US 2002/0002387 A1 · Noninvasive detection and activation of the lymphatic system in treating disease and alleviating pain

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for treating disease and alleviating pain associated with the lymphatic system in a living mammalian body. The method generally relates to a non-invasive method for alleviating a disorder associated with a portion of the lymphatic system, e.g., a lymph node in a living mammalian body, wherein the treatment involves lymphatic activation characterized by localized pulsations at the closest exterior body surface to the activated portion of the lymphatic system. The activation involves placing a stimulation source in physical contact with the closest exterior body surface. In addition, an opposing body surface with respect to the closest exterior body surface is contacted simultaneously with the stimulation source. The stimulation source transfers energy to the affected portion until the localized pulsations substantially subside and/or lymph obstruction is substantially eliminated. This non-invasive method is particularly suited for pain relief and healing.

Dependent claims

A non-invasive method for alleviating a disorder associated with a lymph node in a living mammalian body, the method comprising:

(a) providing physical contact with a stimulation source simultaneously at the closest exterior body surface to the lymph node and at an opposing body surface with respect to the exterior body surface;
and
(b) transferring energy from the stimulation source to the closest exterior body surface so as to induce localized pulsations that characterize the activation of the lymph node.
