Using Ultrasound Therapy in the Treatment of Rotator Cuff Injuries


The shoulder is stabilized by a group of muscles and their tendons. This group of muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis), and their tendons, is called the rotator cuff or rotor cuff. The rotator cuff is important in shoulder movement and in maintaining shoulder joint stability.

Muscles and tendons can be irritated or damaged, and as a result, a rotater cuff injury can appear. The shoulder injury may occur suddenly after a specific traumatic injury, such as an acute fall on an outstretched arm and hand. Alternatively, the tendon and muscle inflammation may be due to a chronic injury that gets progressively worse over time because of daily activities that aggravate the shoulder muscles. This chronic shoulder injury is called a repetitive or over use injury. In this type of injury, repeated activities cause damage to the tendons, and might require surgery.

A rotator cuff tear can also develop within the tendons over time due to the tendons wearing thin. This is called tendinitis, which is an inflammation of the muscles. Rotator cuff tendonitis usually happens to those over 40 years of age and who repeatedly do overhead activities. Calcium deposits can also cause rotator cuff tendinitis. Calcium may deposit in the tendons due to decreased oxygen and poor blood supply. Once torn, a rotator cuff has difficulty healing due to its very poor blood supply.

Therapeutic ultrasound modalities have proven to be an effective alternative in the healing of rotator cuff shoulder injuries, because the ultra sound waves increase blood circulation and oxygen to the site of the tear. Basically, ultrasound therapy stimulates tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves. These waves penetrate the skin, increasing the blood supply. When blood supply increases, local swelling and chronic inflammation are reduced. In addition, these sound waves cause the soft tissue to vibrate. These vibrations help to heal, and also reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Rotator cuff ultrasound therapy has shown good results, with pain relief and increased range of motion.

For a rotator cuff disorder, a portable home ultrasound machine can be very beneficial in relieving the pain associated with this condition and speeding the healing process. While ultrasound therapy treatments were once reserved for only professional athletes, it is now possible to treat many painful conditions in the comfort of your own home with a pulsed ultrasound unit.

A soft tissue injury such as a torn rotator cuff requires a specific kind of home ultrasound machine. An ultrasound physical therapy machine for home use should utilize 1Mhz ultra sound waves. The ultrasound device should also have FDA approval and be quality manufactured. You will also want to examine the details of the warranty and ensure that the unit is covered with at least a 1 year warranty.

While a physical therapist's ultrasound machine will use continuous wave ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound is just as effective at treating painful conditions, like a rotator cuff injury, but treatments will be more frequent. You now have the opportunity to treat your torn rotator cuff daily in the comfort of your own home with a portable therapeutic ultrasound machine.

Revolutionary Home Ultrasound Machine Treatment


The home ultrasound machine is an innovative home remedy, from which treatment was once available only to hospitalized patients. This revolutionary home ultrasound machine works the same at home, as it does in the hospitals for therapeutic use. Significantly priced below the hospital ultrasound machines, these home ultrasound machines do not require the overhead cost incurred from hospitalization.

The pain-relieving ultrasound devices work by pulsating ultrasound waves at differing wave lengths that flows out of a hand held wand. Apply the water-soluble gel to the afflicted skin area and use the wand to target the painful soft tissue. There are different power settings on the hand-held wand: low, medium, and high. There is a 30-minute automatic off switch that prevents tissue damage.

Therapeutic ultrasound machines help to alleviate pain, decrease inflammation, and allow for good blood flow to the area for faster healing. The common ailments that the home ultrasound machine treats include neuralgia, arthritis, sports injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, strains and sprains, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, tendonitis, upper and lower back pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, fibromyalgia, and tension headaches.

These therapeutic ultrasound devices do not emit any harmful x-rays, or any other harmful rays, that may be carcinogenic or detrimental to your body tissues. Ultrasound therapy devices do not hurt with treatment or cause bodily discomfort when applied correctly. The documentation that comes with the home ultrasound machine specifies its usage. A general rule of thumb is that you can treat each body area 1 - 3 times per day for up to 15 minutes each treatment. This can be accomplished daily or every other day. The large body parts like the thighs and legs can use the high power setting, and the smaller body parts like the elbows, knees, and hands should use the low to medium settings.

A good ultrasound therapy unit comes with a 1 MHz wand, gel, documentation, and 110/240 V universal plug in a convenient traveling case. This allows for the portability of the home ultrasound device. You can take it traveling when you know you are going to have some new aches and pains from the different hotel beds. You can continue your home ultrasound therapy on the road without interruption or having to reschedule with a physical therapists; or wait to return home. Overall an ultrasound therapy unit is a worthwhile purchase for those with chronic discomfort that require ultrasound treatments or treatments for an acute injury like a pulled back muscle or sprained ankle.

Home Ultrasound Therapy Machines For Fibromyalgia Treatment


Fibromyalgia is a never-ending, health circumstance that is best described by defining its symptoms. These include, but definitely are not limited to: all-over body pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons; numerous sore-to-the-touch areas on the body, or tender points, where even the slightest strain causes immense pain and recurrent tiredness even after lengthy sleep. The indications of Fibromyalgia can vary according to the time of day, weather, stress and/or physical activity. There are no medical tests for Fibromyalgia. Doctors must first rule out all other conditions that could be causing these symptoms before diagnosing a patient with Fibromyalgia.

Experts theorize that people with Fibromyalgia never truly reach the profound restorative phase of sleep, and that is where the exhaustion comes from. Those with the condition can sleep for extensive periods of time and still wake up feeling tired. A couple of sleep disorders associated with Fibromyalgia are Restless-Leg Syndrome and Sleep Apnea.

Experts have also come up with a theory of why those with Fibromyalgia feel pain. They believe those with the condition have a lower limit to pain because of heightened feelings in the brain to pain stimuli. They also believe that those with the condition have repetitive nerve stimulus that causes the brain to change. The brain simply overreacts to pain signs.

The intense, chronic pain and sensitivity in muscles and ligaments experienced by Fibromyalgia sufferers can be debilitating and persistent. Although more common in females, Fibromyalgia can happen to anyone and occur at any time. The largest obstacle with Fibromyalgia is that there is no known cure, which means a lifetime of pain relieving drugs, such as NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or other specialized medications. Such prescriptions can be expensive and have unpleasant side effects.

Other treatment options for Fibromyalgia include, hot and cold packs, stretching, regular exercise and ultrasound therapy. Therapeutic ultrasound for the treatment of fibromyalgia can provide deep tissue stimulation and pain relief. Ultrasound physical therapy can be a very effective way to manage the pain of Fibromyalgia.

Ultrasonic waves penetrate the skin to cause vibrations in tendons and soft tissues, providing gentle deep tissue heating that decreases pain and inflammation to speed healing. Ultrasound therapy increases blood flow and oxygen to tendons as well as relaxes muscles and decreases swelling. Ultrasound can be used as a pain therapy system to control Fibromyalgia pain flare-ups and can now be used in the comfort of your very own home.

Home ultrasound machines are now available for ultrasound Fibromyalgia treatments and rehabilitation. Visits to a chiropractor or physical therapist office for ultrasound physical therapy can be expensive and inconvenient, but it is now possible to rehab Fibromyalgia, and many other chronic injuries, in the comfort of your own home.

Because Fibromyalgia involves soft tissue inflammation, a specific kind of home ultrasound machine is required for treatment. A home ultrasound physical therapy machine should emit 1Mhz ultrasound waves. It is also important to purchase an FDA approved ultrasound unit that is quality manufactured. Your portable therapeutic ultrasound device should also be covered with at least a 1 year warranty.

Because these home ultrasound machines utilize pulsed ultrasound waves, they are very safe for use by the general public. Pulse ultrasound also is just as effective as continuous wave ultrasound that is used by doctors, but in home treatments will just be more often. With a portable therapeutic ultrasound machine, you can treat your bursitis daily when it is most convenient for you.
