ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is used for therapeutically treating injuries using ultrasound. The apparatus includes an ergonomically constructed ultrasonic transducer treatment head module and a portable, ergonomically constructed main operating unit. The transducer treatment head module is positioned adjacent the area of the injury and excited for a predetermined period of time. The apparatus includes means for positioning and holding the treatment head module adjacent positions on the torso of the body, such as the clavicle, the pelvis, the hip and the spine.
