The present invention relates to a chair for treatment, and more particularly, a laser treatment function for embedding a low power laser diode or a high brightness light emitting diode in the chair itself to facilitate the treatment of body parts while a person is sitting in a home or office of a company. It relates to a chair provided and a laser treatment method using the same.

In general, photo-chemical action on plants can be seen in carbon assimilation. When light is irradiated on living organisms, it is known that ATP is produced by the optical action to activate cells. In other words, when the laser light is irradiated to the living body with low energy that does not damage the living cells, it is effective to activate the physiological function of the living body and enhance the natural healing power of the affected area. Experiences in laser surgery have been well known in the medical field.

Internationally recognized Low Level Laser Therapy, which stimulates nerve cells and DNA through weak laser light and leads to various clinical changes, has been developed and started to be used in various diseases. Irradiation of laser light can help promote hair formation with the Bio Stimulation Effect, which produces capillaries and increases the activity of nerve cells.

The biochemical action of light is determined by the wavelength, polarization, and intensity of light. According to experiments, light having energy of about 100 μs as the polarization in the range of 600 μm to 1000 μm is known to be the most effective.

Such light can be generated by using a He-Ne laser, a semiconductor laser, or a YAG laser. Especially, in terms of size and price, semiconductor lasers are advantageous, and now GaAs (904 nm), GaAlAs (780-870 nm), InGaAlP (630) are generated. 685 nm) is mainly developed and sold.

On the other hand, LEDT (Light Emitting Diode Therapy), a treatment using high-brightness light emitting diodes in addition to low-power AZER treatment, does not generate much heat during operation, and its wavelength can be precisely controlled and wide beams can be maintained for photodynamic therapy research. As it is efficiently used, the projection of light emitting diode light to human body raises the energy inside the cell, activating human tissue and producing various clinical effects, which is “using low-power monochromatic light that stimulates human self-healing ability. As a light therapy, it has fast wound healing ability and cell regeneration function, which is effectively applied to hair growth.

Since LEDs are not coherent light such as laser light, they can't focus the beam width to some extent and are not polarized, but they can produce light in the 600 ~ 1000㎛ area and guarantee the intensity of 100 ㎽ / ㎝. If you can, you get almost the same effect as using a semiconductor laser.

Currently, the most widespread use of LLLT therapy is to treat various kinds of pain. For example, Professor Plague of Canada, He-Ne laser light acupuncture (special laser vascular needle), injects laser into blood vessels to help blood circulation and remove unnecessary substances from blood. It was. It is the first gas laser, He-Ne laser. Red visible light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm is widely used for basic optical experiments such as interference, diffraction, and refraction, and for the production of holography. Various products are commercially available. The medium of the He-Ne laser is a mixture of helium (He) and neon (Ne), and helium acts as a medium to excite the neon, and the actual oscillation is made from the neon gas. I use it as a treatment device.

Currently, not only acupuncture points, but also directly irradiated to the affected area, it is confirmed that a very high effect can be obtained not only in pain but also in healing the disease itself. In particular, LLLT is not only excellent for various chronic diseases known as refractory, but the treatment technology is inherently non-invasive (non-surgical), non-dosing, with little pain and no side effects, and no burden of medical expenses. It has the advantage of being extremely minimal compared to traditional treatment.

Meanwhile, with the development of the industry and the change of lifestyle, the time spent by modern people sitting on the chair is increasing, and accordingly, the influence of the shape and function of the chair on the human body will be considerable. Nevertheless, the conventional chairs only serve to support a part of the human body, but rather have a problem of adversely affecting the human body such as back pain by deforming the human body, in particular, the lumbar spine. In order to compensate for this problem, chairs having many ergonomic structures have been developed and provided, but they are satisfied to support only a part of the human body more firmly. Users who use these chairs for a long time should exercise a gap to relieve the excessive force applied to the waist or to relieve fatigue.However, in order to do this exercise, it is necessary to get up from the chair to rotate or fold the waist to exercise. In some cases, it was not possible to relieve and accumulate back pain, causing severe pain and often developing into a single disease.

In general, if you work for a long time sitting in a chair in the office, the fatigue of the body and mind accumulate and feel tired, it is better to release the body and body fatigue immediately. However, the movement to the place where the exercise equipment is installed has a problem that it takes a lot of time and costs.
