WHAT IS THE ULTRASIX?

Acoustic waves vibrate at a frequency not audible to the human ear, i.e. 20000 Hertz. The sound, in fact, has elastic characteristics that generate an oscillating movement. This vibration produces a series of compressions and refractions that spreads in the form of a sound wave.

WHAT IS ULTRASOUND THERAPY?

In ultrasound therapy High-frequency sound waves are used, they are also known as therapeutic ultrasound, to treat a variety of clinical conditions. Therapeutic ultrasound focuses on delivering controlled energy to specific tissues for therapeutic purposes, as opposed to diagnostic ultrasound, which produces images of internal structures.

HOW DOES ULTRASOUND THERAPY WORK?

The concepts of sound wave propagation and energy absorption are the foundation of ultrasound therapy.

Sound Wave Generation/ Using a transducer: ultrasound therapy devices produce high-frequency sound waves that are typically between 1 and 3 megahertz. Inaudible to the human ear, this transducer emits sound waves.

Transmission via Tissues: A conductive gel is placed on the skin, which directs the sound waves into the patient's body. The gel guarantees effective transmission and eliminates air pockets that can obstruct the therapy.

Sound Waves: The sound waves enter the body's soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These particles cause heat and minuscule vibrations as they pass through the tissues. These therapeutic benefits are caused by the heat and mechanical energy.

Biological Responses: The ultrasound therapy's energy can cause a number of biological reactions in the area being treated. These include greater tissue flexibility, less muscular spasms, elevated blood flow, and improved cellular repair mechanisms.

Dosing and Frequency: The therapist carefully monitors the ultrasonic therapy dose, varying the length and intensity according to the particular condition being treated.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ULTRASOUND THERAPY?

PAIN

RELIEF

TISSUE HEALING

NON INVASIVE

REDUCED INFLAMMATION

IMPROVED CIRCULATION

MUSCLE RELAXATION

The adaptability and efficiency of ultrasound therapy in treating a range of medical disorders are highly regarded. There is a long list of benefits that come with ultrasound therapy, which has made it a popular choice of treatment in recent years.

Conditions including arthritis, muscular strains, and joint inflammation can all be treated with ultrasound therapy to reduce discomfort. Muscles can be relaxed, leading do a reduction in pain for the patient created by the heat produced by ultrasound therapy. It is also thought that ultrasound therapy promotes tissue regrowth and repair. It is great for the recovery of soft tissues with speedy recovery.

The application of ultrasound therapy may improve blood flow to the area being treated. Increased circulation encourages the supply of nutrients and oxygen to tissues, promoting healing. And for illnesses like bursitis and tendinitis, the sound waves generated during therapy can aid in reducing inflammation in the treated area.

Ultrasound therapy is non-invasive and does not require incisions, in contrast to surgical techniques. Therefore it is considered a safe frontline treatment option. Ultrasound therapy helps relieve problems that are characterised by muscular spasms or stiffness by calming the muscles and enhancing their flexibility.

EVIDENCE FOR THE APPLICATION OF ULTRASOUND THERAPY

SOFT TISSUE INJURIES
OSTEOARTHRITIS
TENDON HEALING

PAIN MANAGEMENT
MUSCLE SPASMS
WOUND HEALING

There are numerous applications of the ultrasound therapy. Some key conclusions from studies are as follows:

Studies have revealed that ultrasound therapy helps speed the recovery of soft tissue injuries including sprains and strains. It accomplishes this by encouraging collagen synthesis and tissue remodelling. It has also been demonstrated that ultrasound therapy reduces pain and enhances joint function in people with osteoarthritis. It can aid in lowering joint inflammation and stiffness.

Research has shown that ultrasound therapy is effective in promoting tendon healing. In problems like Achilles tendinitis, it also speeds up the healing process. To treat chronic pain disorders, ultrasound therapy is frequently employed in pain management clinics. It has the potential to be very beneficial in easing trigger point or myofascial pain syndrome discomfort.

Ultrasound therapy has occasionally been used to promote wound healing, particularly for ulcers or chronic wounds and for people who have muscle spasms, ultrasound therapy can relieve pain by relaxing the muscles which reduce the miscue spasms leading to pain relief.
