A Non-Medical Individual Can Learn How To Alleviate Pain With A Portable Ultrasound Machine

By Javier Mcnear


Pain relief is one of the primary benefits that can be derived by the use of a portable ultrasound machine. It achieves this by reducing edema and swelling. It also accelerates the healing process by causing an increase in blood flow.

The technology makes these medical applications possible through its thermal heating capabilities. Prior to development of the unit for home use, the pain-relieving waves could only be applied in a medical office or hospital. Those large size professional units produce the sound waves in one continuous wave.

It is due to the smaller unit emitting the waves in a pulsing pattern with an interval between the pulses, that pain relief can be administered at home by a non-medical individual. They are not as strong as the professional unit, making them safe for home use. They are inexpensive and thus, available to most individuals.

This technology was developed during World War II. Its propensity for healing was discovered when the military noticed that the sound waves were killing fish. It was due to the heat emitted from them. Research discovered it to be a technology suitable for healing when administered in lower strengths. It soon became useful for healing and pain relief.

There were a number of effective medical uses for the technology. Conditions such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, bursitis and plantar fasciitis were but a few. It was also adaptable to help in healing sprains, strains and tendonitis.

Pain alleviation in the home is made possible by the compact size of these units. A number of manufacturers produce them in various styles. Any reliable company offers a full one year warranty for each unit they sell.

The portable ultrasound machine is compact enough to be carried. Some can operate on battery power. The lightweight units have been in use since the 1980s. Those that can be run on battery power became available in the late 1990s.
