Ultrasound Treatment is commonly used in physical therapy to relieve pain and inflammation, increase range of motion, reduce muscle spasms and to speed in the healing process of many common injuries. This ultrasound unit is great for mobile physical therapy services, start up clinics, at home use by patients, or as a backup or 2nd unit for your office.

The ProMed Portable Ultrasound Machine generates deep heat through a piezoelectric crystal sound head. The piezoelectric crystal converts electrical energy into a strong vibratory sound wave or “ultrasound”, a sound beyond the normal range of human hearing. Sound waves cause vibration of the cells in the soft tissue, increasing temperature and inducing vasodilation. When used as indicated, little or no heat is felt on the surface of the skin of the ultrasound patient.

Ultrasound therapy machines should always be used with ultrasound gel. The ultrasound gel helps to transfer the sound waves into the body during treatment. Using the machine with out the gel could damage the ultrasound device and lower the effectiveness of the therapy.
