Ultrasound Therapy Machines for Home and Clinic Use

Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves above the range of human hearing, delivered through a handheld head. It is designed to give gentle warmth to the area under the head, and is intended for temporary relief of muscle and joint discomfort. Physical therapists have used it for many years, and portable devices now let people use it at home.

Dr. Franklyn's is a Brooklyn, New York family business with more than 25 years of experience in health, wellness, orthopedic support and rehabilitation products. Every product page lists specifications, instructions and safety information so you can choose with confidence, and our team is available to answer questions before you order.

How Ultrasound Therapy Works

An ultrasound therapy machine has a main unit and a treatment head. You apply a water-based coupling gel to the skin, place the head on the area and move it slowly in small circles. The gel helps carry the sound waves into the skin, and the unit usually has a timer that stops the session. Results vary from person to person, and ultrasound therapy is a comfort tool rather than a cure.

Home Ultrasound Therapy

Home ultrasound therapy is designed for convenience, so you can follow a routine your clinician recommends without travelling to a clinic each time. Always read the manual, keep sessions within the recommended time, and ask a healthcare professional before you start, especially if you have a medical condition or recent injury.

Therapeutic Ultrasound Device

A therapeutic ultrasound device is a handheld unit designed for use on muscles and soft tissue. The 3-in-1 Ultrasound Therapy Device with Infrared Light & EMS combines ultrasound, infrared light and EMS in one portable unit. It is designed for use following the instructions in its manual.

The Ultrasound Therapy Wand is also listed in this range.

Ultrasound Therapy Machine

An ultrasound therapy machine can be a small portable unit or a larger table-top device. When you compare machines, look at the specifications rather than the name: frequency, intensity control, treatment modes, head size and timer all affect how the device is used.

Physiotherapy Ultrasound Machine

A physiotherapy ultrasound machine is the kind of equipment physical therapists use in clinics, usually with more settings and a larger treatment head. If you run a practice and want to talk about the right equipment for your patients, please contact our team and tell us what you need.

What to Look For in an Ultrasound Therapy Device

• Frequency: check which frequencies the device offers, listed in MHz

• Intensity control: adjustable output so sessions stay within the manual's limits

• Treatment modes: continuous and pulsed options, if listed

• Treatment head size: a larger head covers more area, a smaller one suits small spots

• Timer and auto shut-off: so sessions stop on their own

• Coupling gel: check whether it is included, and which gel the manual recommends

• Manual and warranty: clear instructions, and warranty coverage of up to 1 year

Using an Ultrasound Therapy Device Safely

• Use coupling gel every time, and never run the head dry
• Keep the head moving, and do not hold it in one spot
• Follow the session time and intensity in the manual, and do not exceed them
• Clean the head with a suitable wipe after each session
• Stop if you feel pain, burning or discomfort

Who Should Ask a Doctor First

Ultrasound therapy is not suitable for everyone. Ask a healthcare professional before use if you:

• Are pregnant, or would be treating the abdomen or lower back during pregnancy
• Have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, or metal implants in the area
• Have, or have had, a blood clot or deep vein thrombosis
• Have cancer or an infection in the area, or broken or irritated skin
• Have reduced sensation or nerve damage in the area
• Are treating a child, whose growing bones need special care
• Would be using it near the eyes, heart, front of the neck or head

Combination devices that include EMS are not for use with pacemakers or other implanted devices unless a doctor says so.
