Subject: Magnetic therapy?
Has anyone found magnets to be helpful or are they just a rip off? Right now Im willing to try anything but am wary of all the alternative treatments that are on offer.

I have tried them without much help. Have a look at the "interesting arthritis articles" question on this page for information re.alternative treatments.

I tried the high magnetic coin type magnets on my back when I was 1st diagnosed with OA of the spine. I thought they were working at 1st but honestly didn't really notice any major difference also I think there can be the placebo effect where we want them to work. I think they have to be a high ' gauss ' or something like that.
