Abstract
An integrated magnetic pulsation device for the treatment of foot pain that utilizes an electrical pulse generator and a magnetic coil situated within the same enclosure. The device having the capability to have a patient's foot placed onto the top of a magnetic coil or under that magnetic coil to expose that patient's foot to a series of high intensity magnetic pulsations. The device also including a control panel that directs a patient as to how to utilize the device for the treatment of that patient's foot pain.
Claims19
A device for treatment of foot pain by application of a series of intense magnetic pulsations onto a patient's foot, the device comprising:
- an electrical pulse generator and a generally flat magnetic coil each placed within a single enclosure, the electrical pulse generator being capable of creating a series of electrical pulsations having a peak electrical current of at least 100 Amperes which electrical current pulses are placed into the generally flat magnetic coil to create a series of magnetic pulsations that have a maximum magnetic pulse amplitude of at least 0.3 Tesla, the device including a place where the patient's foot can be placed onto a top of the magnetic coil and a second place where the patient's foot can be placed into an opening under the coil to expose the top of the patient's foot to an underside portion of the magnetic coil, the device including a control panel that controls operation of the pulse generator and indicates to the patient how the patient treats himself or herself to ease foot pain.
A method for treatment of foot pain comprising:
- placing a patient's foot onto a magnetic coil that is electrically and mechanically connected to an electrical pulse generator;
- sending a series of magnetic pulses to the patient's foot for relief of said patient's foot pain;
- alternatively placing a second foot of the patient onto the magnetic coil;
- and
- sending a second series of magnetic pulses to the second foot of the patient for relief of said patient's foot pain;
- wherein the magnetic coil and electric pulse generator are placed on a floor;
- and
- the patient first places each foot successively onto a top of the magnetic coil for a treatment then successively places each foot into an opening under the coil for treatment of a top of the patient's feet.
A device for treatment of foot pain comprising:
- a casing having a lower section, a ledge section, and an upper section;
- an electrical pulse generator mounted in said casing;
- and
- a magnetic coil being mounted within said ledge section and adapted to be positioned adjacent a bottom of a patient's foot when said patient's foot is inserted into a first recess formed between said ledge section and said upper section of said casing.
