Introduction:

Sonopuncture is based on the same principles of acupuncture; however as opposed to the manipulation of needles in the skin, sound waves are used instead of these needles. For sonopuncture special sound heads, some similar looking to tuning forks, are used to generate a beam of inaudible ultra-sound. These devices can produce concentrated beams of sound that range from two to five millimeters in width.

The principle of Sonopuncture:

The human ear can hear sound waves with frequencies between 20 to 20,000 cycles per second. Sound waves with a frequency above twenty thousand cycles per second are too high pitched to be heard by human ears and are called ultrasound, and range from various frequencies between 750,000 to 1,000,000 cycles per second.

Sonopuncture is also a very good at healing tissue.  Applying the sound head over the area that is infected, like a small abscess or a wound that is not healing, improves the blood circulation in the area being treated and causes an increase in white blood cells and antibodies in area.

Sonopuncture is very good at breaking up areas with a reduced blood supply, like fibrous tissue or connective tissue, and helps to heal and remove that scar tissue by breaking down the fibrous tissue with an increase in blood supply, thus improving and speeding up the healing process.

Benefits of Sonopuncture:

• Are interested in acupuncture, but can’t tolerate needles
• Have sensitive skin that has been irritated by acupuncture in the past.
• Have found traditional medical treatments to be ineffective for their medical conditions and chronic pain.
• Can cure all types of infections
• Removing wrinkles, scars and rejuvenating skin
• Varicose veins
• Spinal problems
• Asthma and bronchial problems
• Prostate problems

Conclusion:

Research has shown that ultrasound stimulation, via the use of tuning forks, applied to specific acupuncture points for a minute or less, has the same effectiveness as traditional acupuncture. The ultrasound waves penetrate deep into the body’s tissues to generate healing and can be used for people of all ages safely and non-invasively. An additional benefit of sonopuncture treatment is that it does not cause the irritation to the skin that often comes with acupuncture.
