One of my friends, who happens to be a local hockey and football coach, recommended a portable ultrasound device for me not to long ago. I have not yet purchased one, I am waiting for someone to buy it for me for my upcoming birthday.
I have received ultrasound treatments in the past for a back injury, achilles tendonitis, and a hamstring issue (likely a microtear). Instead of spending time and money attending physiotherapy sessions, I also set out to find a good home ultrasound device. I had a hard time finding one, until my friend had mentioned he purchased an ultrasound unit from a company in Canada to use for himself and for some of the athletes he coaches.
The ultrasound he recommends is available at MendMeShop.com
In spending a large amount of time in researching portable ultrasound units, I do believe this company is the real deal. A 45 day money back guarantee and 7 day a week customer service. Best of all, the device has three intensity outputs, three timer settings, and has a frequency of 1 Mhz, which means the ultrsound should reach depths of 3 inches or so.
If you are still in the market for an ultrasound, I suggest you check them out.
