Description

Disk hydrotherapy

The present invention relates to a disc frequency therapy device for progressing symptom control and prognosis through extension movements and traction therapy for patients concerned with various spinal diseases such as lumbar discs, spinal canal stenosis, and muscle stiffness of the lower back.

Generally, intervertebral discs are intervertebral discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae of the vertebrae. It is called.

That is, the herniation of the intervertebral disc is usually called a disk, and the gap between the lumbar spine and the lumbar spine is narrowed or the fluid is released due to the deformation of the disc wheel and the nerve is pressed to induce pain. Mainly protruding to the back of the spinal nerve roots (脊髓神經根) to induce neuralgia, and severe pain causes changes in posture.

Mild cases are alleviated by stabilization or by wearing a corset, but in severe cases, the cartilage must be removed surgically, sometimes in the cervical spine.

Traction therapy is one of the conservative therapies that relieve nerve irritation symptoms of the lower extremities by increasing the pressure between the vertebrae and the vertebrae. It is commonly known as one of the main techniques of practitioner.

The main action is the formation of negative pressure in the intervertebral disc during flexion-towing, which reduces the herniation of the intervertebral discs, which is effective in treating discs and alleviating spinal canal narrowing.

It is also known to be more effective in relieving muscle stiffness in the lumbar back than in classical traction.

On the other hand, the above method may be divided into manual traction carried out by the operator and automatic traction using a tow bed made for use. Manual traction requires the operator to be skilled in the technique and also hassle-blowing and physical effort.

In addition, the conventional automatic towing equipment performs each traction function, but in particular, during flexion-towing treatment, it is impossible to precisely adjust the angle of the support plate supporting the lower body. Since it was not separately, the effects of manual towing dog treatment were not properly exercised.

The best way to treat these discs is to use physical therapy to widen the narrowed lumbar spine and reinforce the muscles around them so that the leaked fluid is in place.

Korean Utility Model No. 20-0286174, "Automatic Traction Therapy" (abbreviated as "Pre-registration Utility") has been proposed to alleviate these neurostimulatory symptoms.

The pre-registration utility includes a main frame having a mattress on the upper side, a support frame having one end hinged to both sides in a width direction from the middle of the main frame while supporting the main frame at a predetermined height from the ground, and One end is fixed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the other end is fixed bands for fixing the neck and legs of the body, respectively, is installed on both sides around the hinge of the support frame, the upper surface of the main frame to support the bottom of each other, And a pair of bellows for inducing rotation of the main frame by selectively decreasing and increasing the volume by the fluid movement of the controller, and adjusting means for intermitting fluid movement between the pair of bellows.

The automatic traction treatment device configured and operated as described above can easily adjust the angle of the main frame by manually or automatically transferring the fluid in a pair of bellows, thereby greatly reducing vibration and noise generated when driving a conventional motor. It becomes possible.

However, such a pre-registration room uses a pair of bellows using air pressure, which takes up a lot of space, and there is a hassle in using a compressed air device that generates air pressure. There was a problem that can not do traction treatment because the inclination is not adjusted.
