Qmagnet placements
Qmagnet Prescription for hip pain:
The first device is placed on the anterior/superior thigh centrally over the inguinal ligament and anterior hip joint capsule. The second device is placed laterally to the hip joint over the insertion of the Iliotibial band to the pelvis on the hip crease.
Physiologically: The steep field gradient generated by the Quadrapolar magnetic array closes leaking ion gates at the nerve cell membrane and returns abnormally firing nerves to a resting state. Therefore the centre of the Qmagnet needs to be placed over the irritated nerve (i.e. Lateral Femoral Cutaneous nerve) or innervated structure to maximize its physiological and clinical effects.
The third device is placed on the hip posteriorly over the piriformis tendon. A combination of all three devices is recommended.
Physiologically: The steep field gradient generated by the Quadrapolar magnetic array closes leaking ion gates at the nerve cell membrane and returns abnormally firing nerves to a resting state.
Therefore the centre of the Qmagnet needs to be placed over the irritated nerve (i.e. Superior Gluteal nerve) or innervated structure( Greater Trochanteric Bursitis, Anterior Hip Capsule) to maximize its physiological and clinical effects.
This placement varies individually. For localized pain, the Qmagnet may be placed over the area of discomfort (e.g. Adductor tendon, Quadricep muscle).
Physiologically: The steep field gradient generated by the Quadrapolar magnetic array closes leaking ion gates at the nerve cell membrane and returns abnormally firing nerves to a resting state. Therefore the centre of the Qmagnet needs to be placed over the irritated nerve (i.e. Obturator nerve) or innervated structure to maximize its physiological and clinical effects.
For musculoskeletal and sports injuries, place the devices approximately 25mm apart (1 inch) along the affected muscle(s)
Physiologically: The steep field gradient generated by the Quadrapolar magnetic array closes leaking ion gates at the nerve cell membrane and returns abnormally firing nerves to a resting state.
Therefore the centre of the Qmagnet needs to be placed over the irritated nerve (i.e. Femoral nerve) or innervated structure (Adductor tendon or Quadricep muscle belly) to maximize its physiological and clinical effects.
