Hi,
I've been having problems with an inflamed calcaneal bursa which is taking long (8 weeks so far) to heal.
The achilles tendon is fine, and the calf muscles seem ok too. Since it's very hard to massage the bursa effectively (impossible if the retrocalcaneal one is also inflamed, which I don't know), I thought to give ultrasound a try.
I happen to have access to a portable unit with pulses of 1Mhz and power of 0.5 watts per cm square. I would greatly appreciate opinions on whether treatment with such a machine would be useful, as well as an indication of how to conduct the sessions: how long should one session be and how often should it be repeated?
