FAQs
What is magnetic therapy?
Magnetic therapy is a non-invasive approach that applies static magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes. It may be used on its own or alongside existing care. People use it to support natural pain relief, comfort, mobility, and sleep, without drug side effects.
Is magnetic therapy safe?
Static magnets are generally considered safe when used properly. Do not use magnets if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or other implanted electro-medical device, or if you are pregnant, unless your clinician approves.
Does magnetic therapy have any side effects?
No side effects are typically reported with proper use.
How long has magnetic therapy been in use?
Historical reports trace use back thousands of years in several cultures. Modern materials made magnets smaller and stronger, which led to broader use and clinical interest since the mid-20th century.
How does magnetic therapy work?
The working idea is that static magnetic fields interact with local tissues and circulation. Users report comfort through relaxation of soft tissues and improved local blood flow, supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery and the removal of by-products.
Is magnetic therapy an officially recognized alternative health treatment?
Magnet use is often discussed within complementary and integrative health. Classification and guidance differ by country and organization. Always follow local regulations and your clinician’s advice.
Does magnetic therapy use the same magnetic fields as power lines?
No. Magnetic therapy products use static (unchanging) magnets. Power lines and appliances generate alternating electromagnetic fields, which are different in nature and frequency.
How effective is magnetic therapy?
Outcomes vary. Design, magnet strength, placement, consistency, and the condition all matter. EvraCare focuses on thoughtful design and clear guidance to support better results.
What is gauss rating and why are there so many different ones?
Gauss is a unit that describes magnetic flux density. Different materials and grades yield different gauss ratings. Common biomagnet types include:
- Flexible rubber magnets: thicker, stronger than typical fridge magnets; often ~2300–2650 gauss at the magnet.
- Ceramic (ferrite) magnets: various grades, e.g., ~2300–3950 gauss.
- Neodymium magnets: high-energy rare-earth types, often ~10,800–12,800 gauss grades.
Note: manufacturer gauss is measured at the magnet, not at the skin. Surface strength at the product face is what the body “sees.”
Is gauss rating a good indicator of product effectiveness?
Not by itself. Magnet size, number, spacing, polarity orientation, and distance to the target tissue also determine field reach and comfort.
I’ve seen claims of 280,000 gauss. Is that possible?
No. Such numbers are misleading. Adding up multiple magnets’ gauss ratings doesn’t create a bigger single-point field. EvraCare publishes clear, practical specs so you can compare responsibly.
What is penetration depth and is it important?
Penetration depth is how far a usable field reaches from the magnet surface. It depends on magnet strength, size, and distance. Fields fall off quickly with distance, so build and placement matter.
EvraCare targets a practical field at the skin surface and through soft tissue for everyday wearables.
How do I obtain the best results from magnetic therapy?
- Use consistently as directed.
- Adjust placement if relief is limited; referred pain can originate elsewhere.
- Consider acupuncture points with acu-magnets under professional guidance.
How quickly will magnetic therapy work?
Timing varies by condition and severity. Some acute discomfort eases within minutes to days. Chronic issues may take several days to a couple of weeks of steady use.
When should I stop using magnetic therapy?
After symptoms improve, many users continue a bit longer to support recovery. For recurring conditions, re-apply if discomfort returns. Follow clinician guidance for injuries and post-surgical care.
How does magnetic therapy assist healing of injuries?
By supporting tissue relaxation and local circulation, magnets may help deliver oxygen and nutrients while moving by-products away from the area.
Can magnetic fields penetrate bone?
Yes, strong enough static fields pass through soft tissue and bone. Depth depends on magnet strength and size.
How does magnetic therapy provide back pain relief?
Users report comfort when magnets are placed over tense or sore regions, potentially aiding circulation and normal nerve signaling. Correct placement and consistent wear are key.
How does magnetic therapy reduce joint pain?
By supporting local tissue comfort and circulation around the joint area. Many users pair magnets with gentle mobility work for better outcomes.
How does magnetic therapy improve sleep?
- Pain relief often makes falling and staying asleep easier.
- Some users report better sleep quality with magnetic pads or pillows.
Do you offer products that can be used in a wheelchair?
High-back magnetic seat pads are commonly used to support comfort during long sitting and may help relax muscle tension.
Can I use magnets if I am pregnant?
Avoid magnets during pregnancy unless your clinician specifically approves.
Can magnets affect surgical pins or plates?
No. Common orthopedic hardware (e.g., surgical stainless steel) is typically non-magnetic.
I wear orthotic shoes. Will magnetic insoles still work?
Yes. Strong magnetic insoles can be used under orthotics; field strength at the foot surface is what matters.
Can I wear an EvraCare support or pad over my clothes?
Yes. Wearing against the skin improves moisture wicking and comfort, but use what feels best for you.
Can I exercise while wearing an EvraCare support?
Yes. EvraCare supports are designed for active wear with breathable materials to help manage heat and sweat.
Can I use a heating pad or electric blanket with magnetic therapy?
Avoid using a heating pad directly with magnetic supports or pads. An electric blanket over a magnetic mattress pad may reduce magnetic field effectiveness while it’s on; if needed, pre-warm and keep settings low.
What determines the effectiveness of a magnetic therapy product?
- Magnet size and number
- Polarity orientation and spacing
- Surface gauss at the body
- Distance to target tissues and wear consistency
What makes EvraCare products different?
- Thoughtful magnet layouts for field coverage and depth.
- Breathable, ergonomic materials for longer, more comfortable wear.
- Clear specs and guidance so you can use products effectively.
What professional background does EvraCare have?
EvraCare designs and manufactures wellness accessories with a focus on consistent magnetic fields, comfort, and usability.
How long do EvraCare magnets last?
Permanent magnets retain strength for many years under normal use. EvraCare backs magnet performance for the product’s life.
Where are EvraCare products made?
Manufactured in the USA and China, depending on the product line.
Will EvraCare magnetic therapy products work for me?
Many users report meaningful comfort. Individual results vary based on condition, fit, and consistency.
