Ultrasound Massager For Healing
|
Pressure on nerve tissue is a common cause of pain. Pain is a signal our body sends to warn us that something is wrong. It's a necessary warning system for our survival. Once the cause of the pain has been determined treatment is generally the next step and alleviating the pain. Most of us are familiar with the ultrasound through pregnancy. But there are many other uses and one of the newest uses is in a therapeutic manner as a massager for healing. This is a non invasive treatment that uses standard ultrasound equipment to provide a therapeutic benefit. The transducer is applied directly to the affected area where it penetrates deep into your tissue. It increases the temperature which then increases blood flow which then relaxes muscles and helps to repair damaged tissue and speed up the healing process. This is an excellent non invasive and safe treatment. You can obtain the treatment at a physiotherapist's office or with a prescription you can purchase your own massager to use at home. These units are available to buy online. In fact a quick visit to eBay will show you prices ranging from $50 to $200 depending on the equipment maker and options. Look for a reputable company. The frequency should be 1 MHz pulsed using 110 volt AC power source. Warranty is important too. Compare products to ensure you are getting the best buy. There are other therapies that are gaining popularity such as the TENS which is referred to as the electronic aspirin. This treatment causes endorphins to be released which suppress pain signals from making it to the brain. An endorphin release has a slow acting effect. TENS is applied directly to the skin and a pulse repeats itself at a low repetition of ten pulses every second. It takes about 25 minutes to release enough endorphins to be able to release pain. TENS machines can also be bought from a variety of sources just as the ultrasound massagers can and follow the same rules for buying as you would with the massager. When we are in pain we tend to look to our doctor for prescription drugs to reduce or eliminate that pain. But sometimes there are much safer and even more effective treatments that can be used. There are times when we have no choice but to take prescription drugs however it always pays to check out all the alternatives for reducing pain, especially muscle, bone, and tissue pain. You will be pleasantly surprised and impressed with the many options that have found their way to market. So whether you are considering hypnotherapy, using a TENS machine or trying an ultrasound massager the only way to find out what works for you is to have an open mind and try different options until you find one that's right for you.
