A larger area like a hip, knee or lower back will require a larger magnetic treatment product. Multiple pain trigger points will require several magnetic products for simultaneous treatment as continuous use gives the best results. What makes magnets so attractive are their effectiveness, ease of use, low cost, durability and no side effects. Place the magnet or pad directly over the point of pain. It can be held in place with surgical tape, an elastic or cloth wrap, a Velcro band or even a bandaid.
Magnets are exceptionally safe and as such can be used as often as necessary.
Directly over the area of pain for localized treatment, removing them only when bathing. Most will find some relief in a few days, however, for a few it may take several weeks. If the above doesn't work, place them over referral points such as over the hip for a thigh or upper knee pain or over the lower back for hip pain. If these fail, try placing them over acupuncture points related to the pain area. For this type of treatment, several small magnets may be required.
