METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAGNETIC INDUCTION THERAPY
First Claim
1. A method of controlling magnetic induction therapy, comprising:
- positioning a first portion of a patient'"'"'s body relative to a housing such that a target nerve within the first portion of the body is in proximity to at least one conductive coil disposed within or along the housing;
increasing a current through the at least one coil to generate a magnetic field focused on the target nerve until conduction through the target nerve is detected; and
adjusting the current via a controller in communication with the at least one conductive coil.

Abstract
An energy emitting apparatus for providing a medical therapy includes one or more energy generators, a logic controller electrically connected to the one or more energy generators, and one or more sensors for detecting electric conduction in a target nerve that are connected to the logic controller. The one or more energy generators produce energy focused on the target nerve upon receiving a signal from the logic controller, and the energy is varied by the logic controller according to an input provided by the one or more sensors. In one embodiment, the energy emitting apparatus is an apparatus for magnetic induction therapy that includes one or more conductive coils disposed in an ergonomic housing that produce a magnetic field focused on the target nerve upon receiving an electric current from the logic controller based on an input provided by the one or more sensors.
