PEMF stimulator for treating osteoporosis and stimulating tissue growth
First Claim
1. A method for providing electromagnetic therapy to a patient for osteoporosis or stimulating tissue growth comprising:
- placing the patient in proximity to an electromagnetic therapy apparatus that comprises;
an electrical circuit for generating an electrical drive signal;
a first transducer coil and a second transducer coil for generating respective pulsed electromagnetic fields in response to the drive signal, the pulsed electromagnetic field generated by each transducer coil having a plurality of pulses, each pulse having a pulse period of approximately ten microseconds (10 μ
sec) to approximately twenty microseconds (20 μ
sec); and
a first portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair seat and a second portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair back, the first transducer coil disposed within the first portion and the second transducer coil disposed within the second portion;
stimulating a first portion of the patient with at least the pulsed electromagnetic field from the first transducer coil, the first portion of the patient located proximate to the portion of the therapy apparatus having a configuration corresponding generally with a chair seat; and
stimulating a second portion of the patient with at least the pulsed electromagnetic field from the second transducer coil, the second portion of the patient located proximate to the portion of the therapy apparatus having a configuration corresponding generally with a chair back.

Abstract
A method for providing electromagnetic therapy to a patient includes placing the patient in proximity to an electromagnetic therapy apparatus. The electromagnetic therapy apparatus includes an electrical circuit for generating an electrical drive signal, a first transducer coil and a second transducer coil for generating respective electromagnetic fields in response to the drive signal, a first portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair seat, and a second portion with a configuration corresponding generally with a chair back. The first transducer coil is disposed within the first portion and the second transducer coil is disposed within the second portion. The method further includes stimulating the patient with a pulsed electromagnetic field from at least the first and second transducer coils. The pulsed electromagnetic field having a number of pulses, each pulse having a pulse period of ten microseconds to twenty microseconds.
