Accuband 12000 Gauss magnets instead of AP needles?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Have any of you tried Accuband magnets, taped to the AP Pts instead of

needle-AP? What is your assessment of their efficacy compared with

routine needle AP?

 

Accuband magnets come in various strengths, from 800 to 9000 gauss.

See: http://www.lhasaoms.com/acu_magnets-26-page.html

 

Recently, a 12000-gauss version has been added to the range. See:

My clinical experience of using Accuband magnets is limited, but I found the

6000 and 9000-gauss ones useful in a few (human) cases of chronic pain.

Also, I have used them with very good results (with needle-AP + owner-

applied TENS) in treating a few cases of peripheral nerve paralysis (facial,

radial + suprascapular) in hiorses.

 

Best regards,
