Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Thurso or Wick where you can buy those magnetic therapy bracelets?

Thanks

They have them at Argos and I have seen them in the chemists.

Is there an Argos in Thurso now? Would it be at the old mart? [lol]

You're obviously bored on your day off Jox. The poster did say Wick or Thurso.

I sent away for mine to North South Magnetics - http://cnb-host2.clickandbuild.com/cnb/shop/magnets4health

Couldn't find the magnetic ones in shops down here for less than £25-30!
Decided to try a cheap one to see if it worked and I have to say it has made a difference...

Smith's Chemist in Macarthur Street here in Wick sell them. I bought my one off ebay, saved about £20.

router,
I decided to give the bracelet a go after trying the magnetic patches for a painful shoulder joint.
It seems to work for me - shoulder pain is reduced vastly.

I see the placebo effect is alive and well...

George,
No placebo effect here. I had tried everything from pain killers, Ibuleve gel, Deep Heat, anti-inflammatories etc to try and relieve the pain in my shoulder joint. It was a last attempt to try and reduce the pain. The little magnet patches stopped the pain/discomfort within hours.

I mentioned this to a friend who used to work in a warehouse and his job involved moving heavy cages down a slope to a loading bay. He told me he suffered ankle pain but found that putting a couple of magnets inside his boot relieved the pain.

Millions of people wear copper bangles to help with arthritis and I was sceptical about what magnets could do. I tried it and it helps. I'd rather wear a magnetic bracelet than pop endless pain killers or anti-inflammatories. Placebo maybe, but I certainly wasn't imagining the pain in my shoulder joint...
