Magnet therapy appears to increase the rate of healing by secondary intention. According to studies, the result reveal substantial evidence demonstrating a beneficial effect of magnetic therapy on bone healing but mixed results on tendon and skin healing. Overall magnet therapy has been touted to promote the wound healing process with claims of decreased pain, accelerated healing time, and increased scar strength. Since it is categorized in the alternative medicine category, no definitive claims can be made. However the benefits outlined by some of these studies have been observed in our patients that have acquired the therapy.
