Recently I decided to purchase my own home ultrasound machine. This decision was based upon a number of factors, the most influential being that I was tired of dealing with traffic and hours of commuting back and forth from my doctor’s office. The cost of transportation – especially with our rising gasoline costs just about justified the purchase entirely. My doctor was a bit hesitant wondering if a home ultrasound unit would be as effective as the model he used at his facility. However, we were both pleasantly surprised to see that my personal, home ultrasound machine was every bit as effective as his. Since I had my own unit, it became an easy part of my daily routine to include ultrasound treatments on my injured leg.
The ultrasound treatments helped my injury to heal much faster than I ever anticipated and also provided some relief to the pain I experienced. Once I added phonophoresis gel to this solution, I had a powerful way to overcome pain – in fact I no longer needed by pain pills. Phonophoresis gel is a unique topical medication that provides a more direct and effective means of supplying pain medicine right to the affected tissues.
