The invention relates to apparatus and method for ultrasonically and
electromagnetically treating tissue to treat, for example, traumatized
tissue or a bone injury. The apparatus includes at least one ultrasonic
transducer assembly and at least one electromagnetic coil-assembly
configured to cooperate with a placement module for placement in
proximity to the treatment area. The apparatus also utilizes a portable
main operating unit constructed to fit within a pouch or carrying case
worn by the patient. In operation, at least one ultrasonic transducer and
at least one electromagnetic coil are activated by transmitting control
signals to the placement module from the main operating unit. The
activation of the at least one ultrasonic transducer causes ultrasonic
waves to be propagated toward the treatment area which are modulated by
electrostatic and magnetic forces generated by the at least one
electromagnetic coil. The activation of the at least one ultrasonic
transducer and the at least one electromagnetic coil may be performed at
the same time or at different times for varying periods.
