Pain treatment is a critical socio-economic and health problem. Acute, chronic, and recurrent pain is common across all ages, cultures, and genders. It costs North Americans between $10,000 and $15,000 annually. The estimated cost of pain does not include the roughly 30,000 deaths each year from aspirin-induced gastric lesion.17% of Americans over 15 are affected by chronic pain that interrupts their daily activities.

According to studies, at least one in four North Americans suffers from pain at some time. The medical community is crucial in providing treatment for this large number of people who are suffering from pain. You can go to www.sheldonwellness.com/services/magnetic-field-therapy/, to know more about magnetic pulse therapy.

It is difficult to know how pain can be relieved. This depends on where it is coming from and whether it is chronic or acute. Complex pain mechanisms have both peripheral and central nervous systems aspects. The individual pain process should be treated individually. How pain feels and whether it becomes chronic can be influenced by psychological issues.

The perception of pain can be affected by magnetic fields in many ways. These effects can be both indirect and direct. Magnetic fields have direct effects on neuron firing, calcium movement, membrane potential, and dopamine levels. They also affect nerve regeneration, nerve stimulation, acupuncture, and nitric oxide levels. Magnetic fields have indirect benefits on physiological function, including circulation, muscle, edema, and tissue oxygenation.

The majority of pain research uses subjective measures to determine baseline and final values. Subjective perception of pain using pain images and visual analog scales (VAS), is 95% sensitive. It is 88% specific for pain in the neck, shoulders, and thoracic spine.
