The Secret of Ultrasound Therapy

Therapeutic Ultrasound is a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves. It is a very high frequency massage that can penetrate up to 4 inches below the surface of your skin.

The benefits from the heating and massaging effects of Therapeutic Ultrasound are significant.

Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy include:

• Increase of blood flow which speeds the healing process
• Reduction in swelling and edema (the main sources of pain)
• Breaks down scar tissue

The MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound device operates at a frequency of 1MHz which means there is deep penetration of sound waves to the affected tissue.

These waves cause the tissue to vibrate, breaking down scar tissue and relieving inflammation. The result of this vibration is a slight increase in the core temperature at the site of the injury. This increase in temperature signals your body to increase blood flow triggering the healing process.

The vibration is not a sensation you will actually feel but the increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the site boosting the body's natural healing response. This causes an increase in tissue flexibility and a decrease in your pain.

How Ultrasound Energy Is Transfered

The Science Explained

How ultrasound energy is transferred into the body is a function of many factors and include both the frequency of the ultrasound waves and the power output of the ultrasound unit.

Ultrasound Frequency

The sound waves emited from the ultrasound unit are very high frequency, typically between 0.8MHz and 2MHz. The sound can not be heard by humans or animals, humans can only hear sounds up to about 20,000Hz.

This very high frequency sound, like medicine, affects very small molecules and cells in the body and actually causes them to move.

The frequency of the ultrasound waves is actually opposite to how deep they will penetrate the body. A 1MHz ultrasound will penetrate about 4" below the skin whereas a 2MHz ultrasound unit will only penetrate about 2".

While a low frequency means deeper penetration, using a frequency too low will mean that the waves are too wide to properly move the molecules. For therapeutic applications, 1MHz is the optimal frequency for both effect and penetration.

Power Output

Power output is another significant factor and is measured in watts per square centimeter. The higher the power, the more energy is transferred into the body.

If too high a power output is used and an ultrasound unit is left sitting still on the body, it is possible to burn the tissue beneath the skin. While several professional ultrasound machines are capable of these high powers, your medical practitioner will typically use a low power setting below 1 watt/centimeter squared.

More power is not necessarily better. Practitioners usually use higher power to speed up treatments. It is actually more effective to use a lower power setting for a longer period of time.

The power output rating is often broken down into two separate units, peak intensity and average intensity.

Peak intensity can be thought of as how tall the waves are that are being sent into your body. The waves need to be large enough to affect the tissue and provide the desired massage effect.

At the same time, your body tissue needs breaks between groups of waves to cool down. So, Ultrasound machines actually send the waves in groups giving your body a vibrate-rest-vibrate-rest effect.

The average intensity is a measure of how much energy is transferred over a period of vibrate-rest cycles.

Ultrasound machines provide a Total Power Output rating. High power units are typically used with large applicator heads to do larger parts of the body. The important measurement part of ultrasound is the watts per square centimeter mentioned above, not the total unit power. Again, it is more effective to treat the affected area more frequently and for longer periods with lower power.

Why Do I Need Ultrasound Gel?

Get Our Exclusive Gel for Phonophoretic Benefits

When applied directly to the skin an ultrasound head cannot effectively transfer the sound waves into the body. To make it work properly, a conductive medium is required - ultrasound gel.

The gel simply makes it possible for the sound waves to travel from the unit head into your body. Ultrasound without gel is ineffective and can damage the ultrasound machine.

How to Get Further Relief with Phonophoresis Therapy

Ultrasound can also be used to administer therapeutic medicines deep into your elbow tendons via the use of medicated ultrasound gel. This is a process known as phonophoresis. Ultrasound with Phonophoresis is rapidly becoming more popular than Ultrasound Therapy alone.

The MendMeShop all natural gel is the only effective topical therapeutic gel that is also a phonophoretic ultrasound gel.

MendMeShop Lavender Infusion ultrasound gel is made with natural medical ingredients that have:

• anesthetic
• counter-irritant
• anti-inflammatory
• analgesic
• decongestant
• circulatory stimulant properties and more

When applied topically and massaged into the skin, MendMeShop Gel relieves pain and speeds healing without any side-effects.

MendMeShop Gel is a professional medical product for professional quality treatments that is prescribed by doctors and used in physical therapy and chiropractic clinics.

If you are not using the MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Ultrasound gel, your epicondylitis treatment is missing the advantages of phonophoresis.

Effective

Therapeutic Ultrasound emits ultrasound waves at a frequency of 1-million vibrations per second (1 MHz). A safe recommended treatment time is typically 10 minutes at three applications per day.

Our online shop offers a safe personal therapeutic ultrasound device for your purchase. This ultrasound technology is the same technology used at your physical therapists office.

When used properly with our ultrasound gel, your personal ultrasound unit has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective treatment device for injuries and ailments.

Soothing

Our personal ultrasound unit comes with our specially formulated ultrasound gel containing Menthol, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Lavender - proven natural pain relievers.

This ultrasound gel is designed to give immediate topical relief. Even better though is that the ultrasound waves drive the pain relieving ingredients deep into the affected tissues.

Medically this process is known as phonophoresis. The end result is that the combination of our ultrasound and the specially formulated gel get to the pain deep under the skin to the injured muscle tissue, tendons and ligaments. It's relief where you need it most.

Versatile

The therapeutic properties of ultrasound and phonophoresis have many applications. Not only is it a recommended Elbow treatment but, you can also use the MendMeShop ultrasound unit to relieve:

• Tendon injuries
• Ligament injuries
• Muscle injuries
• Migraine Headaches
• Tension Headaches
• Whiplash

It is also an amazing anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for:

• Bursitis
• Arthritis
• Nerve Damage

Cost Effective and Convenient

Therapeutic ultrasound delivers the same kind of pain relief and healing benefits as professional ultrasound treatments at the physical therapy office.

When used in conjunction with other physical therapy regimens, users can reduce recurring physical therapy costs and decrease time traveling to inconvenient appointments.

For most injuries and ailments, a cycle of ultrasound therapy usually consists of 5-10 minute treatments 2-3 times per day for the duration of the healing period.

This surprises many people who have gone for single treatments in clinics only 2 or 3 times each week. This has everything to do with the cost and convenience for the customer.

A proper course of therapeutic ultrasound treatments consists of 3 to 10 minute treatments 2 to 4 times per day.
