The present application discloses a platform for conditioning meridian functions, including a pedal and a bracket mechanism; the bracket mechanism includes: a bracket and an angle adjusting mechanism; the angle adjusting mechanism includes: a first angle adjusting mechanism and a second angle adjusting mechanism; the first angle adjusting mechanism includes: a first support rod, a first adjusting sleeve, a first gear shaft and a first adjusting groove; the second angle adjusting mechanism includes: a second support rod, a second adjusting sleeve, a second gear shaft and a second adjusting groove; the first adjusting groove and the second adjusting groove are symmetrically provided in plurality. By providing the angle adjusting mechanism, different inclination angles of the pedal can be realized, and the combined design of the angle adjusting mechanism, the support rods and the adjusting sleeves effectively improves the stability and security of pack up angle adjusted by the support plate.

A method of treating a reflexology zone to reduce aging using pressure pulses or shock waves has the steps of: placing an applicator head of an acoustic shock wave or pressure pulse generator or source at a reflexology zone; coupling the applicator head directly or indirectly to an exposed surface of the skin near the reflexology zone; and activating the generator or source to emit pressure pulses or acoustic shock waves through the skin to the reflexology zone to reduce, reverse or stop cell senescence or aging and apoptosis.

The present application discloses a novel acupuncture foot massage device, comprising a housing, a motor, a gear assembly, an acupuncture box and a massage disc, wherein the gear assembly drives the massage disc to rotate and perform kneading massage and the curved surface disc to move acupuncture needles up and down to perform acupuncture massage on the foot, such that entire set of the acupuncture points of the foot are adequately massaged.

In a stimulus method, a stimulus applying apparatus is attached to an area selected from a group of specific parts of a body surface by an acupuncture needle(s) or heating etc. thereby releasing the stress, and a stress-free medical treatment method based on the stimulus method.

A massage pad includes a body having a certain thickness, and the body includes a first face and a second face which is located opposite to the first face. The first face has multiple protrusions integrally formed thereon. Each protrusion has a root portion and a rounded portion which is integrally formed with the root portion. The root portion of each protrusion extends from the first face of the body. The diameter of each rounded portion is between 2 mm to 6 mm. The deformation rate of the rounded portion is less than that of the root portion of each protrusion so as to maintain the ball shape to provide better massage feature.

Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome can be of one or more etiologies and symptoms which refutes the mistaken tendency to categorize all plantar heel pain singularly as either plantar fasciitis or fasciosis. Recognizing that there is likely an interplay of inflammatory, degenerative and neuropathic etiologic conditions of this often-difficult malady to treat, a novel injection paradigm of botulinum toxin is explored in the treatment of 4 distinct presentations of Plantar Heel Pain Syndrome with promising results.

A massaging shoe and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The massaging shoe comprises a shoe body formed by a shoe sole (10) and a shoe vamp (20) connected together, and further comprises a sock sleeve (50) detachably arranged in the shoe body, the sock sleeve (50) is provided with at least one massaging air bag (30), the shoe sole includes a shoe sole body (11) having a containing cavity and a shoe board (12) covering on the containing cavity, and the containing cavity is provided therein with an air pump (41) communicating with the massaging air bag (30) and electronic components (40) controlling the air pump (41). In the present invention, the massaging air bag (30) is arranged in the sock sleeve (50), the sock sleeve (50) is arranged in the shoe body, and the massaging air bag (30) is communicated with the air pump (41) to form a massaging shoe. Since the sock sleeve (50) is detachable, it is convenient to detach and clean the sock sleeve (50) after use; if the massaging air bag (30) is damaged, the massaging air bag (30) and the sock sleeve (50) can be replaced directly, and the shoe body does not need to be disassembled, such that it is convenient to repair; moreover, this massaging shoe is simple in manufacture, has a high machining efficiency, and has low cost.

The invention relates to a novel infant combined foot reflexology and teething method which involves coupling an article of clothing, that is configured to cover a toddler/infant's foot and/or toes and that is made from or comprised of organic, natural or synthetic materials, and a cap (teething balls) composed of natural rubber/TPR/Silicone, and which jointly serve as a foot reflexology and teething device, which serve to stimulate the foot reflexology and acupressure points for teething, mouth, head, jaws, etc., and which stimulate homeopathic reflexes that calm the head area, and also provides acupuncture yielding benefits, which includes managing musculoskeletal pain, colic, vomiting, and/or nausea, as well as foot reflexology benefits provided because of the raised bumps on the outside and inside of the rubber toe are, which includes decreased 02 saturation in the blood as well as reduced heart rate, and may also provide security against accidentally biting themselves too hard due to the sock/bootie, cap and teething balls, all while staying available to the infant by being securely attached to his/her foot, toes, ankles, feet, and legs, via a securing device such as a velcro strap. These benefits can be achieved by using the invention because not only is the infant stimulated by the raised bumps/teething balls on the outside of the rubber toe cap area, but the infant will be stimulating those acupoints and reflexology areas that are associated with increased comfort as noted in this specification.

A treatment method to reduce or eliminate a patient's symptoms caused by a medical condition or disease is disclosed. The treatment has the step of administering acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses directed to one or more reflexology zones or to one or more reflexology zones and an area near a source of the pain if any is exhibited to treat the medical condition. The treatment further has the steps of activating acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses of an acoustic shock wave or pressure pulse generator to emit acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses and subjecting the one or more reflexology zones or the one or more reflexology zones and the area near a source of the medical condition or pain, if any is exhibited, to acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses to treat the medical condition.

The method of treating a patient addicted to pain medication or opioids has the step administering acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses to the patient. A second embodiment includes a treatment to reduce a patient's pain caused by a medical condition and/or medical procedure to reduce or eliminate the taking of addictive pain medication. The treatment has the step of administering acoustic shock waves or pressure pulses directed to an area near a source of the pain or to one or more reflexology zones or to one or more reflexology zones and to an area near the source of the pain or both to treat the medical condition or prior to the medical procedure or during the medical procedure or after the medical procedure or any combination thereof.
