Heh

Magnotherapy Dog collars

I had a very bad back and sciatica for about 6 months after years of being a courier. I tried physios, chiroprators, heat packs, ice packs, yoga, an inversion table(which i've still got); walking, baths. you name it!

NOthing really sorted me out until i came across magnotherapy. Someone recommended wearing a magnetic bracelet and using a magnetic healing pad directly on my back.I was very skeptical, but it worked! the pain subsided greatly within a few days and has almost disappeared altogether now after about 6 weeks. All you have to do is wear them, that's it. I spent a fortune on all the treatment leading up to this - no more.

Which means that i can live a normal life agin; which is superb. I wasn't able to get out on the bike for along time; but now it feels great. i I even play golf regularly now - no complaints.

Anyway, i know for a fact that magnotherapy is very good with dogs and cats too. There have been thousands of testimonials by owners (other than mine! - to back this up) - if dogs could talk, they would probably be on this forum talking about them! :-) Dylan(my KIng Charles) would be anyway :-)

Therefore, I would recommend this option to anyone. It worked for me.It would very probably sort your dog out too. I would rarther buy a collar for my dog that might help him, than just another collar that does nothing else but attach to a lead - put it that way.

Just thought i'd post this; if anyone is interested.

Has anyone else had any experience with magnotherapy?

All the best

David

yep and touch wood so far so good.
Also had to search around as most only went up to 65cm I needed larger and as a lot of giants get problems with aches n pains as they get older i def think their is a gap in the market 4 large dogs!

I thought about getting one of these for my last dog who had a lot of arthritis and elbow dysplacia, but my vet didn't rate them for conditions as severe as his were. I regret not giving it a go, so if a similar condition crops up again in the future I will proabably buy one then.

Maybe it would help my arthritis and weird achy insteps.

When I feel blue, I start breathing again

A friend of mine had a german shephard that she rescued a few years ago now she found her roaming around the field behind her house and was very lame she put food out for weeks until sheba gained enough confidence to actually come to the food while they were there,so on closer look they noticed a very angry sore on her hip they took her to the vets who xrayed and said the injuries looked as if she had been possibly thrown from a moving car, her hip was in a terrible state, anyway they got the hip going ok, but when she reached about 10 she began to walk lame again and the only option was to have a total hip replacement, by then she was about 12 and anesthetic was quite risky, she was on lots of meds but in winter she would be in a lot of pain ans she tried the magnetic collar and i couldnt believe the difference it literally took years off her, it was amazing it would definetly be an option for me if my dogs ever needed anything like that it got to be better than them taking so many drugs, and to make such a difference to sheba with an especially bad hip then its got to be worth having.

yep, i always use a collar on my oldies.

should use a bracelet more than i do for my back pain.

Ive used them on one of my dogs and my old cat.

I was advised not to leave them on for a full 24 hours at a time. Cant remember why not though.

Hi

Is great to read other positive feedback re the collars. Nice1 :-) I reckon most dogs should wear one, if only as a preventive measure(but i'm biased - seeing as i distribute them now as a hobby - i was that impressed with them).

Anyway, it is fine to wear the collars 24hrs a day as far as i know -- though it isn't a pre-requisite of healing. Some owners use magnetic pads that are placed under the dogs bed.
I keep my bracelet on 24/7 and feel great.

Alphadog, i would give a bracelet a go yes; it will very likely help your arthritis and feet. Is good for RSI and low enrgy too.
The only people who should stay clear of magnetic products is anyone who wears a pacemaker.

Gesic, if you need a larger dog vest i can get hold of one for you - just let me know.

I hope this reply hasn't sounded too salesy! Just trying to keep the discussion going/do some good.

Goodluck everyone.

Armadillo products look the best ive seen, all south facing magnets or something or other - though ive never used one

Hi James

Armadillo are ok yeah. Though i checked out their magnets and found that they're not as powerful as the Bioflow collars - which face South also.

I did quite a bit of research into it when i originally became interested in magnetic bracelets. There are alot of dodgy products out there, that is for sure. For instance, Boots do a magnetic therapy bracelet for £28 which uses the same power of magnet available in a bracelet from the poundshop! - ie pretty weak.

I found that Bioflow ones, although slightly more expensive than many, are very good. They've built up a massive customer base over the last 20yrs or so also; which has mainly be amassed word of mouth testimony (they don't advertise - other than by people like me, who have personally benefited from the product)

So be wary of what products you choose, that's all i'm saying. Ask someone who has tried them first.

Hope that helps

David

I dont know if stronger equals better though with the Armadillo being 1/2 the price of the Bioflow Its a good alternative, they also look to be very well made. Ive just googled the strenght of each
Armadillo rate at 2250 gauss
Bioflow rate at 1000 and 2000 Gauss.

I wouldnt touch the Boots things. If a pet place has dedicated itself to these - whichever, id go with their research rather that a high street beauty shop
