Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
magnetics can be safely used for stimulating the growth of epithelium over the wound. It also helps in improving the circulation in the area thus improving the chances of an early recovery. Usually such modalities are used in elderly fragile persons or in chronic ulcers for a faster and better healing.
It can be safely used at home for 15-20 minutes at a time as suggested by your physical therapist or physician.
