ABSTRACT:
A magnetic therapeutic device including a flexible elasticized loop-type fabric band or belt having a buckle loop at one end and a hook-type fastening element (VELCRO) at the other end thereof for securing the band or belt around the to-be-treated portion of a user's body, one or more magnetizable stainless steel C-shaped clips slidably mounted for adjustable positioning on the band or belt, each clip having at least one recess for magnetically holding at least one small high-intensity permanent magnet therein. The clips, which actually increase and enhance the intensity and penetration of the magnetic field emanating from the magnet or magnets, may be moved along the band or belt easily, even when already being worn, to direct the magnetic energy into the human or animal body to the area where pain alleviation or healing is required; and the number and distribution of clips or magnets on the band or belt may be increased and assembled closely for more concentrated, deeper magnetic force penetration, or reduced and spread out for milder, more gentle magneticc therapy.
