Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a treatment guide unit for the cervical vertebrae in a low frequency electrotherapy device.

Conventionally, low-frequency electrotherapy devices have a counter electrode conductor connected to an output terminal as a treatment conductor and a treatment electrode conductor, which are crimped to the treatment area of the human body via a poultice.
A current-carrying circuit is formed between the electrode conductors to send low-frequency electrical energy through the skin to the human body, and the electrical stimulation affects the metabolism of living cells, and the poultice is further heated using a heater or the like. Warm up,
Treatment is performed in combination with this warm compress effect, but the counter electrode electrode and the treatment electrode, which are the treatment electrodes, are each separate and independent, and the heater is also separate and independent from both electrodes. Therefore, during treatment, a belt, etc. is required to fix both electrodes to the treatment area of the body, and a separate belt, etc. is also required to fix the heater, making the operation of attaching it to the body complicated. It was hot.

Particularly when the treatment area is the cervical vertebrae, it is difficult to attach the treatment electrode, counter electrode electrode, heater, etc.
The disadvantage was that the compresses and the like were misaligned, making it difficult to perform treatment adequately.

The base fabric 6 is composed of a mounting base fabric 11 for mounting and supporting the treatment conductor, and an electric heating fabric 12 containing a heater wire arranged in a layered manner on the inner side of the mounting base fabric 11 for mounting and supporting the treatment guide. Both are formed into the same shape and constitute the neck wrapping part 4 and the treatment guide supporting part 5 as described above.

Disc-shaped metal plates 13 made of aluminum are housed inside the treatment guide support part 5 of the mounting base fabric 11 in two vertical rows and two horizontal rows. A treatment electrode 7 is placed at the bottom right, a counter electrode 7' is placed at the bottom right, another treatment electrode 8 is placed at the top right, and a counter electrode 8' is placed at the bottom left. When worn around the neck, the healing pole conductor 7 is placed on the left side of the fourth cervical vertebra, the counter electrode conductor 7' is placed on the right side of the seventh cervical vertebra, and the healing pole conductor 8 is placed on the right side of the fourth cervical vertebra. On the other hand, the counter electrode conductor 8' is configured to be located at the left calyx of the seventh cervical vertebra.

The treatment guide is attached by attaching and detaching flanges 14 protruding from both sides of the treatment guide to the metal plate 13 via bolts, and the wiring to the treatment guide is as follows. Mounting base cloth 11
Each of the four cords 16 arranged on the back side is attached to a metal plate 1.
The tip of the cord 16 is inserted into the cord insertion hole 17 in the center of 3, and the tip of the cord 16 is integrated into the cable 2 disposed on the edge of the base fabric 6 together with the base end of the heater wire.

The tip of the cable 2 can be freely connected to the treatment device 1, and is configured so that the heater wire and the treatment conductor can be energized by operating the treatment device 1, and the treatment conductor unit 3 can be attached to the patient. When the compressor band 9 acts as a warm compress, the compressor band 9 acts as a warm compress to apply pressure on the cervical vertebra between the treatment electrode conductor 7 and the counter electrode conductor 7' and between the other treatment electrode conductor 8 and the counter electrode conductor 8'. The configuration is such that energization is performed in the state where the two cross each other.

Furthermore, the treatment device 1 is provided with a predetermined operating section, and by operating the operating section, each energization in the cross state can be performed alternately, each energization can be performed continuously or intermittently, The configuration is such that each energization can be performed at different frequencies.

In addition, the compress band 9 has a front side 19 made of flannel fabric, a back side 20 made of towel fabric, and a large number of flannel fabrics and towel fabrics are alternately layered between the front side 19 and the back side 20 to easily absorb water, and the base fabric 6 It is formed in the same plane as the treatment guide supporting part 5, and the magic tapes 21 arranged at the four corners of the back side 20 of the compress band 9 are engaged with the engaging tapes 22 arranged at the four inner corner positions of the base fabric 6. As a result, the poultice band 9 is configured to be removably attached to the inner surface of the base fabric 6, and the treatment conductors are configured to be energized to each affected joint.

In addition, this compress band 9 has a compressed thin current buffering part 23 formed in a cross shape, so that when the compress band 9 is attached to the base cloth 6, the control electrode conductor 7 and the counter electrode conductor 7 ' and between the other treatment electrode conductor 8 and the counter electrode conductor 8'.
