Abstract

The present invention relates to the electromagnetic field physiotherapy and may be used for treating and preventing various diseases and disorders.

A portable apparatus for local integrated electromagnetic irradiation comprises a device for generating a light field with a combinable wavelength, an array of individual light sources with different wavelengths, a controllable magnetic field source including at least one coil and a core made of a ferromagnetic material and a device for controlling and combining the light and magnetic fields. The apparatus is mainly characterized in that the core of the magnetic field source is made magnetically closed from a rear side and is provided with a clearance in the region spatially combined with the light field, with the magnetic field controlling device being capable of generating a low-frequency pulsed magnetic field in the combined spatial region with an adjustable frequency in the range of 1-200 Hz and an amplitude in the range of 10-30 mT and having controlling inputs coupled to the controlling and combining device.
