Home Use Physical Therapeutic Ultrasond Physiotherapy Machine for body pain Relief

therapeutic Ultrasound device is used by professionals and physiotherapists to treat pain conditions and to promote tissue healing. Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves that are above the range of human hearing to treat injuries like muscle strains or runner’s knee. There are many flavors of therapeutic ultrasound with different intensities and different frequencies but all share the basic principle of “stimulation”. 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:

How Ultrasound is effective in chronic pain?

One of the most widely used modalities in the field of physiotherapy for treating chronic pain and Low Back Pain (LBP) is therapeutic ultrasound. Therapeutic ultrasound is used frequently by many physiotherapists around the world. It is a one-way energy delivery which utilizes a crystal sound head to transmit acoustic waves at 1 or 3 MHz. The heating, thus generated, is proposed to increase nerve conduction velocity, alter local vascular perfusion, increase enzymatic activity, alter contractile activity of skeletal muscle, and increase nociceptive threshold.

Ultrasound therapy is frequently used in the treatment of knee, shoulder and hip pain and is often combined with other therapeutic modalities. The treatment usually takes 2-6 treatment sessions and thus ideally lowers pain.

Waht is Ultasound Physiotherapys  Machine

For medical applications, shock waves succeed in healing faster compared to ultrasound. This is done by supplying the treatment area with a high intensity energy in a short period of time and with synergistic effects at both macro and micro tissue levels. To obtain the same amount of energy from ultrasound (without the guarantee of healing success), it would be necessary to supply the relatively low power energy generated by ultrasound for much longer periods of time and in increased number of treatment sessions. The result of the longer treatment time would be storage of energy in tissue, with concomitant heating and tissue degradation, which practically eliminates this option. The alternative is to give small dosages of energy in increased number of treatments, which is harder to achieve due to poor patient compliance. Patients in general do not like to come by the doctor’s office for many treatments and the increased financial burden created by additional treatments represents another deterrent for majority of the patients, which results in poor compliance.
 

Ultrasound physiotherapy Therapy Effect

The effect of therapeutic ultrasound via an increase in local blood flow may help reduce local swelling and
chronic inflammation, and, according to some studies,promote bone fracture healing. The intensity or power
density of the ultrasound can be adjusted depending onthe desired effect. A higher power density (measured in
watt/cm2) may soften or breakdown scar tissue.
 

How does the patient benefit from ultrasound?

As the probe glides over the skin's surface, sound waves penetrate the skin's surface causing soft tissues to vibrate, creating heat. In turn, the heat induces vasodilation: drawing blood into the target tissues. Increased blood flow delivers needed oxygen and nutrients, and removes cell wastes.

The heat helps relieve pain and inflammation, reduce muscle spasms, and accelerate healing. Depending on the treatment area, range of motion may be increased.

* Plantar fasciitis.
 

Precautions in Ultrasound Treatment
 
 
Always use the lowest intensity which produces a therapeutic response
The head of the applicators should be moving throughout the treatment
The ultrasound beam (treatment head) should be perpendicular to the treatment area for best results.
All parameters (intensity, duration, and mode) need to be considered carefully for desired therapeutic effects.

 
Parameters
 

 

 
Ultasound wave Principle:
 
1.Mechanical function: the ultrasound have the [micro massage" to the tissue substance and tiny cell. It could soften tissue, enhance penetration, improve metabolism, promote blood circulation, stimulate nerve system and cell, relief pain.
 
2.Heating function: it forms heat during ultrasound therapy, so it is also called
as"ultrasound diathermy therapy". it is deep heating, that penetrate below the muscle.
Thus, ultrasound therapy is applied to chronic soft tissue pain, arthritis, rheumatism.
 
3.Physical therapy function: based on the mechanical and heating function,
it will trigger physical therapy.
