ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a magnetically therapeutic treatment device for treatment of biological tissue for the acceleration of a healing process in a damaged or in other ways diseased body area by the use of a magnetic device for providing a magnetic field in the immediate vicinity of said body area by the movement of a crystal member immediately above the magnetic device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A treatment device of such kind is known from the Danish utility model No. 95 00474 and the German utility model No. 296 21 571.6 where a magnetic device is placed adjacent to the body area that is to be treated, with a crystal is moved in smooth motions above the magnet by the therapist, an assistant or the patient himself.
This known magnetically therapeutic treatment device with crystals is inconvenient in practical use, since it is only possible to work with a few pieces at the time and because it can prove difficult to maintain the magnet and the crystal in a regular, uniform motion of movement over a period of time. Moreover, only a shorter duration of the treatment is available by this device as, in particular the crystal movements are particularly exhausting to perform over a longer period of time for the manipulator.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Moreover, many treatments are difficult to carry out by the patient alone. Hence, a therapist or an assistant is often needed in order to perform the treatment.
With this background it is the object of the invention to provide a magnetically therapeutic treatment device that overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks by the known devices of this kind.
The invention consists of a magnetically therapeutic treatment device of the initially mentioned kind, where a group of magnetic devices are annularly arranged in a magnet fixture, where the magnetic devices are equally distributed on a support plate, over which one or more crystals are rotatably arranged in a crystal holder that is connected to rotation means for rotation in a relative to the arrangement of the magnetic devices concentric motion.
By the use of a magnetic therapeutic treatment device according to the invention, a treatment of an area of the body can be performed without the aid of a helping assistant. This is turn means that areas that so far in practice have been impossible to treat are now reachable with a magnetically therapeutic treatment device according to the invention. Moreover, with the automatically rotating crystals it is possible to perform a treatment of a relatively long duration that up until now has not been possible in practise. In addition, the process of the treatment can easily be described and be reported since it is encompassed in the design of the magnetic device in the actual case.
