Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers Find Relief With Portable Ultrasound Machine

By Cody Gardella


The bottom of the feet are the location of a connective tissue called plantar fascia. It is the connection between the heel and toes. A condition called plantar fasciitis causes acute pain when the individual takes his first few steps each morning. Now there is a Portable Ultrasound Machine available for reducing the pain.

Overweight people, pregnant women and joggers can be afflicted. The joggers who do not wear supportive running shoes are susceptible. Usually onset and development are gradual. The plantar fasciitis is described as causing a sharp, stabbing pain on the bottom of the foot.

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.

Heat causing vibrations to the tendons and soft tissue deliver pain relief and relax the muscles. The swelling that accompanies the condition is decreased because the blood flow is increased. A portable home model can deliver these pain alleviating benefits in the home.

The home model is compact and reasonably priced, yet delivers the same heat that reduces the pain without keeping an appointment. Having it available in the home makes it possible to use it every day. The benefits are lessening the pain quicker and speeding up the healing, which can take place in two to four weeks on average.

At one time the safety of use by an untrained person was in doubt. But the portable unit does not deliver a continuous sound wave as the professional one does. Instead it delivers a series of pulsing waves. The effectiveness of the home unit is that it can be used on a daily basis.

There are specific details to be considered before purchasing a Portable Ultrasound Machine. The wave length should be 1Mhz. It should be manufactured by a reputable company and have FDA approval. The individual suffering from plantar fasciitis will have a convenient source of pain relief on hand when he can use the unit on a daily basis in the comfort of his home.
