Ultrasound Therapy Ultrasound Therapy Ultrasound waves create a pressure change in the tissue (mechanical vibration effect) and partly in frictional energy (heat effect) converted. They act pain, blood circulation, loosening and muskelentspannend bonding. They also have a stimulating effect on tissue regeneration and fracture healing.
The penetration depth and thermal effects of ultrasonic waves are frequency dependent and individually.
When is Ultrasound used?
- Diseases in which an intense heat therapy is desired
- Degenerative joint disease (arthritis)
- Degenerative spinal disorders
- Tennis elbow, golfers elbow (= Epikondylopathien)
- Shoulder pain
- Nerve irritation and inflammation
- Rheumatoid arthritis, Morbus Bechterew
- Sprains, pulled muscle, contusions, hematoma, swelling
- Tendon irritation (eg Achilles tendon)
- Muscle tension, painful muscle hardening
- Delayed fracture healing
- painful scars and agglutinated
What is Phonophorese?
In the (ultrasonic) Phonophorese a kopplungsfähiges medication such as Voltaren Emulgel, mobilat gel, etc. Contratubex as a contact medium, and so the medicine into the tissue using ultrasonic / transported under the skin. In this procedure, the Tiefeneindringung of the drug by the time factor and the frequency-dependent and less on the intensity. The ultrasound therapy can also be good with DC or some Reizstrom procedures which combine the efficiency can be increased even more. In the indirect sound is the body part to be treated in a water bath. The water represents the connection medium dar.
