Home Ultrasound Unit

After some debate about whether it was a worthwhile purchase, I decided to buy a home-use ultrasound unit.  As I mentioned before, I truly believe in the power of ultrasound to create deep heat in your muscles and joints, which ultimately causes cavitation in the cells at a microscopic level, which ultimately makes the blood vessels get bigger. This brings more blood to the affected area, and also helps to carry away more waste, which also helps to eliminate the underlying inflammation, the most important thing. So, after doing some research, and a cost analysis, for me, it was worth the expense.  I have to say, after a week of using it once (and occasionally twice) a day, I think it's really helping, and a lot of my pain in my knee is gone.  I still get pain in my knee on longer and more intense runs, but it's getting much, much better, and I have to think it's a combination of everything I've been doing. 

The unit I purchased appears to be the most common, and from all accounts, the most reliable.  It's sold by the Mend Me Shop, and comes with a special blend of medicated gel.  Yes, the unit is somewhat pricey, but given it's potential use over several years, it's an investment in my overall health and well-being, which I personally can't put a price-tag on. After using it for more than a week, I have nothing but good things to say about this unit!  It has 3 level of intensity, has 3 different timer settings, and has a continuous and pulse setting.  It also came with a detailed instruction manual on how and where to use it.  I'd definitely not be hesitant to recommend this to someone who is dealing with their own aches and pains, and I feel comfortable in the quality of the product.
