Hello Jeri,

Therapeutic ultrasound treatment is a great option to reduce pain, tension and inflammation for those individuals suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Ultrasound therapy is actually fairly well known for its’ anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) effects. Many physicians and physical therapists administer therapeutic ultrasound treatments when helping individuals suffering from RA to manage their pain and discomfort.

By administering MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound treatments up to 2 times a day, 7 days a week (for approximately 5 minutes on a M or H setting) your sister in-law can gain therapeutic benefits from the non-thermal and thermal effects of portable ultrasound.

The primary benefit of a portable ultrasound treatment is the non-thermal effect, which is a deep tissue massaging effect that can be received when the sound waves emitted from the transducer head cause vibrations on a cellular level. As the cells vibrate any scar tissue apparent in the joint affected by RA will break down and soften to increase flexibility and mobility. The second benefit is the thermal effect – which is warmth that is generated as a byproduct of the cellular vibrations (i.e. vibration and ultimately friction generates warmth). This thermal effect increases the flow of oxygen and nutrient rich blood to the site of the treated area and will help to reduce inflammation in the surrounding joint.

Please feel free to contact us toll free at 1-866-237-9608 or phone us directly at 1-705-445-3505 if you or your sister in-law have any additional questions or concerns about treating pain associated with RA with our portable ultrasound. I hope I have shed some light on the wonderful benefits of using Therapeutic Ultrasound to treat pain and inflammation from RA and I wish your sister in-law the best of luck in managing her RA.

Sincerely,

Allison
