Abstract

A pain relief device and method or system to aid in the resolution of pain in a body including at least one layer of PVDF film and at least one other layer for directional purposes, as well as a polarizing layer. The device can be packaged in various ways. Also described is a device that uses a combination of LED bulbs, polymer based materials and a near field accelerator to provide pain relief.

Claims (30)

1. A method of treating pain comprising the steps of:

placing a composite of noble metal, PVDF file and a polarizer in a package associated with a laser light source;

placing the package in association with a pain site on a body; and

waiting until the pain has diminished before removing the package from the site of the pain.

2. A method of treating pain comprising the steps of:

placing a composite of noble metal, PVDF file and a polarizer in a package including an LED source;

placing the package in association with a pain site on a body within one half inch of the skin of the body; and

waiting until the pain has diminished before removing the package from the site of the pain.

3. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said composite is disposed in a flexible package.

4. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the composite is integrated with the package and configured to be placed on the pain site on the body in a location defined by inflammatory pain emanating from the body.

5. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the composite comprises:

a first layer forming a base having a noble metal as an element of the material;

a second layer disposed on said first layer, wherein said second layer includes a PVDF film; and

a third layer disposed on said second layer including a polarizer; and

a laser light therapy source wherein the laser light is transmitted in association with said composite towards a human body.

6. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said composite is formed by spraying the first layer onto said second and third layers.

7. The method as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said composite is disposed in a package to be held in place and directed to a source of inflammatory pain.

8. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein layers are formed by taking said PVDF layer and dipping it on both sides into a bath of polyvinyl alcohol combined with iodine (to cause a polarizing effect) as a polarizing layer on both sides of the PVDF film layer, then spraying that combination with a conductive noble metal copper to create a layer on at least one side of the combination.

9. The method as set forth in claim 5 , wherein all of the layers of the composite have a polymeric foundation.

10. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said composite is disposed in a package that can be configured to come into contact with the outer skin of said body.

11. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the composite is integrated with the package and configured to be placed on the pain site on the body in a location defined by inflammatory pain emanating from an animal.

12. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said package is configured for placement at an acupuncture meridian for treatment.

13. The method as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a laser light therapy source wherein the laser light source is LED.

14. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the composite comprises:

a first layer forming a base having a noble metal as an element of the material;

a second layer disposed on said first layer, wherein said second layer includes a PVDF film; and

a third layer disposed on said second layer including a polarizer; and

a laser light therapy source wherein the laser light is transmitted in association with said composite towards a human body.

15. The method as set forth in claim 14 , wherein all of the layers of the composite have a polymeric foundation.

16. The method as set forth in claim 14 , wherein layers are formed by taking said PVDF layer and dipping it on both sides into a bath of polyvinyl alcohol combined with iodine (to cause a polarizing effect) as a polarizing layer on both sides of the PVDF film layer, then spraying that combination with a conductive noble metal copper to create a layer on at least one side of the combination.
