Fibrositis 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.
