Abstract:
A magnet arrangement for creating a focused magnetic field for placement over an area of the body, the magnet arrangement comprising:a first magnet that generates a first magnet magnetic field, the first magnet being generally planar and having a first magnet north surface of a first magnet north size, and a first magnet south surface of a first magnet south size, and a first magnet perimeter having sides, the first magnet north surface and the first magnet sides being covered by a plate of a ferrousmagnetic material that is used to manipulate the magnetic field; a second magnet that generates a second magnetic field, the second magnet being generally planar and including a second magnet having a north surface of a second magnet north size, and a second magnet south surface of a second magnet south size, the second magnet south surface size being smaller than the first magnet south surface size, the second magnet further comprising a second magnet perimeter sides, the second magnet south surface and the second magnet perimeter sides being covered by a second magnet plate that is of a ferrousmagnetic material that is used to manipulate the magnetic field, the second magnet plate being attached to the first magnet south surface, so that the magnetic field generated by the first magnet is altered by the magnetic field generated by the second magnet.
