Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy - ultrasound therapy

Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy is a personal therapeutic ultrasound device. As with the SCENAR, the Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy has a strong reputation as an alternative pain relief and pain management device.

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a therapeutic treatment method utilizing sound waves to treat pain, inflammation and muscle spasm. Ultrasound therapy has been used by physical therapists since the 1940s.

How does it work?

Ultrasound waves in the Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy device are applied to tissues using a round-headed wand or transducer. Ultrasound gel is used on the skin in order to reduce friction and act as a conductor of the ultrasonic waves. Therapeutic ultrasound of the Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy device is in the frequency range of about 0.8-1.0 MHz (millions of vibrations/second).

A typical Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy treatment will take from 5-10 minutes. During the treatment the head of the Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy ultrasound probe is kept in constant motion. If kept in constant motion, the patient should feel no discomfort at all. If the Sonic Relief Portable Pain Therapy probe is held in one place for more than just a few seconds, a build up of the sound energy can result which can become uncomfortable.
