ulta-sound is a "miracle treatment" for tendonitis.

The application of oil and the rubbing with the fixture appear to be a "snake-oil-joke" but with light exercise immediately following the treatment you can feel the pain fade away.

Tendonitis is a curious case. Injury and/or overuse create microscopic crystals within the tendon encloser....everytime the tendon moves within the enclosing sheath the crystals irritate and cut into the tendon. Picture a bicycle brake-line...sheath on the outside, smooth cable inside sliding back and forth when the lever is pressed.....now pour fine beach sand into the smoothly oiled sheath and feel the grit cutting into the cable...that is what is happening to your tendon.

The ultra-sound treatment breaks-up the small cystals and allows them to flow away with use.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
