- the CPU is connected to output supply circuits and to an output and insulation stage.
- the output supply circuits are also connected to the output and insulation stage in parallel to the CPU.
- the output and insulation stage is connected to patient outputs or electrodes.
- the CPU is also connected to a keyboard, which enables an operator to input information or vary the parameters and to displays which display the information that has been inputted and the progress of the process after it has been initiated.
- the CPU can also be connected to an ethernet interface which allows access to the world wide web to allow remote monitoring and/or control of the device.
- FIG 2 there is shown a front view of a device 2 for applying low level current to muscles of a patient user.
- a power cord for connecting the device to an AC power source is not shown in Figure 2 and is conventional.
- the device has an on/off switch 4 with a standby indicator lamp 6 and stimulator indicator lamp 8.
- An indicator light 14 is located between the intensity control buttons 10, 12.
- Near the front of the device 2 are a series of intensity control buttons 16, 18 where the buttons 16 are depressed to increase intensity and the buttons 18 are depressed to decrease intensity. It will be noticed that each pair of buttons 16, 18 from left to right is numbered from 1 to 10 and represents a channel as there are ten pairs of buttons 16, 18.
- a double wire (not shown) for each pair of electrodes (not shown) has a plug (not shown) at one end and two electrodes at the other end. One of the two wires is connected to each electrode and the plug is compatible with the sockets 20.

- the maximum voltage is preferably 70 volts with a peak at a resistance of 1 K ohm. Each train represents one frequency and trains are successive.
- the power switch is turned on and the standby indicator light is illuminated.
- the electrodes which have pads (not shown) are placed on the user with one electrode being placed at either end of the muscle to be treated.
- the user can more particularly be described as a patient.
- the electrodes are connected through the double wire assembly, as described above, to an output socket.
- the electrodes When the device is removed from the standby mode and activated, and the electrodes (not shown) are in contact with a user, current flows from the device to a first electrode at one end of the muscle to be treated to a second electrode at the other end of the muscle to be treated and back to the device to complete the circuit.
- the electrode has conductive material located between the electrodes and the patient's body.
- the device can be used to treat more than one muscle at a time, and preferably when the muscle or muscles being treated are on one side of a patient's body, the same muscle or muscles on the other side of the patient will also be treated. For example, if the muscle on the right hand side of the patient is to be treated, the same muscle on the left hand side of the patient will be treated simultaneously even if the muscle on the left hand side is not causing any discomfort to the patient.
- the most important muscles to be treated on the back of a patient are located 1-2 cm lateral to the spinal processes.
- the patient After all the electrodes are secured to the patient, using straps, adhesive surfaces, suction cups or other means of securing the electrodes, the patient will move to a comfortable position, and will usually be asked to lie on the electrodes. If the electrodes are located on the patient's back, the patient will turn over after the electrodes have been placed, and lie on his/her back.
- the operator of the device then chooses and sets the treatment time, preferably for substantially
- an operator then begins to set the intensity of the current for each of the electrode channels, there being one electrode channel for each muscle being treated.
- Each electrode channel is a separate circuit for the muscle that is being treated, each channel having two electrodes.
- the current applied by the device to a particular muscle flows from the device through one of the electrodes, through the muscle of the patient or user, and back to the device through the other electrode. It is important to set the intensity settings to a level just below the threshold for a muscle twitch or contraction for the muscle that is being treated.
- the operator increases the intensity of the current for the electrodes on the particular muscle to produce a mild twitch or mild contraction in the muscle and then slowly decreases the intensity of the current until only the sensation of the current is perceived by the patient, but there is no twitch or contraction feeling or any appearance of a twitch or contraction in the muscle.
- the contraction can be a tetanic or twitch contraction.
- Each of the electrodes is set to the same level of intensity for a particular muscle and the level of intensity is set for each of the muscles to be treated during the same treatment time below the threshold for each muscle that causes a contraction. For muscles that correspond to one another, the appropriate intensity level can be determined for one of the muscles, but must still be independently determined for the other corresponding muscle.
- the corresponding muscle is a muscle on one side of the body that corresponds to the same muscle on the other side of the body of the patient.
- the operator may record the percentage of intensity of each channel of the device for comparison to normative values and/or comparison to past or future intensity settings for that patient.
- the program of the device will proceed through different frequencies at their proper time allotments automatically based upon the total program time chosen by the operator for that patient and inputted it into the device as stated above.
- the sequence of frequencies are predetermined and preferably pre-programmed into the device through a programmable controller.
- the preferred frequencies and the sequence thereof for a total treatment time of 30 minutes is 80 hertz for 15 minutes, 4 hertz for 4 minutes, 30 hertz for 5 minutes, 50 hertz for 2 minutes, 80 hertz for 2 minutes and 120 hertz for 2 minutes.
- the frequencies and the sequence thereof for a total treatment time of 30 minutes is 80 hertz for 5 minutes, 120 hertz for 10 minutes, 4 hertz for 4 minutes, 30 hertz for 5 minutes, 50 hertz for 2 minutes, 80 hertz for 2 minutes and 120 hertz for 2 minutes.
- the times are preferred times, but other times are suitable as well.
- the operator When the treatment program is commenced, the operator should instruct the patient to signal the operator if they feel any pain or discomfort, or twitch or contraction in their muscles. The operator should be able to audibly monitor the patient during treatment and, if necessary, make adjustments to the intensity of the electrodes to ensure proper intensity levels are maintained throughout the treatment. In most cases, no adjustment will be required after the intensity level is set for each muscle before the program commences.
- the machine When the treatment is completed, the machine will produce an audio signal and automatically shut down.
- the electrode pads are removed from the patient and arrangements are made for a subsequent treatment or treatments, if required. Most often, several treatments are required and the number of treatments usually ranges from 2 to 5, but each case must be considered independently and the number of treatments can vary widely.
- the sequence of frequencies and times set out above is for a 30 minute treatment program.
- the times for each frequency increase proportionately.
- the factor is 1.5, 2 and 3 for 45 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes respectively.
- the device automatically increases the time at each frequency proportionally. While the exact frequencies and times set out in the sequence are preferred, substantially the same frequencies and times can also be used.
- a range of frequencies for the 30, 50, 80 and 120 hertz is ⁇ 5 hertz and the range for the 4 hertz frequency is ⁇ 2 hertz.
- the preferred ranges of frequency, in order of application are therefore 75 to 85 hertz, 115 to 125 hertz, 2 to 6 hertz, 25 to 35 hertz, 45 to 55 hertz, 75 to 85 hertz and 115 to 125 hertz.
- the treatment times are flexible and the time at each frequency is also flexible.
- Electrical impulses at 50 hertz and 80 hertz decrease the release of Leukotriene B4, a potent inflammatory substance. It is known that a muscle of shortened length cannot use the optimal compliment of acto-myosin bridges. The muscle therefore cannot generate as much muscle tension. A shortened muscle (caused by muscle tightness/spasm) does not regain full strength or endurance regardless of the strength and endurance exercises.
- a muscle in spasm or excessively tight results in the release of several inflammatory compounds, including Leukotriene B4, due to the hypoxia that results from physical compression of the capillary beds.
- Leukotriene B4 reduces the blood flow in the muscle, resulting in the muscle fatiguing and tightening further, perpetuating the cycle.
- This perpetuating cycle of muscles fatiguing and tightening further can in some cases compress lymphatic vessels, causing an increase of fluid in the lymph vessel and the interstitial fluid also builds up. The result can be substantial swelling. This swelling can further compress the blood vessels causing the release of more Leukotriene B4 and this becomes a vicious circle.
- muscles can be made to relax, without causing the muscles to contract during the program.
- the purpose of the device and method of the present invention is not to work the muscle(s), but to relax the muscle(s) of a user.
- the device and method of the present invention are particularly suited for lower back pain with the electrodes being in contact on either side of the back of the patient
- the device and method can also be used to treat muscles and other parts of the body, for example, the arms and legs of a patient.
- the method and device of the present invention can be used in the following therapeutic applications or ailments which are not intended to be exhaustive:
- the device and method of the present invention are effective in eliminating or reducing pain caused by injury or disease and is also effective in preventing further injury.
- the system results in relaxing the muscles treated.
- the process of the present invention relates generally to electrical manipulation of muscles for diagnostic purposes, rehabilitation therapy as well as treatment of specific diseases, conditions and injuries.
- the process of the present invention reduces the tension in specific muscles alleviating symptoms of the muscles to which it is applied.
- the process will allow for any nerve root compressions (when applied to paraspinal muscles), joint, vessel or other structures compressed by muscles to be released mitigating these results and dysfunctions, paraesthesias and/or pain symptoms.
- the invention can be used diagnostically as well as therapeutically.
- the device of the present invention can be used to determine the voltage that results in the device at that frequency (or range of frequencies) when the intensity of the current is set at a level that is slightly lower than a level required to cause the at least one muscle to contract or twitch.
