Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable micro-

The present invention relates to a portable micro-current therapy device, and more particularly, to a portable micro-current therapy device, which can be worn on a portable body and can be easily detached and attached to any part of the body. To a portable micro-current therapy device configured to be capable of treating a painful area and a lesioned area.

The method of managing the pain by giving electric stimulation to the body has been widely used in medical field for a long time. Especially, the low-frequency physiotherapy device has become one of the electric therapy devices which can be easily purchased and used by anyone in the market.

Such conventional electric therapy apparatuses include electric stimulation therapy (EST), transcutaneous nerve electrical stimulation therapy (TENS), and high pressure pulse therapy (HVPC) To stimulate a specific part of the body.

Therefore, in the conventional electric therapy apparatus, the current applied to the body is supplied in a high current (mA), so that most of the users can sufficiently feel the stimulation applied to the body during use.

As a result, users who use the conventional electric therapy apparatus have a psychological state that they are treated through electric stimulation applied to the skin, and stimuli applied to the skin of the body due to the high current (mA) supplied from the electric therapy apparatus It was also a situation where the user was reluctant to use or was unable to use it at all.

On the other hand, it is known that bioelectricity in the range of about 40 ~ 60 ㎂ is generated in the process of intercellular substance transfer to the human body.

That is, electricity is generated in the process of continuously reversing the anion electrode-like materials such as sodium, potassium, calcium and the like such as cations and chlorine through the cell membrane, and this bioelectricity promotes cell function and intercellular signal- It has been known that it can regenerate injured tissue, secretes various hormones and neurotransmitters, kills various bacteria and viruses penetrating the inside of the human body, and has been actively studied .

For example, Dr. Steven Kalli, of the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York in 1990, announced that the flow of microcurrents of 50-100 μA into blood and AIDS-containing culture plates would not survive the AIDS virus , The research and development of a therapeutic apparatus using microcurrents has become rapid.

The micro-current generated from the human body is not generated by the body for two days after the trauma or injury, but the micro-current is about several tens of micro amperes (㎂ ) To several hundreds of microamperes (μA). When these microcurrents are applied to the human body from the outside, the current of the injured tissue is increased by supplementing the bioelectric current in the human body, It is known to heal wounds, alleviate pain, affect electrical stimulation of muscles, changes in metabolism, and changes in blood vessels.

However, the conventional electric therapy apparatus using low frequency has a risk of inhibiting or stopping the physiological activity of the human body due to strong stimulation using a high voltage and a current of several milliamperes (㎃).

In addition, the conventional low-frequency therapy device is inconvenient to use because it attaches or uses the electric pad to a specific part of the body while connecting the body of the treatment device to an external power source or carrying it.

1, the conventional low-frequency therapy apparatus is heavy in weight and inconvenient to carry, even though it is developed as a portable type, as shown in FIG. 1, and since the power source line is used while being connected to the main body, There were restrictions, and the price was so high that the economic burden was generated when purchasing.

On the other hand, in order to solve the inconvenience of the wired line in the conventional low frequency treatment apparatus, a wireless type treatment apparatus has appeared.

However, in the conventional radio-frequency low-frequency electric therapy apparatus, a body attachment portion to be attached to a body is provided with a low frequency generator, an electrode plate, a frequency generator, etc., It has been very limited in its use for attachment to the body.
