Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetically therapeutic treatment device for treatment of biological tissue for the acceleration of a heating process in a damaged or in other ways diseased body area by the use of a magnetic device for providing a magnetic field in the immediate vicinity of said body area by the movement of a crystal member immediately above the magnetic device, wherein a group of magnetic devices are annually arranged in a magnet fixture, where the magnetic devices are equally distributed on a support plate, over which one or more crystals are rotatably arranged in a crystal holder that is connected to rotation means for rotation in a relative to the arrangement of the magnetic devices concentric motion. By the use of a magnetic therapeutic treatment device according to the invention, a treatment of an area of the body can be performed without the aid of a helping assistant. This in turn means that areas that so far in practice have been impossible to treat are now reachable with a magnetically therapeutic treatment device according to the invention.

Claims

1. A magnetically therapeutic treatment device for treatment of biological tissue for the acceleration of a healing process in a damaged or in other ways diseased body area by the use of a magnetic device for providing a magnetic field in the immediate vicinity of said body area by the movement of a crystal member immediately above the magnetic device comprising a group of magnetic devices anuallarly arranged in a magnetic fixture, where the magnetic devices are equally distributed on a support plate, over which one or more crystals are rotatably arranged in a crystal holder that is connected to rotation means for rotation in a concentric motion relative to the arrangement of the magnetic devices.

2. A magnetically therapeutic treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the angular velocity and direction of the rotation of the crystal holder is variable.

3. A magnetically therapeutic treatment device according to claim 1, wherein each of the magnetic devices is disk shaped, and consists of radial directed permanent magnets with alternately the magnetic north and magnetic south end towards the center of the magnetic device.

4. A magnetically therapeutic treatment device according to claim 1, wherein the treatment device is suspended in a holder that comprises one or more swivel joints in order to position the treatment device relative to the body area to be treated.
