1. A magnetic pulse therapy device comprising:
a segmented solenoid comprising a plurality of independently controllable coils arranged to form a treatment zone within its core;
a controller configured to:
energize a first subset of the coils to produce magnetic flux in a first direction; and
energize a second subset of the coils to produce magnetic flux in a second direction opposing the first direction, thereby creating a point of opposition between the first and second subsets; and
a gap near the point of opposition that allows magnetic flux to escape laterally from the solenoid.
