The staff of China Food and Drug Administration said that from the current situation, the magnetic field intensity is too small to achieve the expected therapeutic effect; However, excessive magnetic field intensity may have adverse effects on human body, such as dizziness and vomiting.

Yin Jin, a resident of spinal surgery in the Armed Police General Hospital, said that patients with cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis need to go to the hospital for specific examination and treatment. It's definitely not possible to do physical therapy at home alone.
"Early cervical spondylosis can be tried, and it is the right medicine, not the root cause. It is certainly unscientific to say that magnetic therapy can cure all diseases without taking medicine. Because it is credulous that merchants publicize' using magnetic therapy without taking medicine', the consequences are very serious, and patients should not be free when using magnetic therapy equipment.
