Magnetic Bracelets and Pain Relief: Types and Models
You may know by now that magnetic bracelets are used primarily for pain all up and down the arm. You probably also know that golfers and arthritis sufferers wear them, and some people wear them as a preventative measure.
You probably also know some of the benefits claimed by those who wear magnetic bracelets. What you may not understand are the differences between the various types offered for sale. In this article I'll discuss some of the main types of bracelets so you'll know what to look for.
There are variations, but basically bracelets can be categorized into a few different major categories. Below is an outline of the differences between those categories.
For the most part, magnetic bracelets can be made as singles, doubles, or triples. There are also magnetic lariats, also known as snakes or wraps. These can be used as either magnetic necklaces, anklets, or bracelets.
Singles - Single bracelets are a single strand of bead, strung on some type of line. They can be made of either all magnetic beads, or a combination of magnetic beads with accent beads of some kind. They can be either the stretchy type, or be non-stretchy with a magnetic clasp.
Doubles - Doubles are made of two strands of beads with a magnetic clasp, and give the opportunity to double the number of magnets. Doubles are normally chosen for either style, or their stronger therapy properties.
Triples - Triples are made of three strands and a magnetic clasp. These can be very powerful as they may have up to three times the number of magnets as a single.
Lariats - Magnetic lariats are also called wraps, or magnetic snake bracelets. Lariats can be used as an anklet, necklace or bracelet. They are most often seen in 36 or 37 inch lengths, and are clasp-less. They simply wrap around your wrist, neck, or ankle, and use the magnets to stay together. They are very popular because of their versatility, unique look, and number of magnets.
Now that you're familiar with the basic types of construction, you can better make your choice. Style and attractiveness, while important are secondary to the therapy properties. Obviously this is not the case if you're buying strictly for fashion.
Remember, when choosing magnetic bracelets for pain relief, you want the strongest therapy advantage you can get. You accomplish this by buying the one with the largest number of strong magnets.
