Ultrasound therapy: relieves pain faster.

How it works and its benefits.

Ultrasound therapy is one of the physical therapies capable of relieving pain faster: less time per treatment, less time to restore health.

Because of this, it is renowned as a therapeutic technique either in the medical field as well as per the aesthetic and sport.

How does it work?

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves generated by a transducer head to penetrate tissues.

A water based conductive gel is applied to the skin to help the waves to penetrate.

Sound waves generate a micro-vibration within the tissue which, in return, produces heat energy. This energy increases blood streaming to the treated area, accelerating the recovery process of the damaged tissue.

What are the main benefits of ultrasound therapy?

It is a non-invasive physical therapy which favours bio-stimulation and trophic action, relaxation of contracted muscles and a faster healing from pain.

Ultrasound therapy is a perfect anti-inflammatory. It also promotes the reabsorption of haematomas, increasing oxygenation and nutrients to the tissues, and stimulating healing.

Thanks to its therapeutic effects, it ends up being an efficient technique in the field of aesthetics, given that: it treats blemishes, reactivates the local blood flow, and absorbs the active ingredients.

Similarly, it is very well renowned among sporty people. Its benefits help sportsmen and sportswomen to get back on their feet in no time!

What pathologies can ultrasound therapy treat?

Ultrasound therapy is ideal to treat musculoskeletal pathologies, both chronic and subacute.

Among the main pathologies treated there are myofascial pain, muscle pain, carpal tunnel, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, low back pain, arthrosis, epicondylitis, golfer’s elbow, tendinopathy, ulnar nerve entrapment, lumbar stenosis, sciatica.
