  • Patent number: 9333348
    Abstract: A diagnostic device in an electrical interferential treatment regime applies different pulse frequencies in one selection of electrode placement and determines the change of blood flow in response to the change in pulse frequency in an attempt to determine an optimum or workable set of parameters. The device includes electronic storage to record a series of tests and their results and a communication link. The communication link enables a professional caregiver to determine whether the parameter determinations, made at a location remote from the professional's office, such as at the residence of the patient, were conducted and were conducted correctly. The communication link also enables the professional to determine whether the treatments were conducted and conducted correctly.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150246229
    Abstract: A method of treating a wide variety of heretofore considered unrelated ailments comprises delivering electricity through a circuit in the body. The circuit includes at least four nerves leading from at least two of the patient's extremities to various nerve roots adjacent the spinal column. Electrical energy from an electrical interferential therapy device is delivered though electrodes on the extremities adjacent the nerve endings until symptoms of the diagnosed ailment ameliorate. Sending impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system, appears to help the body manufacture various neuropeptides and other chemicals, which control the essential basics of the body's health and well being.

  • Patent number: 6826429
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating patients using electrical interferential therapy is disclosed. The apparatus uses multiple electrodes to define multiple treatment channels, with each channel having a discrete frequency and an adjustable beat frequency between all or selected channel pairs. This adjustment can be done between treatment sessions or can be done during the treatment session by the technician or by the apparatus as programmed. The multiple treatment channels can be used on the same patient, or can be used by the same or a different technician to treat additional patient(s).
