Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers Find Relief With Portable Ultrasound Machine


by Cody Gardella


The condition plantar fasciitis affects the bottom of the foot where connective tissue is located extending from the heel to the toes. It causes acute pain to that part of the foot. The pain usually occurs when the individual gets up each day. Out of bed in the morning. It can be reduced over time by using the Portable Ultrasound Machine.

Runners who wear shoes that do not provide enough support, obese individuals and pregnant women can be stricken. The onset and development are usually gradual. Plantar fasciitis causes an acute, stabbing pain in the heel.

Pain relief and healing can be achieved through ultrasound applications. These applications reduce the pain and assist in the healing process. In fact, it can promote a more rapid healing of foot and ankle injuries. In some cases healing is twice as fast.

Sound waves deliver the deep tissue heat that causes vibrations in tendons and soft tissue. It also relaxes the muscles. Swelling is decreased due to increased blood flow. The pain alleviation can now be facilitated using a smaller version of the machine that is made for home use.

The smaller unit is compact and affordable. It delivers the type of heat necessary to combat the pain without making a trip to the chiropractors office. It can be used on a daily basis, offering pain relief. Benefits include faster healing, in only two to four weeks in many cases.

At one time the safety of using the portable machine without training was questioned. People were somewhat skeptical of its use by an inexperienced individual. However, it is explained that, while the professional size model delivers a continuous wave, the small, home model delivers a series of pulsed waves. Although much weaker, the pulsed waves are effective since they can be used daily.

When purchasing and preparing to use a Portable Ultrasound Machine there are features to consider. It should emit waves of 1Mhz. It should be FDA approved and manufactured by a reliable maker. For financial protection it should be covered by a one-year warranty. It will be a major convenience to have the benefits of this machine available each day right in the comfort of home.
