  • Patent number: 8273046
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing light therapy traction to a patient. A light therapy device and a traction mechanism provide concurrent, alternating and/or repetitive treatment to a patient. The light therapy device includes one or more light sources configured to deliver light to a patient. The traction mechanism is configured to provide selective separation to a particular location the patient's body, such as a location of the patient's vertebrae. In some embodiments, the light therapy and traction are performed simultaneously. In other embodiments, the light therapy and lumbar traction are performed in treatment cycles to the patient. Embodiments of the present invention embrace the application of light therapy prior to, during, and/or after a cervical and/or lumbar traction treatment.

  • Publication number: 20070208396
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a light pad configured for light therapy, wherein the light pad is dynamically flexible to conform to curvatures of the human body. The light pad includes a flexible, electrical circuit board configuration, a plurality of light sources coupled to the flexible, electrical circuit board configuration, wherein the plurality of light sources are configured to provide light therapy to a patient, and an electrical circuit comprising the plurality of light sources and electrical interconnections of the flexible, electrical circuit board configuration. In at least some embodiments, the flexible, electrical circuit board configuration comprises a plurality of circuit boards that are interconnected by one or more braided cords. The circuit boards provide increased flexibility of the light pad as bending is allowed between the boards, while the braided cord provides a resilient, long-lasting, electrical connection between the independent boards.
