Are You Getting The Most Out Of Your Ultrasound?

Many ultrasound users undergo treatment for one specific injury or disease. But if you have your own ultrasound unit at home, you could be using it for a variety of healing purposes. Here is how you can get the most out of your MendMeShop Ultrasound unit in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

1. Ultrasound heals tendon, muscle and ligament injuries
   Ultrasound helps to reduce swelling and edema around injured tendons, muscles and ligaments which in turn greatly reduces your pain. As well, the ultrasound will relax the tissue and increase flexibility in the joint. Frequent ultrasound treatments (up to 3 x per week during the first stages of treatment) will significantly reduce scar tissue and the time required to heal.
2. Ultrasound protects against injury - Athletes use it, why shouldn't you?
   Most professional athletes use ultrasound to protect against injury. An ultrasound treatment during the warm-up process prepares the tissue for the physical demands of strenuous activity. When used during the cool-down process ultrasound soothes and relaxes tired muscles and tissue, working to repair any minor tears. Athletes with chronic ailments will use ultrasound to promote circulation to the injured area and to reduce swelling and pain.
3. Ultrasound treats your chronic pain
   When chronic pain interrupts your daily activities, it can be frustrating. Ultrasound can help by reducing the swelling and pain caused by chronic arthritis, bursitis, carpal and tarsal tunnel syndrome, and swollen discs. With acute bursitis and tunnel syndromes the pain can be reduced, and possibly eliminated with a proper regime of ultrasound.
4. Ultrasound relieves muscle tension and trigger points
   People who experience muscle tension headaches and migraines use ultrasound on the back of the neck and across the upper back to release the trigger points and alleviate the pain. To read more about tension headaches caused from tense back and neck muscles, go to AidMyHeadache.com.
