Magnetic Bracelets: Types and Models for Pain Relief

By: Kurt Schmitt

By now, you probably know that magnetic bracelets are used for hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder pain. You may also have heard that golfers and arthritis sufferers wear them, and others 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.

Although there are variations within each type, there are a few different major categories based on construction. In deciding on which bracelet is the right one for you, there are several things to keep in mind.

The basic types of magnetic bracelets are made as singles, doubles, triples, or lariats.

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 are made of two strands of beads with a magnetic clasp, and give the opportunity to double the number of magnets. Doubles are normally chosen for either style, or their stronger therapy properties.

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 of construction, you can better make your choice. Style and attractiveness, while important are secondary to the therapy properties. Obviously this is not the case if you're buying strictly for fashion.

Remember, when choosing magnetic bracelets for pain relief, you want the strongest therapy advantage you can get. You accomplish this by buying the one with the largest number of strong magnets.
