They are also said to interfere with muscle contractions, thus preventing muscle spasms, which are thought to be the underlying cause of many types of pain. Plus, magnets impede the ability of nerve cells to transmit pain messages to the brain. While over-the-counter pain relieving medications like aspirin can be used to control chronic pain, however, magnets do not have any risk of side effects. How are magnets for magnetic therapy chosen? Magnetic therapy magnets come in various strengths, sizes and shapes. And their prices range from $5 to up to $1000. It is recommended to begin by using one or more magnets, shaped like coins, made of neodymium-boron, a rare earth metal. These magnets are less expensive and work as well as other magnets for most conditions. The measurement of magnetism is done in gauss. For example, a magnet used in
