Magnetic Bracelets: Types and Models for Pain Relief
by Kurt Schmitt
If you've been paying attention to the news, you may have heard that magnetic bracelets are used primarily for hand, elbow, and wrist pain. You may also know that arthritis pain suffers have discovered them, and golfers have been wearing them for years. Some people wear them as a preventative measure.
You may have heard some of the benefits of wearing a magnetic bracelet, but what you may not know is how to choose from the various types. Let's look at the differences between the types so you better choose.
Although bracelets are made in different ways, there are a few different major styles based on construction. When shopping for bracelets, here are the main types you'll be looking at.
The basic types of magnetic bracelets are made as singles, doubles, triples, or lariats.
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 - Triple bracelets are made with three strands of beads and a magnetic clasp. They may have up to three times the number of magnets as a single.
Lariats - Magnetic lariats, also snakes or wraps can be used as a necklace or anklet as well. They are typically 36 or 37 inches long, and are clasp-less. They wrap around your neck, arm, or ankle, using the magnets to stay together. They are very versatile, strong, and popular.
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.
