1. An ultrasound apparatus for applying ultrasound waves over a treated area by mechanically moving the ultrasound transducer comprising:
an ultrasound transducer, connected by wiring, for dispersing ultrasound waves;
a shaft for holding said transducer;
an electric actuator for spinning a crank, wherein said shaft is eccentrically attached to said crank for rotatably whirling said transducer in circles;
a stabilizer, attached to said shaft for leading said wiring of said ultrasound transducer, and for holding said shaft, when said actuator whirls said transducer;
a first linear bearing for guiding said stabilizer while said stabilizer slides up and down in said first linear bearing, wherein said stabilizer holds said shaft in the position normal to said first linear bearing for reducing the twisting of said wiring, of said ultrasound transducer, when said actuator whirls said transducer; and
a control unit, logically connected to said electric actuator, for receiving instructions, from the user, and for controlling the whirling of said ultrasound transducer, by controlling said electric actuator, for performing said instructions.
