Stimuli such as “hitting”, “hitting”, “relaxing”, “shaking”, and “massaging” can be applied.

In this warm pulse magnetic therapy device 1,
When the adhesiveness of the conductive adhesive 4 has deteriorated, it can be replaced with a new conductive adhesive. After use, the heating element 3 can be removed and replaced with a new heating element 3.

According to the heat pulse magnetic therapy device 1, magnetism, pulse current and heat can be simultaneously applied to the affected part, and the synergistic effects thereof promote blood circulation, stiff shoulders, numbness of limbs, Treatment of muscle pain, neuralgia, etc. can be performed. Further, the thermal pulse magnetic therapy device 1 has a small and simple structure and does not require an AC power source, so that it can be used both indoors and outdoors, and is easy to handle.
Excellent transportability and portability. Further, the heating pulse magnetic therapy device 1 is provided with a heating element 3 according to the purpose of use, purpose of use, affected part, etc.
Can be exchanged, which is extremely convenient.

(Embodiment 2) The thermal pulse magnetic therapy apparatus of the second embodiment is the same as the thermal pulse magnetic therapy apparatus 1 of the first embodiment except that the heating element 3 in the first embodiment is changed to the following heating element. is there. Therefore, the thermal pulse magnetic therapy apparatus according to the second embodiment has substantially the same operation and effect as the thermal pulse magnetic therapy apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

In Example 2, the heating elements were wire mesh cages,
It has a disposable body warmer. The wire mesh basket has the same size and shape as the heat transfer container 3a in the first embodiment. The wire mesh basket is formed to be freely opened and closed. The disposable body warmer is formed in a donut shape, and is formed so as to be accommodated in the wire mesh basket.

The heating element according to the second embodiment can generate heat by shaking the disposable body warmer housed in the wire mesh basket together with the wire mesh basket. In the thermal pulse magnetic therapy device of the second embodiment,
The disposable body warmer may be replaced each time it is used.
