Using Magnets to Speed up the Healing of Broken Bones

Sometimes bones fractures heal quite fast and sometimes they don't. Using magnets close to the break in the bone can speed up the healing process.

A theory is that sometimes the two broken ends will have the same magnetic pole. Both north or both south. Like poles repel each other.

And that using magnets close to the fracture will make one side of the fracture one polarity and the other side of the fracture the other polarity. Opposite poles attract one another.

I think this is just a theory - that no experiments have been done to prove or disprove it.

But for sure bones do heal faster using magnetic fields close to them. That has been proved. It was the FDA's first endorsement of using magnetic therapy - to use a magnetic device close to the fracture.
