Ultrasound

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is the application of high frequency acoustic energy to produce thermal and mechanical effects in tissue. Ultrasound therapy may be ‘continuous’ with an uninterrupted flow of energy generating both thermal and non-thermal responses or it can be ‘pulsed’ with the intermitted interruption of sound waves resulting in primary non thermal effects.

Benefits:

  • Thermal increases the local blood flow and cellular metabolism.
  • Increases extensibility of connective tissue.
  • Decreases pain.
  • Reduce local inflammation, spasms and pain from sprains and strains.
  • Non thermal used to treat acute conditions to provide pain relief and increase cell permeability.
