It is about.

In general, during the vacation period, many children are visiting with their parents for growth therapy. In addition, in order to treat pain, visit a clinic, etc., and receive medication or acupuncture. However, growth and pain treatment is inevitable because it is inevitable that most children are not able to go to the hospital treatment for growth treatment at the same time as the end of the vacation and pain treatment patients have to visit the medical center every time has a disadvantage. .

On the other hand, the growth treatment may be a method of stimulating the growth point located in the body using the drug treatment, exercise therapy, massage and saliva according to the drug prescription. Most of the growth treatment methods are performed together, and it is more important to stimulate the growth-related muscles through continuous exercise, or to directly stimulate the growth point with acupuncture if it is not available. Can be.

The method of stimulating the growth point was prescribed as a method of stimulating the growth point through acupuncture by visiting a clinic, but this is a one-off cost burden. In addition, due to the burden of cost, even if the patient directly grows and pain points treatment can not be accurately performed, there is a disadvantage that can not continue the proper treatment.

Applicant has developed and filed a 'growth point and pain point treatment device (Application No. 10-2004-0082896)' in order to prevent this disadvantage. According to this, the electrode is attached by attaching a plurality of electrodes detachably formed on the pad by remembering the location of the growth point and pain point which are directly or manually prescribed by the oriental medicine, and applying power to the pad to which the electrode is attached.
