1. An apparatus for therapeutic treatment comprising:
- a generator unit for providing alternating current;
a control means, in electrical connection with said generator unit, for receiving as input alternating current from the generator unit and for providing electrical signals as output;
said electrical signals being multi-rhythmic pulsed alternating signals at a frequency in a range of 0.5 Hz to 25 Hz; and
one or more applicator coils, in electrical connection with said control means, for converting the electrical signals to magnetic fields.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for therapeutic treatment wherein pulsed, alternating current, electrical signals are applied to an applicator coil adjacent an area to be treated to produce multi-rhythmic, pulsed, alternating magnetic fields which have a therapeutic effect on the treated area. The frequency of the magnetic fields is in the range 0.5 Hz to 25 Hz and the waveform includes higher harmonics to approximate natural waveforms measured in the body, such as by an EEG.

10. A method of therapeutic treatment including the steps of:
-
locating one or more applicator coils adjacent an area to be treated; applying electrical signals having frequency, amplitude and pulse characteristics to said applicator coils so as to produce multi-rhythmic, pulsed, alternating magnetic fields in a vicinity of the coils; and adjusting the frequency, amplitude and pulse characteristics so as to produce a pulsating magnetic field having therapeutic effect in the area to be treated. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of therapeutic treatment including the steps of:
-
locating one or more applicator coils adjacent an area to be treated; applying electrical signals having frequency, amplitude and pulse characteristics to said applicator coils so as to produce multi-rhythmic, pulsed, alternating magnetic fields in a vicinity of the coils, wherein the step of applying electrical signals includes applying a sequence of signals, said sequence comprising applying signals having a 2 Hz frequency for 30 seconds followed by signals having a 4 Hz frequency for 60 seconds followed by having a 8 Hz frequency for 90 seconds followed by having a 12 Hz frequency for 120 seconds and repeating said sequence a plurality of times; and adjusting the frequency, amplitude and pulse characteristics so as to produce a pulsating magnetic field having therapeutic effect in the area to be treated.
