Fracture Pain
What it is
Healing of a broken bone starts with the formation of a blood clot
at the fracture site. Protein fibres known as fibrin form, which align
themselves across the fracture site in a shape resembling a spindle
which is sensitive to the magnetic field present. Calcium ions are
then attracted to the fibrin and new bone formation builds up to form
a callus which is slowly strengthened and remodelled over the following
months.
A bone normally has a positive magnetic polarity at the end closest
to the centre of the body, and negative magnetic polarity at the end
furthest from the centre of the body.
This polarity is interrupted at the site of a fracture, however.
Self help measures:
Maintaining a good dietary intake of vitamins and minerals such as
calcium, vitamin D and vitamin C which are important for bone health.
Applying magnetic patches
Restoring the correct magnetic field at the edges of the fracture
hastens the healing process so that calcium ions can be laid down
more readily. Bone fractures are sometimes found to heal in half the
normal time when magnetic therapy is used.
Apply a magnet to either side of the bone fracture site. Magnetic patches can also be applied to acupuncture points over or near the site of pain, as shown in the following illustration. Select the points which most closely relate to the site of discomfort.
