1.2 Medical Background
EXPLANATION OF ULTRASONIC STIMULATOR EFFECT
The US 1000 is a Therapeutic ultrasound device that generates pulsed
high frequency sound waves (1MHz) that are transferred to a specific
body are via a sound-headed probe. The Pulsed Sound Waves travel
deep into the tissue to generating vasodilation, which helps increase
blood flow to the treated area.
Therapeutic Ultrasound is found to help relieve pain and reduce
muscle spasms and is the one of the most frequently used therapies
by physicians and physical therapists. Most patients will feel nothing at
all during treatment, while some patients may feel a very slight warmth.
