Individuals 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 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.



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.



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.



The small and lightweight model makes this home application for pain reduction possible. The units are produced by numerous manufacturers. A reliable company will include a warranty for at least a year with each machine sold.



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.
