     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a system for treating injuries, and more particularly, to a system for treating injuries using various combinations of laser light energy, LED energy, magnetic energy, electro-stimulation energy and crystal energy. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    Traditional medical, homeopathic, oriental and alternative healthcare treatments utilize various technologies and techniques for pain management, accelerated healing processes and diagnostic processes. These can include things such as drug therapy, manipulation therapy, biofeedback therapy, acupuncture, chi therapy, electro-stimulation therapy, magnetic field therapy, laser therapy, light therapy and crystal therapy. Each of these techniques are utilized individually in an attempt to provide various types of pain management, accelerated healing or diagnostic techniques. 
         [0004]    The problem with the solutions associated with these types of therapies is that the products are normally implemented within bulky systems that are very impractical for portable usage. These therapies and technologies while implementable within a clinical or doctor&#39;s office are not practical for home use. Additionally, these various types of therapies will often fail to provide objective evidence of the efficacy of the process or treatment. Therefore, there is a need for some manner for the treatment of pain management, accelerated healing or diagnostic techniques that overcome these problems within a portable system that is easily utilizable by, for example, a home user.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0016]    Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers are used herein to designate like elements throughout, the various views and embodiments of a system for providing magnetic, light, electro-stimulation and crystal energy therapy are illustrated and described, and other possible embodiments are described. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, and in some instances the drawings have been exaggerated and/or simplified in places for illustrative purposes only. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the many possible applications and variations based on the following examples of possible embodiments. 
         [0017]    Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to  FIG. 1 , there is illustrated a general block diagram of the system for providing treatment for pain management, accelerated healing and diagnostic analysis. As described previously, present systems for providing treatment for pain management, accelerated healing or diagnostic purposes utilize bulky system components for providing each of these treatment processes. The present system, as illustrated with respect to  FIG. 1 , comprises a system allowing the integration of electro-stimulation therapy, magnetic field therapy, laser therapy, light therapy and crystal therapy into a single handheld device. The system will additionally provide a mechanism for the assessment of anomalies in the magnetic field of an individual&#39;s body and allow the tracking of the magnetic field before therapy, during therapy and after therapy to provide real-time feedback to the system. Thus, a user can receive objective, measurable evidence of the benefits of various types of treatment or combinations thereof being provided to an individual. The system enables the measurement of variations in the magnetic field of the human body for assessment of anomalies and assessment of changes resulting from various therapies. This can provide objective evidence of problems and changes in the body arising from variously applied therapies. 
         [0018]    The system comprises an input block  102  for monitoring of feedback with respect to treatments being applied to an individual. The control block and measurement block  104  control the various parameters applying light, magnetic, electro-stimulation and crystal therapy to a patient. 
         [0019]    The input block  102  connects the device to a feedback circuit  110  that provides a microcurrent biofeedback electro-stimulation signal or other type of feedback control signal to the control block  104 . The feedback circuit  110  may also provide some other type of frequency modulation control circuitry for providing the feedback signals to the input block  102 . The control block  104  controls the manner for increasing or decreasing the field strength or changing the polar orientations of the various magnetic, light and crystal therapies being applied by the device. The measurement circuitry of the control block and measurement block  104  provide the measurement of the detected magnetic fields detected through the PEMF block  106  to quantify changes detected in the body field of a patient. 
         [0020]    The PEMF block  106  is used for controlling the magnetic and crystal therapy applications to the body of a patient and for detecting the magnetic field changes caused by the various therapies that are applied to a patient. The light block  108  controls and drives the various light sources that are being used to provide laser and light therapy to an individual patient. The light block  108  provides the drive control and light sources that project light at various wavelengths of visible light and non-visible light spectrums around and/or through the magnetic and/or crystal treatment therapies. Application of light sources through the light block  108  enable the light to be applied around and/or through magnetic and/or crystal therapies to multiply the effects provided by each therapy. 
         [0021]    Referring now to  FIG. 2 , there is illustrated a more detailed block diagram of the system of  FIG. 1 . This figure more fully illustrates the various therapy control circuitries that are controlled via the control block  104  for application to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . As before, the control block  104  receives feedback through input block  102  provided from the feedback circuit  110  and selects the therapy circuits needed to apply a selected therapy to a patient. The PEMF block provides magnetic field readings to the control block  104  to indicate the benefits being provided by the application of various treatment therapies to a patient. The therapy feedback circuitry consists of the magnetic field measurement circuitry  204  that enables the magnetic field of a person&#39;s body to be detected and provide feedback information to the control block  104  providing for the control of various therapies applied to a patient&#39;s body based upon these objective measurements. The magnetic field sensing circuitry  204  may consist in one embodiment of a faraday pickup coil that may detect the differences in the body&#39;s magnetic field strength and differences in the direction of the magnetic pole field. The magnetic field sensing circuitry  204  can determine if the body&#39;s magnetic field is north (positive voltage) or south (negative voltage). The magnetic field sensing circuitry  204  can additionally measure the amplitude of the magnetic field strength to determine the amplitude and polarity of the body voltage. The integration of the magnetic field sensing circuitry  204  allows for the measurement and quantification of magnetic body field changes within a patient. Magnetic field measurement circuitry  204  enables the measurements of variations in the magnetic field of the human body to enable the assessment of anomalies occurring within the body and to assess changes resulting from the various applied combination of therapies. This enables the provision of objective evidence of problems and changes resulting from the therapies being applied to the body of a patient. 
         [0022]    The magnetic field generation circuitry  206  provides for the generation of a magnetic field at a desired level for application to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . The magnetic field generation circuitry  206  uses various windings, orientations and wire gauges to implement a desired field direction and strength of the magnetic field being applied to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . In one embodiment, the magnetic field generation circuitry  206  may comprise a Tesla QI device having the ability to provide different magnetic field strengths including the ability to generate a scalar magnetic field. The magnetic field generation circuitry  206  will also have the ability to switch between a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole being projected from the circuitry. The magnetic field generation circuitry  206  allows for the application of a damped sinusoidal magnetic field and through the control block, the strength of the field may be increased or decreased and the polar orientation of the field being applied to a patient may also be controlled. 
         [0023]    The laser light generation circuitry  208  utilizes laser light generation components to generate a laser for application to the body of a patient. Similarly, the LED light generation circuitry  210  utilizes LED light circuitry for providing LED lights for application to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . Each of the laser light generation circuitry  208  and LED light generation circuitry  210  can generate lights at a variety of frequency and color levels enabling the application of, for example, ultraviolet light, violet light, blue light, orange light, yellow light, green light, red light and infrared light to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . The laser light sources applied through the laser light circuitry  210  can increase the depth of the therapy within a patient while the LED light sources can provide a convenient achievement of various wavelengths of therapy. 
         [0024]    The crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  utilizes various combinations of crystals and orientations and compositions of the crystals to achieve variations in results that are applied to a patient through the application interface  202 . The crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  comprise a crystal that is used a core of a winding. The crystals are then excited by electro magnetic and/or optical light energy or magnetic energy patterns. The applied magnetic field will modify the electrical structure of the crystal slightly (to a small degree). The crystal acts as an extremely high-Q capacitor that slowly leaks off its energy. 
         [0025]    The crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  can be controlled in a number of manners. The frequency of the output of the crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  may be modulated. The intensity of the output of the crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  can be modulated or the power level of the output can be varied. The frequency of the output (in Hz) can be modulated or varied. The output can be provided as a pulsed high voltage sinusoidal signal. Also, the polarization of the output can be rotated to vary the output signal to provide different effects. Additional the light wavelength frequency of the output can be varied by using different light colors, different light wavelength frequencies of light within both the visible and non-visible ranges (e.g., infrared and ultra-violet light). The control circuitry may also control the manner in which the crystals of the crystal therapy generation circuitry are excited. A modified excitation of the crystal may be achieved by various combinations of control of: a) the presence and type of the magnetic field, b) modulation of the magnetic field sequence, and c) the optical color light frequencies. 
         [0026]    The crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  may have a number of different combinations of the windings that surround a variety of types of crystal cores. The crystal cores can comprise a variety of shapes including a tube, a sphere, a star shape or even a crystal configuration of a tube holding a number of broken or smaller crystals. Various combinations of types of crystals may also be used to alter the effect to the body of a patient. 
         [0027]    The light frequencies applied to the crystals may be applied to the crystals in various combinations including either before the crystal so that the light shines through the crystal or after the crystal so that the light wave frequency is combined with the electro-magnetic frequency. 
         [0028]    The crystal therapy generation circuitry  212  may also include a number of different patterns for the windings surrounding the crystal core. If at least two windings are used they may use a stacked, parallel combination ( FIG. 3   a ); a serial combination where the polarity of each winding is in the same direction ( FIG. 3   b ); a scalar combination where the windings are shorted together and have opposite polarities ( FIG. 3   c ); a scalar combination where the windings are connected at one end and have polarities in the same direction ( FIG. 3   d ); a scalar combination where the windings are connected at one end and have polarities in the opposite directions ( FIG. 3   e ); a magnetic polarity configuration where the poles of the windings may be periodically switched ( FIG. 3   f ). 
         [0029]    Thus, to summarize the three types of wire connection configurations for the windings include a parallel connection, a serial connection and a reverse connection. The windings may have two directions of polarity, a north pole or a south pole. The described configurations use two coils on the crystals but other numbers of crystal are possible. Various combinations of these factors may be used to achieve different treatment affects. The different variations are used because cells have been found to have minute fibers that act like antennas. Some minute magnetic fields have different effects than stronger magnetic fields that would saturate these minute fiber antennas. 
         [0030]    Finally, the electro-stimulation circuitry  214  may be utilized to provide various electro-stimulation therapies to the body of a patient through the application interface  202 . The electro-stimulation circuitry  214  may include components similar to those described with respect to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/747,458, filed May 11, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference. 
         [0031]    The control block  104  through the application interface  202  enables various combinations of magnetic treatment, laser light treatment, LED light treatment, crystal therapy treatment and electro-stimulation treatment to be applied to the body of a patient. In various embodiments, either singular ones of these treatments may be applied to the body of a patient or any combinations thereof may also be utilized. Feedback to the control block  104  is provided from the magnetic field measurement circuitry  204 , which measures the effects of the various treatment combinations upon the body of a patient and enables a user of the device to determine which treatment or treatments are most positively affecting the patient and adjust the combination of therapies to achieve optimal results. 
         [0032]    The system illustrated in  FIG. 2  provides for a small lightweight and portable system capable of being used within the home. The circuitry used therein provides for low power consumption enabling battery operation. By integrating the magnetic field devices, light devices and crystal devices with the electro-stimulation circuitry, the device may increase the impact of various therapies compared to stand alone devices which only comprise individual ones of these various types of therapies. Application of light sources such that the light is applied in around and/or through the magnetic/crystal integration effects can have an impact upon the benefits of the applied therapy. 
         [0033]    Referring now to  FIG. 4 , there is illustrated how a crystal  402  may have different inputs applied thereto to provide varying outputs. The crystal  402  has light applied thereto by an LED plate  404  and electrical energy and/or magnetic energy applied thereto by a Tesla Coil  406 . The amount of energies applied to the crystal can be controlled by a frequency control input  408  controlling the frequency of the light, electricity or magnetic field, by a light on/off control signal  410  for controlling the LED plate  404  and a power control signal  412 . The output energies  414  applied to a patient are varied by different combination of the control signals  408 ,  410 ,  412  being applied to the crystal  402 . 
         [0034]    It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure that this system for providing magnetic, light and crystal energy therapy provides an improved manner for providing these treatment therapies to a patient.
