Trion-Z bracelets

Give it a try. If it works for you wheres the problem.
No idea if there's any substance to the manufacturer claims, but then there's no substance in the claims that the latest ball or club will improve your game, but that does'nt stop everyone on here spending their cash in the faint hope that they will be suddenly transformed into a golfing god.

I've seen this type of thing on fuel lines on cars, aligns the molecular particles in the fuel so it burns cleaner - petrol seems to have been burning fine for the last 100 years so I don't think a magnet is going to improve anything. Got a sore shoulder, see a physio.

Oh, and think of this, if you do suffer from some sort of joint pain, don't you think medical advice would be better sort instead of wearing a bracelet which could exsasipate things in the future?

I've have one but not worn it for a while.
I got it in the hopes that it could do something for the tendonitis - physios were b* useless, though chances are there's not a lot they can do.

Don't think it did a thing for me except leave a double groove in my wrist - better than the green stripe from the copper one.

I have suffered from tennis elbow for years,and have recently seen a specialist doctor,who told me it is chronic,but there is little that can be done.Could have an operation or cortison injections but have heard mixed reports.

Basically resting the elbow is only long term cure,and not doing the things that caused problem in the first place.Pruning,painting and screwing(no not that type!).Anything that is repetitive and involves turning the elbow.My tennis days are numbered but fortunately does not affect my golf,unless i hit a bad shot,and need an excuse!

People are very quick to dismiss something if they dont agree with it. I'm not saying that the Trion-Z bracelets work or they dont work nor am I going to get involved in the theory behind them, all I want to point out is that people should be more open about trying things before poo-pooing them altogether.

As I have stated before I fractured my wrist playing 5-a-side football many many moons ago and I just thought that I had sprained it at the time and didnt go to the hospital for about 2 weeks by which time it was too late to do anything other than let it heal itself.

I had pain for months and months and spent a fortume on physio and ultra-sound treatments, excercise etc to strengthen the wrist. All of which didnt work.

During one of these sessions I was seen by an old baldy man, big build, who quite frankly looked as though he was just out of prison, scar on his chin, tattoos everywhere on his arms and neck etc. Anyway he asked how long I had been injured and having pain, I replied months. He asked if I had ever tried acupuncture and I said no, poo-pooing it immediately.

When pointed out that I had spent hundreds of ££££ on physio which wasnt working why not give it a try "what had I got to lose?" I got a number and a contact off of this guy and booked a session. If I'm being honest I even considered not going after booking it.

Anyway to cut a long story boring I went for the acupuncture and had a series of little pins inserted into my wrist and a few into the back of my neck. I immediately could feel a huge heat build up in my wrist and after the session I had much more movement and no pain in my wrist.

Mumbojumbo nonsense? Maybe; but it worked for me and I would go for acupuncture again.

If it works use it and believe in it thats to tuppence worth!

This is a spurious argument, craw, old chap. Acupuncture and magnets are not the same.

Acupuncture works for some people for certain procedures/diseases. There is abundant empirical evidence for this, although there is no evidence that it is due to meridians. Instead, it probably works due to something called pain gate theory. This is plausible science and sits comfortably with modern scientific beliefs.

Magnets and homeopathy, however, are a different matter. There is no evidence empirically that these work, in fact there is plenty of evidence they do not work better than placebo. Placebo is more complicated that "all in your head", by the way. The purported scientific explanations behind both of these are nonsense or in the case of homeopathy run counter to everything we know in science.

craw, acupuncture is a world away from trion-z. I've tried both, though for different things.
acupuncture worked, partially. didn't do a thing for the migraine but helped on a painful joint, at different times.
trion-z as I said did nothing for the tendonitis but I played better when I dug it out again yesterday.
