Abstract
A magnetic coil system for the treatment of foot pain which has an electrical pulse generator sequentially connected to three separate magnetic coils that have been placed around that patient's foot. The magnetic coil system consisting of one bottom coil, one coil on top of the foot and a third coil that is situated around the back of the foot and the bottom of the ankle. The three coils being separately and sequentially activated by the electrical pulse generator. The treatment of plantar fasciitis being accomplished by the activation of a series of intense magnetic pulsations using only the bottom coil.
Claims12
A magnetic coil and pulse generator system for eliminating or reducing foot pain or both foot and ankle pain of a patient, the system comprising:
- an electrical pulse generator for producing a series of electrical current pulses having a peak current pulse amplitude of between 500 to 10,000 Amperes;
- and
- a magnetic coil system consisting of three separate magnetic coils including a substantially planar and ovally contoured first coil configured to be contiguous to and positioned under a foot of the patient, a second coil configured to extend over and be contiguous to a top of the foot of the patient, and a third coil configured to be contiguous to and positioned on opposing sides of a lower portion of an ankle of the patient, the electrical pulse generator being electrically and successively connected to the magnetic coil system, the three magnetic coils being sequentially energized by said electrical pulse generator,
- wherein the magnetic coil and pulse generator system is configured to generate magnetic pulses within the foot and the lower portion of the ankle of the patient, said magnetic pulses having a peak amplitude of at least 0.3 Tesla, said magnetic pulses decreasing or eliminating pain experienced by the patient in the foot and lower portion of the ankle.
