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.

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.

It was around the time of World War II that the benefits of this technology for pain relief were discovered. The technology intended for use as a navigational device for submarines was killing fish. It was the heating properties that were found to be responsible and that heating capability was researched and found to be effective for providing pain relief in appropriate strengths.

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.

Anyone can transport this portable ultrasound machine from on place to another. Some of the units can be operated on battery power. The units were first introduced in the 1980s. The version that runs on battery power was not available until the 1990s.
