Hey link you're in the UK, right? If so, in the US they're called medical magnets, but I think they are the same kind you find in stereos - neodymium magnets I think.
For a long time I used a pad with about 20 small neodymiun magnets for back pain, worked wonders! I couldn't sleep w/o it. I think the magnets were maybe 5,000 gauss each.
I've had shoe insoles - the expensive ones work. I have two very small about peas sized magnets that are 5,000 guass each (I think), and once I made the mistake of messing around and trying to clip one on the front of my ear and one on the back, BIG mistake! I also have two quarter sized magnets,they are so strong that if I put them together it takes all my strength and something strong to pry them apart. I think those are 15,000 gauss.
Our vet sells Nikken magnets. They are good magnets, you can count on their quality, but they're expensive, and if anyone's interested, you don't have to pay that much.
Some ppl are skeptical, but I say don't knock it till you've tried it. I haven't tried the head thing though.
