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

By Javier Mcnear


Pain relief is an important benefit provided through the use of a portable ultrasound machine. By reducing swelling and edema, rapid improvement is achieved. It increases the blood flow and aids in the healing process.

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 portable unit can be safely used at home by an untrained person because it emits sound waves in a pulsing pattern with intervals between pulses. In spite of being less strong, these are successful in pain relief when they can be used daily. The unit is not only lightweight but also inexpensive enough to be affordable for most people.

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.

Pain alleviation is effective when used for a number of conditions. These include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis and plantar fasciitis. The unit can also be applied in cases of ligament sprains, tendonitis and muscular strains.

These compact units for home use are manufactured by many companies. Shoppers should purchase from a company with a good reputation. In most cases, the buyer will get a one year warranty along with the purchase. Size and weight make these easily transportable units suitable for using at home.

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.
