Ultrasound is the best form of heat treatment for soft
tissue injuries.
It is used to treat joint and muscle sprains, bursitis, and
tendonitis.
Ultrasound treatment is used to:
.•relieve pain and inflammation
.• speed healing
.• reduce muscle spasms and
.• increase range of motion
Ultrasound makes high frequency sound waves. The sound
waves vibrate tissues deep inside the injured area. This
creates heat that draws more blood into the tissues.
The tissues then respond to healing nutrients brought
in by the blood and the repair process begins.
Sound waves are pulsed at the area
at a very high rate per second. These waves stimulate
your joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and other tissues
providing targeted pain relief without drugs or surgery.
The sound waves penetrate the skin and surface layers
and cause the soft tissue to vibrate, producing gentle
healing vibrations within the affected area that soothe
inflammation and relieve pain.
Ultrasound waves also cause tissues to relax and increase
blood flow to help reduce local swelling and chronic
inflammation.
Increased blood flow also delivers more oxygen and nutrients
to the tissue, removes cell waste and aids healing. |
Who Can Use Ultrasound Therapy?
Ahletes have used ultrasound therapy for years - ultrasound
is what allows them to get back in the game quickly after
they injure themselves.
Normaly ultrasound therapy was only available to those
who could afford expensive, professional-grade machines
or 3-times daily access to a physiotherapist.
Now, everyone can benefit from access to the exact same
technology, as often as necessary,
at a fraction of the price.
Treatment is given with a soundhead that is moved gently
in strokes or circles over the injured area. It lasts just
a few minutes. The procedure may be performed with the
soundhead alone or combined with a topical anti-inflammatory
gel.
Whether you're a senior citizen, an athlete or just someone
experiencing pain, ultrasound therapy is safe to use and
is a great treatment option for many of your aches and
pains. |
Mechanical effect - high frequency vibration
The effect of ultrasound as it advances through the medium.
Ultrasonic vibration can cause the movement of substances
in tissue cells. Due to the fine massage of ultrasound,
the cytoplasm flows, cells oscillate, rotate, rub, and
thus produce cell massage, also known as "internal
massage".
The mechanical action of ultrasound softens tissue, enhances
penetration, increases metabolism, promotes blood circulation,
and stimulates nervous system and cell function.
Warming effect - warming
Human tissue has a relatively large absorption power for
ultrasonic energy. Therefore, when ultrasonic waves are propagated
in human tissues, their energy is continuously absorbed by
tissues to become heat, and as a result, the temperature
of the tissues themselves is increased.
The heat production process is an energy conversion process
in which mechanical energy is converted into heat energy
in a medium, which is called endogenous heat. Ultrasound
warming can increase blood circulation, accelerate metabolism,
improve
local tissue nutrition, and enhance enzyme activity.
Physical and chemical effects - cavitation
Both the mechanical and thermodynamic effects of ultrasound
can trigger several physical and chemical changes.
Cavitation forms, or maintains a stable one-way vibration,
or secondary expansion to collapse, cell function changes,
and intracellular calcium levels increase. Fibroblasts are
activated, protein synthesis is increased, vascular permeability
is increased, angiogenesis is accelerated, and collagen tension
is increased.
Under ultrasound, the gel can be transformed into a sol state,
a softening effect on muscles, tendons, and some pathological
changes associated with tissue water deficit. Such as rheumatoid
arthritis and treatment of degenerative lesions of joints,
tendons and ligaments.
Ultrasound can affect blood flow, produce inflammation, inhibit
and play an anti-inflammatory effect. |
