Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy  is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain. During the therapy, a small device called a transducer is applied to the skin, emitting sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues.

How Ultrasound Therapy Works

1. Mechanical Vibration

How It Works:

Ultrasound waves cause micro-vibrations within tissues, which improves cellular activity and promotes healing. This mechanical action can help break down scar tissue and adhesions.

Effect:

Mechanical vibrations stimulate cellular processes, enhancing tissue repair and promoting faster healing of injured muscles and tendons.

The micro-vibrations help break down scar tissue and adhesions, improving mobility and reducing stiffness in affected areas.

The micro-vibrations help break down scar tissue and adhesions, improving mobility and reducing stiffness in affected areas.

2. Thermal Effect

How It Works:

The sound waves generate heat in deeper tissues, increasing blood flow and relaxing tight muscles. This effect helps to reduce stiffness and improve flexibility in joints and muscles.

Effect:

The thermal effect reduces pain by soothing nerve endings and decreasing muscle tension, providing relief from both acute and chronic pain conditions.

The deep tissue heating relaxes tight muscles, reducing stiffness and improving flexibility, which is beneficial for joint and muscle injuries.

The heat generated by ultrasound waves improves circulation, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, promoting faster healing.

3. Cavitation

How It Works:

Ultrasound waves cause micro-vibrations within tissues, which improves cellular activity and promotes healing. This mechanical action can help break down scar tissue and adhesions.

Effect:

Cavitation can help break down scar tissue, improving tissue flexibility and reducing stiffness or discomfort in areas with adhesions.

The expansion and contraction of these bubbles promote fluid exchange, helping to reduce swelling and inflammation in affected areas.

Cavitation creates small gas bubbles within tissues, stimulating cellular repair processes and enhancing the healing of injured or damaged tissues.
