How To Alleviate Pain With A Portable Ultrasound Machine

By Javier Mcnear


The portable ultrasound machine makes it possible for pain relief to be administered in the home. This unit can reduce swelling and edema and also accelerate the process of healing. It does so by facilitating an increase in blood flow.

The technology facilitates these benefits through thermal and non-thermal methods. Before the compact unit was developed, application of the pain-relieving waves could only be done in an office or other medical facility. A large, professional unit emits the sound waves in a continuous stream.

The compact unit is safe for home use because it produces the sound waves in a pulsing pattern rather than a continuous one. There is an interval between the pulses. They are successful in spite of being weaker because they can be administered every day. Most individuals are able to afford one of these machines due to the nominal cost.

The technology was originally used as a way to help navigate submarines during World War II. When it was found to be killing fish, research discovered that it had heating properties. Those were researched and found capable of giving pain relief when used in appropriately calibrated strengths.

This method of relieving pain can be applied to improving a number of afflictions. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, plantar fasciitis and bursitis are among the conditions that can be improved. Others are sprains affecting the ligaments, strains affecting the muscles 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.

It can be carried from one location to another and there are models that operate on battery power. The first portable ultrasound machine was produced in the 1980s. The model that can run on battery power was manufactured in the late 1990s.
