Therapeutic Ultrasound

by jimbo1967, Jul 15, 2008 10:09AM

My doctor has recommended Therapeutic Ultrasound to treat my newly diagnosed arthritis. I am 41 years old and quite active. I didn't want to take meds because I often feel side effects. I have been prescribed a Sonic Relief device and have to treat myself a couple of times a day. Are there any dangers associated with this device, does anyone have any experience with ultrasound?

Hi jimbo and welcome to the forum! While I have not used one of these myself, I have heard wonderful things about these devices. From what I understand, as long as you follow the directions and heed the cautions you will be fine.
I would love to hear about your experience with it so please do write back and share.
