摘要 |
The present invention is directed towards a device and methods for the use of ultrasonic energy for providing therapeutic effects by heating and stimulating bioactive points (BAPs) in the body of a patient. The device includes an ultrasound generator driving an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound transducer generates ultrasound waves which are focused to a focal point through a lens which is attached to the ultrasound generator. A coupling medium is used displace any air between the lens and the patient's skin surface to allow ultrasonic energy transfer into the patient. The device is pressed against the patient's skin surface and the unit is energized using a foot or hand activated switch.
