The Richmar home ultrasound 1000 – 3rd Edition is a therapeutic ultrasound device that generates deep ultrasonic waves within body tissues to treat pain, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness. This modality is commonly used in physiotherapy, chiropractic clinics and by athletic therapists for various injuries.
Unlike electrical modalities, ultrasound is unique in that the longitudinal waveform associated with sound is not electromagnetic in nature. The piezoelectric crystal converts electrical energy into a strong vibratory sound wave, or ultrasound, a sound beyond the normal range of human hearing. Sound waves cause vibration in soft tissue cells, increasing temperature, and inducing vasodilation, to give you the relief you need – all controllable with 3 different power output settings!
Treatment duration and settings can be determined by your health care practitioner. We also offer free advice from our physiotherapists to our customers who have purchased a home ultrasound unit.
Treatment duration ranges from 5-15 minutes depending on the conditions treated and anatomic target site. Because air is a very poor sound conductor, you require ultrasound gel between the head of the ultrasound and the skin to conduct the sound wave energy to the skin.
