Ultrasound units are simple to use and very effective for pain relief and for speeding up the recovery process. Simply place the Sophia Flow (tm) on the treatment area and move the ultrasound in circular motions. Ultrasound units help repair scar tissue, reduce swelling and inflammation, increase blood flow, and increase body range of motion.
The portable ultrasound unit generates pulsed high frequency sound waves (1 MHz) that are transferred to specific areas with a sound head probe. The pulsed sound waves travel deep into the tissue generating vasodilation, which helps increase the blood flow to the treated area.
Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels. It happens when smooth muscles found in the walls of arteries or large veins relax, allowing the blood vessels to become more open. This leads to an increase in blood flow through your blood vessels as well as a decrease in blood pressure.
