First Claim
Patent Images
1. A collar for providing electromagnetic field therapy to a cervical region, comprising:
- a neck band having an approximately semicircular top profile with two ends, for placement around the back of a human neck;
two chest straps, each strap attached at a first end to an end of the neck band;
an electrical circuitry housing attached between the second ends of said chest straps, wherein the attachment of each chest strap is along a side of the housing, such that the housing is substantially fixed relative to the chest straps;
electrical circuitry contained within said housing for generating an electrical drive signal; and
at least one transducer coil attached to said neck band for generating an electromagnetic field in response to said drive signal.

Abstract
A collar (100) for providing PEMF therapy for the cervical region of the spine. The collar (100) has a single transducer coil (104) and requires no secondary coil. The electronics for driving the coil are contained in a housing (101) that is integral to the collar 100. The housing (101) may also contain a battery for powering the coil (104), whose power usage is sufficiently reduced so as to require only a small battery.
