Benefits of technology

[0013]It is further contemplated that the individual sources of therapies may be independently controlled. With such an arrangement the person administering the treatment may control the intensity and manner in which the treatments are applied. For instance, it is contemplated that application of the different therapies may be random in terms of both source of therapy, duration of pulse or application, and frequency of application. Thus, for example, each of the light sources may be activated at varying intensities, for different lengths of time, with different light sources on the surface of the pad being activated at different times. This variation would appear random to the tissue being treated, and thus minimizing the possibility of adaptation.
[0015]It has been found that the simultaneous application of several of these therapies at once is particularly effective. Thus, it is contemplated that the pad may include several alternating light sources and several alternating electrical impulse sources.

Problems solved by technology

A significant problem associated with these therapies, however, is that the body becomes adapted to the stimulus, causing the therapies to become less effective.

Abstract

A system that provides multiple therapies to a given area of the body of an animal, the system includes a pad for use against the area of the body. The system includes at least one light source, at least one electrical impulse source, and a control module for controlling the frequency of light emitted from the light source and the frequency of the electrical impulses created by the electrical impulse source. The light source provides light-therapy to areas of the body under the pad.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of my application having Ser. No. 10 / 879,251, filed Jun. 29, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,503,927, issued Mar. 17, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and which claims the benefit of my provisional application having Ser. No. 60 / 483,581, filed Jun. 30, 2003, now abandoned.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002](a) Field of the Invention[0003]This invention generally relates to a device or system for applying several types of therapies to an area of the body. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a system that provides a combination of therapies at one time, the therapies including combinations of light, pulsed electro-magnetic, electrical impulse, and vibratory massage.[0004](b) Discussion of Known Art[0005]Therapies such as light therapy, pulsed electro-magnetic, electrical impulse, and vibratory massage, have long been recognized as effective for treatment of muscular and jo...
