My mum bought me a magnet ball bracelet but lost the information pack.
I have elbow pain and don’t know which way to wear the bracelet
i.e. with the balls facing up or down. - Margaret Ronald

Hello,
To be perfectly honest, I don’t think it matters.

I am always very dubious when companies say things like this, wear the
bracelet with the balls on the top of the wrist to treat….., wear the
bracelet with the balls underneath the wrist to treat….. etc.

I have studies and gained qualifications in magnetic therapy and I have
never come across this theory. It seems very strange that whether the
magnets are on the top of the wrist or not it would make a difference to
the treatment.

The main things to be concerned with when using magnetic therapy is the
strength and amount of magnets you use and wear you use them.

Contrary to popular belief, a bracelet worn on the wrist is only going to
help with the wrist, hand and arm, if it is of a high strength it can also
help with the elbow.

Magnets need to be of a strength of at least 800 gauss as a minimum. The
more pain you are in the higher strength of magnet you will need.

Also you need to get magnets as close to the point of pain as possible so,
a high strength bracelet will help with the elbow, but if it isn’t high
stregth then you will need to get the magnets closer, you could use an
elbow strap for example. Similarly, necklaces for neck pain, back belts
for back pain, insoles for foot pain and so on.
