The therapist rubbed cream, (hydrocortisone &____)?, then applied ultrasound. The ITB soreness dissapeared in approx. 2 weeks. Sooo, worked for me. Kathy had ultrasound for hamstring soreness and she felt it was great. We'd like to get an appliance that makes ultrasound, like a massage. I suspect it may be dangerous if too much power is applied, ie a hamstring needs much more to be effective than an achilles. Anyway, I haven't seen a device available to buy. Ray Mascia
