Ultrasound Therapy Handheld Unit for Relief from Aching Joints and Muscles

What is ultrasound?

Ultrasound machines use mechanical vibrations at increasing frequencies which is known as sound energy. The sound waves are too high for the human ear to hear. These ultrasound waves travel from the device through the skin and into the body. Gel is used between the sound head of the ultrasound machine and the skin to help the sound waves enter your body.

How does ultrasound work?

Ultrasound waves produce energy from the vibrations which creates the effect of deep heat in your muscles and joints. The deep heat of ultrasound increases the blood flow to the area being treated. This blood brings nutrients and carries away waste. This helps to promote healing and decreases swelling. The heat produced can also help muscles to relax which has a therapeutic effect.
