Magnetic Bracelets: Types and Models for Pain Relief

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 also have been exposed to some of the benefits of wearing a magnetic bracelet. What you may not know is what the differences are between the various types.

There are variations, but basically bracelets can be categorized into a few different major categories. Below is an outline of the differences between those categories.

Magnetic bracelets can be made as singles, doubles, triples, or as a magnetic wraps.

Singles - Single bracelets are made from a single strand of bead. They can be either all magnetic beads, or magnetic beads with accent beads of some kind. They can be the claspless stretchy type, or be strung on non-stretchy material with a magnetic clasp.

Doubles - Doubles offer the opportunity to double the number of magnets. They are made with two strands of beads with a magnetic clasp.

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 are also called magnetic wraps or snakes, and can be used as a necklace or an anklet as well. Although varying sizes are available, they are typically 36 or 37 inches long. Instead of a clasp, they simply wrap around your arm, your neck, or your ankle, and use the magnets to hold together. Lariats are popular because of their unique look, and their versatility and strength.

Now that you're familiar with the basic types, you can better make your choice. Style and attractiveness are secondary to the therapy properties, unless you're buying strictly for fashion.

One more thought: when choosing magnetic bracelets, you want the strongest therapy advantages for pain relief that you can find. That means selecting the one with the largest number of strong magnets.
