Abstract

A method and system for treating a patient to repair damaged tissue which includes exposing a selected area of bone marrow of a patient to ultrasound waves or ultra shock waves so that cells comprising stem cells, progenitor cells or macrophages are generated in the area of the bone marrow of the patient due to the ultrasound, converting the cells from the bone marrow of the patient and reducing the damaged tissue in the bone marrow of the patient by repairing the damaged tissue.

Claims

1. A method for treating a patient to repair damaged tissue which comprises:

(a) exposing a selected area of bone marrow of a patient to ultrasound waves or ultra shock waves so that cells comprising stem cells, progenitor cells or macrophages are generated in the area of the bone marrow of the patient due to the ultrasound;

(b) converting the cells from the bone marrow of the patient; and

(c) reducing the damaged tissue in the bone marrow of the patient by repairing the damaged tissue.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow in a trunk or extremity of the patient.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow in the rib of the patient.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow in a hip of the patient.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow in a shoulder of the patient.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow in a back of the patient.

7. The method of any one of claim 1 wherein the patient is a human.

8. The method of any one of claim 1 wherein the patient is an animal.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the area comprises the bone marrow of the head of the patient.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the area is the bone marrow in an extremity of the patient.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the bone marrow is in an arm or a leg.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein the area is the bone marrow in a trunk of the patient.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the bone marrow is a sternum or an iliac crest.

20. The method of claim 1 wherein the damaged tissue is repaired by increasing the cellular of the bone mar-row.

21. The method of claim 1 wherein the damaged tissue is repaired by reducing the fatty bone marrow.

22. The method of claim 1 wherein the damaged tissue is repaired by increasing the vascular of the bone marrow.

14. A system for activating stem cells, pluripotential cells, progenitor cells or macrophages which comprises:

(a) a device which provides ultrasound waves or shock waves to an area of bone marrow of a patient so as to generate cells comprising stem cells, pluripotent cells, progenitor cells, macrophages and mixtures thereof in the bone marrow;

(b) a converter device for converting the cells of the bone marrow of the patient to reduce the damaged tissue in the bone marrow of the patient.

16. The system of claim 16 wherein the bath is for an arm or a leg.

15. The system of claim 16 further comprising a fluid for transmitting the ultrasound waves.

17. A method for treating a patient to repair damaged tissue which comprises:

(a) selecting a area in the bone marrow of the patient to be exposed;

(b) exposing the selected area in the bone marrow of the patient to a physical treatment of the body selected from the group consisting of ultrasound waves, ultra shock waves, so that cells comprising stem cells, progenitor cells or macrophages are generated in the bone marrow of the patient such that the stem cells, progenitor cells or macrophages repair the damaged tissue in the area in the bone marrow of the patient so as to repair the damaged tissue.
