I've read in a couple places that 2 treatments per day are ok. I only do it once per area a day, just to be extra cautious. The main thing is to move it around while using it. I'm holding my hands and wrist straight now while typing and mousing, that I believe was the main part of the problem. I may try a brace. The us and using better posture seems to be helping. I have aches in other areas, I use it every day now in one spot or another.
I'm still surprised how well it works. I'm also surprised word about this has not gotten around. You don't suppose the fact big pharma spends loads of money on advertising has anything to do with that? We get mostly negative news about pot, vitamins, and no news about us therapy. All those things would cut into big pharma's profits as well as the medical establishment. They say follow the money.

US provides heating deeper within tissues than a heat pack can do. In addition, it seems to increase blood flow, reduce pain, relieve tense muscles and spasms, stimulate the production of collagen which is important in connective tissue as well as the skin. It can speed healing after surgery and reduce scarring, it can also reduce scar tissue that already exists. Its effects seem to be from more than simple heating but its not fully understood.
3 to 5 minutes per session is average, keep the applicator head moving at all times. You can get cheapo's at ebay or amazon for as little as $10 or as much as several hundred. Mine seems to work fine.
