Q: My mother
has been diagnosed with sciatica. She has had physiotherapy
but this did
not alleviate the pain. She has shooting pains down her leg and complains of
pins and needles in her
feet. She has an appointment with a orthopaedic surgeon this month. Her Gp says the discs are
worn and the nerve has become trapped. Would a magnetic bracelet help the pain
and offer some relief?

A: Hello Christine,
Unfortunately a magnetic bracelet alone will not reduce your mum's pain. For
magnets to be most effective they have to be placed as close as possible to the
point of pain.
What your mum needs is a super strength back belt. You can view and buy if you
wish the product by clicking on the link below
