A device for providing therapeutic treatment to a body part such as a
joint to promote healing of the body part comprises a signal generator
for generating a pulsed electromagnetic field based upon a selected
treatment mode, a controller for storing the treatment mode and
communicating the treatment mode to the signal generator, a heat source
configured to provide thermal therapy to the body part, and monitoring
means for monitoring the electromagnetic field generated by the
electromagnetic stimulating means. The device may also include telemetry
means in communication with the monitoring means for remotely accessing
the controller to modify the treatment mode. The device can also be
disposable.
