Ultrasonic therapy operation method

Ultrasonic therapy is a commonly used physical therapy method that treats the human body through the mechanical force and energy transmission of ultrasound. Ultrasonic therapy can be used to treat a variety of diseases, such as muscle injuries, fractures, arthritis, etc. The following will introduce the operation method of ultrasonic therapy in detail.

1. Ultrasonic therapy instrument preparation:

First, ensure the normal operation of the ultrasonic therapy instrument. Check the settings of the ultrasonic therapy instrument, including adjusting and selecting parameters such as frequency, time and intensity. Then, prepare the ultrasonic introduction agent, usually a water-based gel, to ensure the conduction effect of ultrasound.

2. Communicate with the patient:

Place the patient on the treatment bed and ensure that the patient is in a comfortable position. Treat the patient's muscles or skin, such as cleaning and disinfection, to prevent infection. Encourage the patient to relax the body so that the treatment is more effective.

3. Ultrasonic therapy operation steps:

Step 1: Apply ultrasonic introduction agent. Apply an appropriate amount of ultrasonic introduction agent to the treatment area to provide good ultrasonic conduction.

Step 2: Select the treatment mode and parameters. According to the doctor's advice, select the appropriate treatment mode and parameters. Typically, the frequency of ultrasound is between 1MHz and 3MHz, and the intensity is between 0.5W/cm² and 2.5W/cm².

Step 3: Adjust the position and angle of the treatment head. Place the treatment head on the area coated with the ultrasound infusion agent, and adjust the position and angle of the treatment head to ensure that the ultrasound can accurately irradiate the treatment area.

Step 4: Start treatment. Turn on the ultrasound treatment instrument and start treatment. Typically, the treatment time is between 5 and 10 minutes, which can be adjusted according to the patient's condition.

Step 5: Perform manipulation. During the treatment, the therapist can use manipulations such as massage and acupoint massage to further promote blood circulation and relax muscles.

4. Precautions:

When performing ultrasound therapy, the following precautions should be taken:

- Avoid using ultrasound therapy on pregnant women, cancer patients, patients with deep vein thrombosis, and patients with tumorous lesions without clear instructions.

- Avoid irradiating ultrasound to organs such as the eyes, heart, and gonads.

- Avoid irradiating ultrasound to infected skin areas or areas of recent trauma.

- Follow the doctor's instructions strictly and do not exceed the recommended treatment time and intensity.

- During treatment, patients should feel comfortable. If uncomfortable symptoms such as pain or allergic reaction occur, they should stop the treatment immediately and tell the doctor.

In general, ultrasound therapy is a safe and effective physical therapy method. Correct positioning and operation of ultrasound therapy equipment and adjustment according to the patient's specific situation can help patients get better treatment results. At the same time, patients should also closely monitor their reactions when receiving ultrasound therapy and inform the doctor in time for adjustment and intervention.
