Calf Pain Relief Using Magnet Therapy
A muscle strain is a stretch or tear of muscle fibers. In the leg, muscle strains happen when a muscle is either stretched beyond its limits or forced into extreme contraction. Because the leg has many different muscles, it is vulnerable to several different types of muscle strains.
The calf muscle typically gets strained when the foot suddenly bends upward, stretching the calf muscle beyond its limits. At the time of injury, you may hear or feel a pop inside your calf - the sound of the muscle tearing or shearing away from the Achilles tendon. Calf muscle strains are common in athletes, especially tennis players and joggers. However, they also can happen during a simple stroll, if your foot flexes upward when you step into a hole in the sidewalk or if your heel slips off the edge of a curb.
Although the exact cause of muscle cramps is unknown (idiopathic), some researchers believe inadequate stretching and muscle fatigue leads to abnormalities in mechanisms that control muscle contraction. Other factors may also be involved, including exercising or working in intense heat, dehydration and depletion of salt and minerals (electrolytes).
Magnetic Therapy is a natural alternative therapy method used to relieve pain and restore energy. It is safe, effective and economical. Medical studies have proven that magnetic therapy helps to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase blood circulation and promote the healing process. Magnetic therapy is a non-invasive treatment for pain management, with outstanding results for pain relief in chronic conditions as fibromyalgia, arthritis and spinal disc diseases as well as providing pain relief from acute injuries.

HOW DO MAGNETS HEAL THE BODY?
Some researchers and doctors say that magnetic therapy don't actually heal the body. Science knows that the human body is composed of numerous cells that combine to form blood, tissues, bones and organs. These cells are in the constant state of renewing themselves the force which stimulates ,cellular growth and division is electromagnetic energy.
The charge on the cells of the body gets depleted as cells perform their normal daily functions and that the body tries to "recharge" the worn down cells by sending pulses of electromagnetic energy from the brain through the nervous system.
The magnetic therapy studies performed on animals, and microscopic examination of blood vessels, indicate that capillary blood flow is stimulated by the movement of magnetic fields through tissue and is the dominant factor in magnetic field therapy.
Magnetic therapy work much more quickly and effectively than heat, infrared light, anti-inflammatory drugs, trigger-point injections or microwave diathermy. It's likely to be four or six months before an injured skier or other athlete is back in play again from the conventional treatment of ice, followed by heat to reduce swelling. Heat alone will not stimulate therapeutic repair of injured tissue or muscle. An ample magnetic therapy increases supply of nutrient-rich blood is needed. Healing requires resumption of normal blood flow to the injured site, not simply pain relief. In magnetic therapy, knee braces can be removed more quickly; weightlifters can reduce lower back pain; sciatica (inflammation of sciatic nerve running down the hip and thigh) and carpal tunnel syndrome can be relieved.
Is magnetic therapy an officially recognized alternative health treatment?
Yes. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) classifies magnetic therapy as a form of Energy Medicine. The NCCAM is one of the 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health, and falls under the Public Health Service in the Department of Health and Human Services. The NCCAM states “Static magnets have been used for centuries in efforts to relieve pain. Numerous anecdotal reports have indicated that individuals have experienced significant, and at times dramatic, relief of pain after the application of static magnets over a painful area.”
Is magnetic therapy safe?
Yes, magnetic therapy is very safe. The World Health Organization has issued a formal statement confirming that static magnetic fields pose no health risks whatsoever. No complications have ever been reported with its proper use.
There are certain conditions where magnet therapy should not be used, such as if you are wearing a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or any other implanted electro-medical device or if you are pregnant.
