Problems with surgery:
• Long term problems with surgery
• Anesthesia risk with surgery
• Infection risk with surgery
Positive aspects of Magnetic Therapy:
• No invasive surgery required
• Faster healing
• Much lower cost*
* seldom covered by insurance at this time
Magnetic Therapy Treatment Of Spinal Injuries:
A 60-year-old male with bilateral “dropfoot” and over 30 years of back difficulties treated the right L4-5 disc herniation with extruded portion down spinal canal almost to S1. Clinical findings showed a profound weakness in the ankle and foot with the right being the weaker of the two. Patient also experienced numbness in ankles and feet and a great deal of lower back pain.
Results (after 170 hours of Magnetic treatment): MRI showed normally shaped and healthy disc without abnormal oozing (see accompanying MRI photos). Back pain significantly reduced after 80 hours of treatment and gone after 170 hours. No more “dropfoot”. Full strength of ankles and can walk on heels with secure, normal gait, even on uneven terrain. Patient still feels a slight tingling at tips of toes.

A 58-year-old male with severe “daggers” of pain in the right knee for many months, caused by spinal stenosis and foraminal stenosis, L2-L3 to L5-S1, with right L3-L4 predominating. Symptoms are unrelieved by Vicodin. The patient was told to have spinal surgery.
Results (after 60 hours of Magnetic Therapy): “For the first time in the last year, I was able to walk without any pain in the right knee . . . In the past, I would have a radiating pain all of the time.” – M.M., Los Angeles, California

Results (13 hours of treatment): Neck pain gone; cervical nerve root to fingers recovered: numbness and tingling gone.
4. Spinal - Chronic Back Pain:
Problem: “Chronic low back pain radiating to my right thigh for twelve years.” X-rays showed severe spondylosis at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. Only temporary relief was received from acupuncture, medications, herbs, massage and a magnetic belt.
Results (after 40 hours of Magnetic treatment): “My back improved about 75 percent and my body feels lighter.” - H.M. Kapaa, Hawaii.

A 44-year-old female with ruptured C6-C7 disc in her neck and “neck pain down my right arm . . . couldn’t sit, walk, or stand for any length of time . . . limited movement/turning of head.” Her surgeon recommended a disc operation and possible fusion.
