Abstract

Apparatus and methods for simultaneously providing an infra-red laser beam and a concentrated uni-polar, pulsed electromagnetic field to a region of interest in the body of a patient are disclosed. The apparatus produces the infrared laser beam from a laser diode and the pulsed electromagnetic field from an electrically conductive coil. The infra-red laser beam and the pulsed electromagnetic field are produced concurrently along a common axis. A focusing magnet is provided to concentrate the lines of flux so that they extend along the laser beam. The apparatus includes a body of Mu-metal shielding surrounding the components of the apparatus except for one pole of the coil from which the lines of flux of the electromagnetic field extend to further concentrate the field and render it effectively uni-polar.

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A method of treating medical condition of a patient by applying an infra-red laser beam and a pulsed electromagnetic magnetic field to an anatomic region of interest in the body of the patient, said method comprising:

a) providing apparatus for producing an infra-red laser beam and a concentrated pulsed electromagnetic field along a common axis;

b) disposing said apparatus adjacent the region of interest in the body of the patient; and

c) operating said apparatus to concurrently produce an infra-red laser beam and a concentrated pulsed electromagnetic field along a common axis and directing said infra-red laser beam and concentrated pulsed electromagnetic field to said anatomic region of interest.

18. The method of claim 17 said infra-red laser beam is pulsed at a frequency in the range of 50,000 Hz to 100,000 Hz and wherein the power of said laser beam is ranging from 25 to 50 watts.
