[0095]

The low-frequency therapeutic device according to the present invention has an adjusting means for adjusting the cycle and strength in generating a pulse signal based on the information from the pressure sensor, and a memory for storing the information obtained from the pressure sensor. Equipped with means.
Therefore, by performing a finger pressure operation or a shoulder swing operation on the pressure sensor, it is possible to obtain pressure information corresponding to the operation. By treating the strength of the treatment pulse based on this pressure information, treatment with the same sensation as acupressure or shoulder tapping can be performed. If a specialized person such as an acupressure person applies acupressure to the pressure sensor and memorizes and stores the pattern, it is possible to further improve the therapeutic effect. Further, the same treatment can be performed by calling the stored intensity of the treatment pulse or the stored treatment pulse.

When the mode switching 4 of the present low-frequency treatment device is operated in the execution mode, the CPU 5 adjusts the strength of the low-frequency pulse based on the information obtained from the pressure sensor 1 and stored in the memory 6, and the CPU of FIG. A low frequency pulse pattern such as a-3 or b-3 is created and input to the pulse output circuit 7. The booster circuit 8 boosts the low frequency pulse output from the pulse output circuit 7 to a predetermined voltage and outputs it to the conductor 9 as a therapeutic low frequency pulse. When the mode switching 4 of the present low frequency treatment device is operated in the real time mode, the signal pressurized by the pressure sensor 1 is amplified by the amplifier 2 and
The signal is sampled by the / D converter 3, converted into a digital signal, and input to the CPU 5.
