Submersive therapy apparatus

A submersive therapy apparatus comprising:

• a tub having a floor, sides and an inner lining;
• an aqueous solution disposed within said tub;
• a multiple arrangement of electrodes housed around said sides and floor of said inner lining of said tub, said tub being of various shapes and sizes;
• an electrotherapy device for providing alternating positive and negative currents to said electrodes to be used in contact with said aqueous solution for physiotherapy or iontophoresis treatment;
• an ultrasound device for providing ultrasound treatment by an array of multiple ultrasound treatment heads disposed around said sides and floor of said inner lining of said tub,
• a magnetotherapy device for providing magnetotherapy by an array of magnetotherapy coils contained within said sides of said tub;
• said apparatus further including a microprocessor having a sensor read-out that measures impedance in a patient's skin, muscle, and fat tissues to assist a clinician in adjusting the necessary energy to be applied to said patient.

A submersive therapy apparatus comprising:

• a tub having a floor, casing walls and an inner lining:
• a fluid medium disposed within said tub;
• an array of magnetotherapy coils for generating a magnetic field when energized, said magnetotherapy coils contained within said casing walls of said tub with said magnetotherapy coils positioned perpendicularly with respect to a target area defined within said tub, said magnetotherapy coils consecutively distributed within said casing wall for simultaneously generating an electromagnetic field in said fluid medium;
• wherein said casing walls of said tub are composed of a magnetic shielding substrate material or composite material to create a "rebound effect" off said casing walls to increase the continuity of the magnetic field aimed toward a body treatment target area defined in said tub;
• and
• further including a microprocessor having a sensor read-out that measures impedance in a patient's skin, muscle and fat tissues to assist a clinician in adjusting the necessary energy to be applied to said patient.

A submersive therapy apparatus comprising:

• a tub having a floor, sides and an inner lining;
• an aqueous solution disposed within said tub;
• an array of multiple, movable ultrasound treatment heads disposed around said sides and floor of said inner lining of said tub, said tub being of various shapes and sizes, said ultrasound heads focusable at a desired angle and in contact with said aqueous solution;
• means for providing ultrasonic energy to said ultrasound treatment heads;
• and
• means for using at least one ultrasound and drug delivery treatment regimen as desired to an injured or diseased body member, said apparatus characterized by being versatile and compatible with commercially available ultrasound devices, said apparatus further including means for connecting an adapter console with male or female jack adapter to accommodate said commercially available ultrasound stimulation devices for the delivery of physiotherapy by acoustic energy.
