Many of us know about Polio. Across the world, many countries are trying at their best to prevent Polio from hampering their future. Some year back Polio was very common worldwide. Huge number of children suffered from this Polio epidemic. Each country organized strong inoculation to prevent Polio from spreading. These strong efforts against Polio resulted in decreasing number of Polio affected countries. Now days Polio incidences are very rare and limited to some countries only. And world has declared war against Polio for its complete eradication.

Polio affects basically children's of any age group. This disease is not restricted to specific gender, age, location, or any country. Yearly almost one thousand children's gets affected with Polio across the world. Today Polio vaccination is being done regularly. This vaccination was developed by a research group of Boston's Children's Hospital, in year 1950. This first vaccine was used to introduce in body by injections. In 1961 Albert Sabin developed oral vaccine. In following year world Government's used this vaccine against Polio outbreak. And since then each country is using this oral vaccine to eliminate Polio completely.

Science is researching more healing therapies for post Polio treatment. And in this Magnet therapy have proved more effective than other therapies. Polio known as infantile paralysis creates disturbances in stimulating signals of muscular nervous system especially muscles of limbs and legs. Polio affects severely to the reflex system of these muscles. Hence the muscles get weakened extremely and result is restriction on physical activity.

The major problem with polio patients is their post polio management. Once Polio has passed its final stage, an affected individual becomes completely handicapped and suffers unbearable pains. In the magnetic therapy therapist sets magnets on both sides of the affected region. Due to their strong magnetic field the electric pulses flow rapidly and there effectively also gets increases. This results in extra stimulation of the particular muscles forcing them to make movements. This magnetic therapy also reduces the pains related to post-polio syndrome.

Since our body regulates electric signals, when magnetic field is applied, scientists have seen increases in these electric pulses. In this treatment therapist uses placebo magnets on the trigger points. These placebo magnets come incorporated with magnet cushions, magnetic mattresses, magnetic belts etc. Patient can use this and other products as per his convenience. One can also use magnetic water as an alternative for painkillers. In many ways magnets are helpful, and this therapy as it is natural, doesn't have any side effects.
