Default Re: Tendonitis help

I had tendonitis back in high school on my ankle due to an injury. It wasn't too severe however treatment from the athletic trainers was ultrasound, pretty much what they use to see babies, on the area for 10-15 minutes everyday. Ultrasound is used to break down scar tissue around the tendon. Ultrasound uses sound waves that vibrate at a very high level to increase circulation and soften the affected area. You only feel a bit warm around the area during, but that's all. I don't know what treatment is from doctors but it took me a couple months to recover about 75%-80% and a couple more to fully recover.
