DEVICE PROVIDING NEUROTHERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION VIA MULTI-MODAL ENERGY THERAPY
20220401749 · 2022-12-22 ·

The present invention relates generally to a device for providing multi-modal energy therapy to treat neurogenerative disorders, and more particularly to a device providing multi-modal neuro-supportive energy therapy to a person via a daily session in a single facility. The device provides safe, well studied energy therapies in a controlled manner to stimulate neuronal mitochondrial activity which powers the brains neurons and is often defective in neurodegenerative disease states. Selected energy delivery mechanisms and frequencies are employed to stabilize microglial activity and promote microglial homeostasis and neuroprotective secretions, including mitochondrial melatonin and other neuroprotective factors. In addition to practicality, the combination of these proven therapeutic modalities into a single device may offer synergies not found when they are employed alone. This focused combination of these unique energy based therapies may offer new hope to slow, stop, reverse or mitigate neurogenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's diseases.
