Method And Apparatus For Therapeutic Treatment Of Inflammation And Pain With Low Flux Density, Static Electro-Magnetic Fields

US Patent:
2006012, Jun 15, 2006
Filed:
Nov 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/289395
Inventors:
Glenn Venza - Riverdale NJ, US
Gerard Malady - Fort Lee NJ, US
Robert Sylvester - River Edge NJ, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
600013000
Abstract:
A portable Static Electro Magnetic Field (SEMF) generating device and method for the therapeutic treatment of inflammatory and painful disorders of the human limbs including fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, toes, feet and ankles preferably includes a wearable, portable battery powered solenoid or coil. The coil is configured to focus a substantially time invariant magnetic flux field onto a selected part of the body. The SEMF generating device's coil, when energized, works by slightly changing the charges associated with voltage-dependant ion channels in the cell membranes of the human body, thereby stabilizing abnormal fluid transport into the cells through aquaporin channels and the sodium ions relating to them, treating inflammation and altering the flow of calcium, chloride and potassium ions through their respective neuronal ion channels and treating pain.
