Abstract
A device and method are provided for therapy and treatment of biological tissue such as muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue, by use of a device and method in which therapeutic vibrational frequency resonance patterns are transmitted to tissues of a patient. The resonance frequencies originate from many resonance domains, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and fatty acids. Each domain includes therapeutic frequency resonance patterns. These resonance patterns may be passively excited and transmitted to a patient to enhance tissue function, to decrease the normal rehabilitation time of damaged tissue, and provide therapeutic benefits for muscle tissue dysfunction. Therapeutic frequency resonance patterns may also be actively excited by a delivery mechanism that uses electromagnetic or mechanical waves to interact with the device. The actively excited device transmits the therapeutic frequency resonance patterns to the patients for similar enhancements and therapeutic benefits.
Core Innovation
The invention relates to a method and system for treatment of biological tissue by application of therapeutic frequency patterns using a therapeutic frequency resonance pattern device. The device comprises a substrate layer and a mineral matrix layer having at least one resonance frequency imbedded therein, and the mineral matrix resonance frequencies are excited to provide therapeutic effects. The device is adapted to be placed proximate to the biological tissue to be treated, and a delivery mechanism located in proximity to the device produces a wave that excites the at least one resonance frequency of the mineral matrix layer.
The method positions a muscle of a patient having a potential imbalance in a state of contraction, confirms an indicator change in the muscle, places the device in proximity to the muscle, and excites the resonance frequency using a wave produced by a delivery mechanism. The method further includes again manually placing the muscle in a state of contraction, applying pressure to the muscle, removing the device from the patient, and manually testing the muscle to confirm that a therapeutic effect has been achieved.
As further described in the partial content, resonance patterns are generated from multiple “muscle formula” domains embedded in a mineral matrix that is coated on a carrier/substrate, preferably a computer chip, and protected with a thin plastic film. The system can be passively excited by patient muscle activation and/or actively excited by electromagnetic or mechanical delivery mechanisms to produce harmonic resonance fields.
Claims Coverage
The partial content provides two independent claims, a method and a system, that share the same core device concept: a substrate layer plus a mineral matrix layer with at least one resonance frequency imbedded, and a delivery mechanism that produces a wave to excite that resonance frequency in proximity to biological tissue. Across the independent claims, multiple inventive features are required, including device structure, proximity placement, resonance excitation, and manual confirmation of therapeutic effect in the method claim.
Therapeutic frequency resonance pattern device with imbedded resonance frequencies
A therapeutic frequency resonance pattern device comprising a substrate layer and a mineral matrix layer having at least one resonance frequency imbedded therein.
Proximity placement to biological tissue
Manually placing the device in proximity to the muscle, or adapting the device to be placed proximate to the biological tissue to be treated.
Delivery mechanism producing a wave that excites the imbedded resonance frequency
Providing a delivery mechanism in proximity to the device and exciting the at least one resonance frequency of the mineral matrix layer using a wave produced by the delivery mechanism, or producing a wave that excites the at least one resonance frequency of the mineral matrix layer to provide therapeutic benefits.
Manual muscle state confirmation and therapeutic-effect testing
Manually positioning a muscle of a patient having a potential imbalance in a state of contraction, manually confirming an indicator change in the muscle, again manually placing the muscle in a state of contraction, applying pressure to the muscle, removing the device from the patient, and manually testing the muscle to confirm a therapeutic effect has been achieved.
Overall, the independent claims require a therapeutic frequency resonance pattern device with a mineral matrix layer having at least one resonance frequency imbedded, placement of the device in proximity to the biological tissue or muscle to be treated, and a delivery mechanism producing a wave that excites the imbedded resonance frequency to provide therapeutic benefits. The method independent claim additionally requires manual muscle-state confirmation and manual testing to confirm a therapeutic effect has been achieved.
