How does a home ultrasound machine compare to the one used by my physical therapist/ doctor?
Home Ultrasound Therapy using a portable ultrasound machine can be very effective, just as effective as medical or professional ultrasound units. The difference between a chiropractor of doctor’s ultrasound machine and a home ultrasound machine is the doctor’s ultrasound device utilizes continuous waves while a home version uses pulsed ultrasonic waves. This makes the home units safe for the general public, as continuous wave ultrasound can be dangerous if used in the wrong hands. When using a home ultrasound therapy massage machine, you will treat more frequently than if you were have ultrasound treatments at a physical therapist’s office, but the results will be the same and in the long run, you will save money by doing treatments in the comfort of your own home.
