Type “magnetic therapy” into a search engine, and you’ll find many articles and studies telling you about the vast benefits of magnets for rehabilitation and healing. You’ll find just as many articles stating how and why magnetic therapy doesn’t work, while others will claim there isn’t enough information in the form of formal studies and experimental evidence to say whether it works or not. The studies that have been done have caused much discord among scientists, doctors, and veterinarians in recent years, with many practical arguments both for and against it. It is theorized that the body’s tissues may be affected in a number of different ways by the application of an accurate level of electrical current. Whether you believe it works or not, magnetic therapy is a technique that has been around for more than 2,000 years, and is setting a stage for itself as a viable, non-invasive, alternative therapy for use in equine injury rehabilitation.
