Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to vertebrology, to devices for the treatment of diseases of the spine: osteochondrosis, vertebrogenic pain, as well as in case of posture disorders.

A device for the treatment of the spine, consisting of a base, the lower part of which is convex, with massage elements in the form of a pair of protrusions of a prismatic shape for correction of the thoracic and lumbar spine (patent RU No. 20033319, A61H 7/00, publ. 1993.30.11).

The disadvantage of this device is the low efficiency of treatment due to the point effect on certain areas of the vertebral joints through the nerve receptors of the skin.

The Putilin applicator is known, which includes plates such as plates with groups of needle-shaped elements easily attached to each other or fixed on a flexible base, in the form of alternating sharp-pointed needles and dull rods of varying heights. By alternating sharp needles and blunted rods of different heights, a multilevel and multidirectional effect on the nerve receptors of the skin is achieved (patent RU No. 2034526, А61Н 11/00, publ. 1995.05.10).

The disadvantage of this device is the low effectiveness of treatment, since the effect is through the nerve receptors of the skin.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed device is a device for the treatment and correction of the spine (patent RU No. 2110981, АНН 11/00, publ. 1998.05.20), adopted as a prototype, containing a base with massaging protrusions located on its upper part in the form of parallel semi-ellipsoidal ribs, the distance between which corresponds to the boundaries of the paravertebral region of the spine. On the upper faces of parallel ribs along their entire length is a series of protrusions.

The disadvantage of the prototype is the limited use, since it is intended for the treatment and correction of only the lower half of the thoracic and lumbar spine, and the device provides insufficient microcirculation in the tissues and the vertebral space.

The technical result of the invention is to increase the impact on all parts of the spine and increase microcirculation in the tissues and paravertebral space.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the device for the treatment and correction of the spine containing a base with parallel ribs located on its upper part, the distance between which corresponds to the boundaries of the paravertebral region of the spine, a cervical spine corrector is introduced, in which parallel ribs are made in the form of a semicircle repeating cervical lordosis of the spine, and in the corrector of the thoracic spine parallel ribs are made in the form of a concave parabola, repeating the shape of the piles kyphosis, in the corrector of the lumbar spine, the parallel ribs are made in the form of a convex parabola, repeating the shape of the lumbar lordosis, while the holes are made along the entire length of the parallel ribs of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine correctors in uniform parallel rows in which rods with rounded ends equal to heights.

Identified distinguishing features, as well as their relationship are not known at the filing date of the application.

The device for treatment and correction contains a base 1 in each corrector A, B, C, Figure 1, made of wood or plastic, parallel ribs 2 are located on the upper parts of the base 1, holes 3 are made in uniform parallel rows along the entire length of the parallel ribs 2, the recess 4 is made between parallel ribs 2, the width of which corresponds to the paravertebral region of the spine, in the holes 3 there are rods 5 with rounded ends, made of wood, because the tree is not allergic and not subject to oxidation. In the corrector of the cervical spine, Figure 4, parallel ribs 2 have the shape of a semicircle repeating cervical lordosis taking into account the correction of the cervical spine. In the corrector of the thoracic spine, Figure 5, parallel ribs 2 have the shape of a concave parabola, repeating the form of thoracic kyphosis of the spine taking into account the correction of the thoracic spine. In the corrector of the lumbar spine, Fig. 8, parallel ribs 2 are made in the form of a convex parabola, repeating the shape of the lumbar lordosis taking into account the correction of the lumbar spine. The height of the rods 5 with rounded ends is 10-15 mm, the diameter of each of them is 2.5-3.2 mm, the density of the rods is about 4 per cm ² , which provides a painless effect on the patient's skin and powerful microcirculation in muscle tissues. Corrector of the chest, Fig. 1, B and corrector of the lumbar, Fig. 1, C of the spine have 6 rows of 5 rods with rounded ends on each of the parallel ribs 2, since the width of the longitudinal back muscles is greater than the width of the muscles of the cervical spine, in corrector of the cervical spine, Figure 1, A rods 5 with rounded ends are located in 3 rows on each of the parallel ribs 2.

Treatment and correction of the spine is as follows. From a sitting position, the patient lies with his back on a device located as follows: the correctors of the thoracic region, Fig. 1, B and the lumbar region, Fig. 1, C of the spine are installed on a rigid horizontal surface, and the corrector of the cervical spine, Fig. 1, A is installed on a roller, for example a rolled towel, which is also mounted on a rigid horizontal surface so that the nape of the patient hangs in the air without touching the horizontal surface. The spinous processes of the vertebrae in this case appear in the recess 4 between the parallel ribs 2. Due to the weight of the patient's head in a relaxed state of the neck, a slight extension and correction of the cervical spine occurs. At the same time, tissue massage occurs due to the pressure of the core elements 5 with the rounded ends of the correctors A, B, C, Figure 1. At the points of contact of the patient’s body with the rod elements 5 with rounded ends, pressure is applied to the tissue, and a depression occurs between the rod elements 5 with the rounded ends. And this happens over the entire contact area of the patient’s skin with the rod elements 5 with rounded ends. Thus, there is a powerful microcirculation in the tissues and the paravertebral space, which provides a much more effective treatment for helicopteric diseases.

The extension and correction of the thoracic and lumbar spine occurs due to the parabolic shape of the parallel ribs 2, respectively, of the concave and convex forms of the corrector of the chest, Fig. 1, B and the corrector of the lumbar, Fig. 1, C of the spine.

The duration of one procedure is from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the pathology of the patient's spine. Number of sessions individually: 5-15.

The proposed device is suitable for mass production. Made a prototype. Correctors of the device can be used separately depending on the pathology of the patient’s spine, and with their simultaneous use, the therapeutic effect is carried out on all parts of the spine.

Using the proposed device is a relatively quick treatment of osteochondrosis due to the action of rod elements with rounded ends on the paravertebral region of the spine. In addition, the proposed device corrects scoliosis and minor lateral displacements of the vertebral bodies due to the presence of a recess between parallel ribs in 3 correctors of the corresponding parts of the spine. The proposed device of this configuration builds the spinous processes of the vertebral bodies in a straight line in the frontal plane.
