Abstract
The present disclosure provides a magnetic therapy device. The therapy device includes a body having a holding portion and a mounting portion. The holding portion is adapted to be held by a user for maneuvering the therapy device to access a treatment area on a skin of the user and the mounting portion is attached the holding portion. Further, the therapy device has at least one hollow pin mounted to the mounting portion. The at least one hollow pin encloses at least one magnet, with the magnetic field of the magnet extending outside of the hollow pin to impart magnetic flux onto a treatment area of a patient.
Claims17
A magnetic therapy device for treating a body part, comprising:
- a body including:
- a holding portion for gripping by a user's hand, and
- a mounting portion attached to the holding portion;
- and
- first, second and third pins attached to the mounting portion, the first, second and third pins extending away from the holding portion of the body, the first pin defining a first cavity, the second pin defining a second cavity, the third pin defining a third cavity;
- first, second and third magnets, the first magnet disposed within the first cavity of the first pin, the second magnet disposed within the second cavity of the second magnet, the third magnet disposed within the third cavity of the third pin.
A method of treating a body part with a magnetic field, the method comprising the steps of:
- touching two pins of a magnetic therapy device on a surface of a body part being treated;
- allowing two magnetic fields of two magnets of the two pins which intersect to penetrate a location of the surface of the body part being treated at the same time;
- and
- moving the intersecting magnetic field over the surface of the body part being treated.
