Abstract
A motor driven needle-poking device for treating patients having chronic muscular pain. The device consists of a motor driven poking tool for mounting a needle, a control unit for adjusting the frequency and the depth of poking, a mechanical swivel arm for holding and positioning said tool, and a remote activation switch for activating the motorized tool. Once the tool is positioned at a proper location of patient's skin by said swivel arm and activated by said switch, the needle pokes the muscle of interest underneath the skin at a constant frequency and at a fixed depth.
