Magnetic Bracelets and Pain Relief: Types and Models

By Kurt Schmitt | June 5, 2007

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 probably also know some of the benefits claimed by those who wear magnetic bracelets. What you may not understand are the differences between the various types offered for sale. In this article I’ll discuss some of the main types of bracelets so you’ll know what to look for.

There are variations, but basically bracelets can be categorized into a few different major categories. Below is an outline of the differences between those categories.

Magnetic bracelets can be made as singles, doubles, triples, or as a magnetic wraps.

Singles – Single bracelets are, like the name says, a single strand of bead. The beads can be either all magnetic, or magnetic with accent beads. They can be either the stretchy type, or non-stretchy with a magnetic clasp.

Doubles – Doubles offer the opportunity to double the number of magnets. They are made with two strands of beads with a magnetic clasp.

Triples – Triples 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 know the basic types, you can better make your choice. Keep in mind that style and attractiveness are secondary concerns unless you’re buying strictly for fashion.

One more thought: when choosing magnetic bracelets, you want the strongest therapy advantages for pain relief that you can find. That means selecting the one with the largest number of strong magnets.
