Tennis Elbow Braces --
with Magnets
Keep in mind two things about these braces.
First, the claims for how the physics of magnetic therapy work are questionable at best. For instance, some claim that the magnets pull more blood to the injury. However, magnets of this size are simply not powerful enough to attract blood cells (by pulling the iron in those cells). And if they were powerful enough, then that same power would hold the blood back from leaving that area, causing the blood to coagulate at the injury.
The second thing to think about is these braces with magnets offer as much compression as other braces. So if the magnets aren't effective, the braces are likely to work nevertheless. No harm in getting an otherwise effective brace.
Even though there are no credible studies demonstrating their efficacy, who knows for sure?
