Neo-Flex™ Neodymium Magnetic Insoles
Developed by a group of leading health professionals, Neo-Flex magnetic insoles use very powerful 13,500 gauss neodymium magnets to relieve severe foot discomfort from diabetic foot neuropathy and more serious foot conditions. The high-energy magnetic fields penetrate completely through the foot and into the ankle, helping to reduce inflammation and nerve-related symptoms, like sharp pains, burning, tingling and numbness. In addition to foot neuropathy pain relief, Neo-Flex insoles provide significant relief of discomfort from:

Neo-Flex magnetic insoles use podiatrist-recommended Microcell® foam to provide superior comfort for sensitive feet. This "skin-soft" foam molds to the unique shape of your foot to redistribute pressure from sensitive areas - like the heel, toes, and ball of the foot. Underneath, a urethane base absorbs shock beneath the heel, and cushions every step you take.
Ergonomically designed with arch support and a heel cup, Neo-Flex insoles help re-align the foot and ankle to their natural position. This reduces strain on the bottom of the foot that contributes to plantar fasciitis pain, and minimizes stress on the heel and ball of the foot. Neo-Flex magnetic insoles fit inside sneakers, casual shoes, work boots, and orthopedic shoes with additional depth. They're made to replace existing shoe inserts.

Customer Testimonials
After three days I began to notice that the pain was getting less and less until one morning there was NO PAIN whatsoever and other changes began to work in my left foot which had suffered a pinched nerve after installing a whole new knee. My feet, which had become abnormally swollen also began to get back to normal.

Related Research
In 2003, a double-blind study tested 375 patients with symptomatic diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Patients were randomly assigned to wear magnetic insoles or sham insoles for a period of 4 months. Results showed that patients wearing magnetic insoles had significant reductions in burning, numbness, tingling, and exercise-induced foot pain over time. The researchers found that strong static magnets appear to affect nerve signals.

For a Proper Fit
If the insoles are too large to fit properly, use a pair of scissors to carefully trim around the edges. Only trim around the front section of each insole, from the widest point towards the toe area. DO NOT trim the heel section.
We recommend cutting only a small amount at a time (about 1/16" to 1/8"). Check for a proper fit after each cut. Be careful not to trim too much, or you may cut into the magnets. You can pinch the insoles to feel where the magnets are.
CAUTION:
- Do not use magnetic therapy if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or any other electro-medical device.
- Do not use magnetic therapy if you are pregnant.
- Do not use magnets near open or bleeding wounds
- Wait at least 2 weeks after a cortisone injection before using magnetic therapy over the same body area. (Cortisone and biomagnetics are antagonistic.)
- Magnets should not be used near transdermal drug patches.
- Do not wear magnetic products while swimming, bathing, or showering. (Magnets can rust.)
