Ultrasound physiotherapy treatment can be used to treat joint inflammation and lower back pain, for example, which can stimulate the cascade of inflammation and reduce pain, muscle fusion and spasms.
Ultrasonic physiotherapy can be used in two ways:
- Ultrasonic physiotherapy is a very effective type of treatment that does not cause pain.
- The number of physical therapy sessions varies depending on the type of injury.
- So it should always be evaluated by the appropriate physical therapist before starting the procedure.
- However.
- It is not recommended to use ultrasound daily for more than 20 days.
Ultrasonic physiotherapy aims to increase local blood flow and thus promote the cascade of inflammation, reduce inflammation and stimulate inflammatory cells, thus promoting healing, tissue remodeling and reduction of edema, sores and muscle spasms.
This treatment is indicated to treat
In addition, you can use 3 MHz ultrasound to fight cellulite, for example.
Ultrasound should be used correctly, placing a layer of conductive gel directly over the affected area, then fixing the head of the equipment, making slow, circular movements, in the form of 8 from top to side. There was another one, but I could never stand still in the same place.
The equipment can be adjusted to suit what is needed and can be adjusted as follows:
Wave Frequency
Intensity:
Problem type:
Duty cycle
Ultrasound can also be used underwater, dropping the head into a container with water, ideal for structures such as hands, fingers or fingers, where it would be very difficult to attach the entire area of the equipment, in this case it is not necessary to put gel on the skin, but the structure to be treated and the head of the equipment should not be immersed in water , and in this case the equipment does not always need to be in direct contact with the skin, but it can shorten distance.
Ultrasound therapy has favored the release of heat from tissues in the form of tendons, muscles and joints, reducing symptoms of inflammation and favoring tissue regeneration. This treatment is not painful, has no side effects and is performed by measuring a transducer capable of generating electric currents of frequencies and alternating capacities to penetrate the ceiling and stimulate blood flow to the area.
The sound waves released by the transducer enter the tissue depending on the type of measurement used, either based on the gel, the quality of the transducer, the treatment surface and the type of injury to be treated. Normally, the tendon connection area is based on absorption capacity and is recommended for performing other treatment or using a lower frequency than ultrasound.
The ability of the waves to penetrate the ceiling is inversely proportional to the applied frequency, and can vary between 0. 5 and 5 MHz, although the frequency normally used is between 1 and 3 MHz.
This type of treatment should not be used in certain situations, such as advanced osteoporosis, presence of prosthetics, discomfort, active cancer and areas treated with radiation therapy with varicose veins, as another physiotherapeutic treatment option must be chosen.
