Linda Muller asked a series of questions of Dianne and myself and some of the patients for the article. You can read the article by clicking on the image below... mk
Review of the NCCIH misleading review of magnets for pain. Yes we agree. GET THE FACTS!
NCCIH (formerly NCCAM) recently used the modern communication method of Twitter to tweet their outdated review of the science and evidence for magnetic therapy. Their information page has the title "get the facts" and since they managed to leave out the most important facts, we felt compelled to write the following explanation. The National Centre for Complementary and Integrative...
Magnetic fields reduce blood viscosity
An area of medicine that continues to show promise is the application of therapeutic magnetic fields. Recently scientists have found that exposing blood flow to a pulsed 1.3T magnetic field can significantly reduce its viscosity which could have profound implications in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
