Learn the basics of ultrasound in 1 minute

Ultrasound refers to mechanical vibration waves above 20,000 Hz that cannot cause auditory response in normal people.

Ultrasound treats tissues on the surface of the body. The ultrasound emitted from the body passes through the surface tissue and is focused in the deep tissue to produce a high-energy point. In a short period of time, the diseased tissue absorbs energy and heats up rapidly, and produces biochemical reactions, which eventually damage and degenerate the diseased tissue, promote normal tissue reconstruction and improve microcirculation to recover from pain.

What does an ultrasonic therapeutic device do?

Ultrasound therapy is a physical therapy method that uses ultrasound to act on the human body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. After applying the coupling agent to the painful area, gently press the area with the sound head, select the appropriate treatment intensity, and the treatment time is 5-10 minutes. It has the functions of analgesia, improving tissue nutrition, and softening scars.

1. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic: Ultrasonic therapy can eliminate inflammation in the body, and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It also relieves acute sprains, improves frozen shoulder and lumbar muscle strain, and relieves pain caused by injuries;

2. Promote injury recovery: Ultrasonic waves have strong penetrating power, can improve local blood circulation and promote cell repair, and have an effect on cell generation and growth;

3. Regulate human body mechanisms: The human nervous system is sensitive to ultrasound. Ultrasonic therapy can affect the body's nerve reflexes and body fluid reactions, and has a regulating effect on the human body mechanism. Because the energy direction of ultrasound waves is relatively concentrated, it has a better effect on the treatment of injuries in the elderly;

4. Improve microcirculation: During the rehabilitation process, ultrasonic therapy can stimulate mast cells to release chemokines, promote the aggregation of phagocytes in the lesions, remove vascular garbage, and improve the body's microcirculation and blood supply to the lesions.

Indications of Ultrasonic Therapy Device:

1. Soft tissue injury: lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), shoulder impingement syndrome, muscle strain, soft tissue sprain, tenosynovitis, ganglion cyst, scar tissue, post-injection induration, frostbite and frostbite;

2. Osteoarthritis: cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of shoulder, chronic arthritis of limbs, lumbar disc herniation, meniscus injury, patellar chondromalacia, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis;

3. Various types of neuralgia: intercostal neuralgia, sciatica, nerve contusion.

Advantages of Ultrasonic Therapy:

1. Strong targeting and obvious analgesic effect;

2. High safety and almost no side effects;

3. Almost no pain during treatment and high patient acceptance.

Contraindications and precautions:

1. Thrombophlebitis, multiple vascular sclerosis;

2. Eyes and adjacent areas of patients with high myopia;

3. During and within six months after radiation or radionuclide treatment;

4. Contraindicated in the lower abdomen and lumbar sacral area of pregnant women and epiphyseal area of children;

5. Contraindicated in areas with insensitivity;

6. Contraindicated in open wounds.
