Definitions

  • the invention relates to a therapeutic treatment device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Therapeutic treatments using manual treatment techniques are well known.
  • the hands of the therapist exert tensile and compressive forces to relax the ligaments and muscles of the patient, which depending on the indication and treatment technique shows therapeutic effect, such as a mobilization of joints, better removal of body fluids such as lymph, improved circulation of tissues and organs and much more.
  • treatment techniques of this type have a local character, i. the therapeutic intervention by touch is always confined to a narrowly defined region of the body, although the effect of this therapeutic intervention may well radiate to the entire body of the patient, as is the case with osteopathic treatment techniques.
  • Kidney pain for example, is not always due to nephritis or kidney stones. It can also be the hip muscle, on which the kidney rises and falls around 600 times a day while breathing. If this muscle is cramped, for example due to crooked posture, respiration and kidney function are impaired.
  • osteopathic treatment techniques with targeted gentle pressure massage with the fingertips muscle spasms are resolved, ligaments stretched and Bonding and adhesions loosened. Good results are achieved, for example, in the case of back, knee and jaw pain, diarrhea and constipation, migraine and irregular symptoms, chronic sinus and bladder infections, hearing loss, tinnitus or even asthma.
  • the first functional circuit a frequency band of 31 Hz to 33 Hz
  • the second functional circuit a frequency band from 35.5 Hz to 37.5 Hz
  • the third functional circuit a frequency band from 40 Hz to 42.5 Hz
  • the fourth circuit a frequency band from 44.5 Hz to 46.5 Hz
  • the fifth functional circuit a frequency band from 49 Hz to 51 Hz
  • the sixth functional circuit a frequency band from 54 Hz to 56 Hz
  • the seventh function circle a Frenquenzband be assigned from 58.5 Hz to 60.5 Hz.
  • the aim of the invention is thus a therapeutic treatment device that uses the facts of different functional circuits and allows stimulation of individual functional circuits on their resonance frequencies. This object is achieved by the implementation of the measures according to claim 1.
  • Claim 1 provides for a therapeutic treatment device with a support surface for the patient, wherein below the support surface at least one sound body is attached, the sound waves having a frequency below 100 Hz generated, which are within predetermined, discrete frequency bands, and a control unit with multiple controls for Control of the at least one sound body is provided.
  • a first frequency band extends from 31 Hz to 33 Hz, a second frequency band from 35.5 Hz to 37.5 Hz, a third frequency band from 40 Hz to 42.5 Hz, a fourth frequency band from 44.5 Hz up to 46.5 Hz, a fifth frequency band from 49 Hz to 51 Hz, a sixth frequency band from 54 Hz to 56 Hz, and a seventh frequency band from 58.5 Hz to 60.5 Hz, one control element each being assigned to one of these discrete frequency bands and permitting its selection ,
  • the resonance frequencies of the functional circuits are the resonance frequencies of the functional circuits. If it is assumed that there are seven functional circuits, then seven frequency bands will be provided within each of which the resonance frequency of a functional circuit is located. Although physical systems have very sharply defined resonance frequencies, this is not the case with the biological function circuits in question, so here we are talking about frequency bands. In principle, it is assumed that due to this blurring of the resonance frequency, different frequencies within a frequency band are equally suitable for stimulating the respective functional circuit. Frequencies outside of this frequency band can no longer stimulate the corresponding functional circuit since they are too out of resonance with the relevant functional circuit in order to be therapeutically interesting. Depending on the therapeutic indication, one or more frequencies, preferably one after the other, are thus generated for a certain period of time and thus different functional circuits are treated.
  • a specialized device for the treatment of a particular functional circuit provides the reproduction of only one frequency.
  • the operating unit achieves easy operability of the at least one sound body, since the operator only has to actuate a control element, such as a push button, a switch or a selectable computer mouse selection field of a corresponding software program, so as to select a particular frequency band.
  • Claim 2 provides an advantageous embodiment of the treatment device to which exactly two sound bodies are provided as a result.
  • Claim 3 a be arranged below the support surface so that it comes to rest on the support surface below the pelvic region of the patient and the second below the chest area when a patient is supported.
  • the entire body of the patient can be optimally sonicated.
  • the operating unit is equipped with a control element for amplitude modulation of the sound waves of the at least one sound body.
  • the claims 5 to 8 provide that a sine wave generator and a pulse shaper are provided, wherein the pulse shaper converts the sine waves generated by the sine wave generator into a sawtooth, square wave, triangular wave or a pulsed wave.
  • the pulse shaper converts the sine waves generated by the sine wave generator into a sawtooth, square wave, triangular wave or a pulsed wave.
  • the at least one sound body of the treatment device according to the invention is driven approximately via a commercially available CD player, wherein the CD used contains audio frequencies within the above-specified frequency bands as audio information. Therefore claim 9 claims treatment devices with storage media for audio signals, such as CDs, wherein the audio signals substantially
