- Ultrasound
Used to provide a deep heating therapy to soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments, our technicians can greatly improve circulation and healing time with gentle accuracy. By increasing tissue temperature we can promote healing and recovery of frozen joints, tight tendons, sprains and tears. While at the same time decreasing pain and promoting muscle and tendon elasticity.
How does it feel during Ultrasound Therapy?
Some people may feel a mild pulsing during ultrasound therapy, while others might feel a slight warmth on the skin. However people may feel nothing at all besides the cold gel that has been applied on the skin. In exceptional cases, if your skin is too much sensitive to touch, you could possibly feel discomfort as the ultrasound applicator passes over the skin. Therapeutic Ultrasound, however, is never painful.
To be honest, ultrasound therapy is not effective for all chronic pain conditions, but it does help you if you have any of the following:
- Osteoarthritis
- Myofascial pain
- Bursitis
- Sprains and strains
- Phantom limb pain
Science behind Ultrasound Therapy
With years of being a Therapeutic Ultrasound Manufacturer, the device we manufacture generally comprises of a unit to control parameters and a quartz crystal transducer (head/applicator) attached to it. Ultrasound therapy causes mechanical vibrations, from high frequency sound waves, on skin and soft tissue via an aqueous solution (Gel). A gel is applied either to the applicator head or to the skin, which helps the sound waves to evenly penetrate the skin.
The ultrasound applicator converts power from the device into acoustic power that can cause thermal or non-thermal effects. The sound waves creates microscopic stimulation in the deep tissue molecules that increases heat and friction. The warming effect encourages and promotes healing in the soft tissues by increasing the metabolism at the level of the tissue cells. The parameters such as frequency, time duration and intensity are set on the device by the professionals.
