Ultrasound therapy is a form of electrotherapy in which sound waves are used to generate heat in body tissue. This heat can help to stimulate blood circulation, relieve existing pain and accelerate the healing of injuries by removing swelling, inflammation and waste products. The therapy is carried out using an ultrasound device which generates sound waves that are transmitted into the tissue. The sound waves can penetrate up to five centimetres deep into the tissue and create a kind of micro-massage in the treatment area.
Ultrasound therapy is particularly suitable for people who suffer from chronic pain or are recovering from injuries. It is often used to treat joint and spinal disorders, but can also be helpful for a variety of other conditions and complaints. In particular, ultrasound therapy provides relief for the following conditions and complaints:
Although ultrasound therapy is safe and effective for many people, there are some situations and conditions in which it is not recommended. For example, the therapy should not be used on people with acute infections, infectious diseases or feverish conditions.
In addition, ultrasound therapy is not suitable for people with:
In addition, ultrasound should not be used on certain parts of the body, such as the testicles, the eyeballs and the area of the uterus in pregnant women.
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to generate heat in the body tissue. This is done by moving an ultrasound transducer over the area of the body to be treated. The sound waves penetrate up to five centimetres into the tissue, where they create a kind of micro-massage that generates frictional heat. The massage and warming of the tissue can help to relieve pain and promote the healing process.
The treatment begins with our therapists applying a special ultrasound gel to the area of the body to be treated. This gel provides an optimal connection between your skin and the ultrasound transducer, thus enabling the transmission of the sound waves. The sound waves are emitted either continuously or in pulses from the device’s transducer.
Ultraphonophoresis is a special form of ultrasound therapy in which additional medication, such as anti-inflammatory agents, are introduced into your body via the ultrasound waves.
Ultrasound therapy offers a number of benefits. It can help to relieve pain, improve your mobility and speed up the healing process after an injury. Another advantage of ultrasound therapy is that it is non-invasive and usually has few side effects. In some cases, ultrasound physiotherapy can even be an alternative to invasive treatments such as surgery.
Do you have any questions? Here are some of the most common ones:
No, physiotherapy with ultrasound is usually not painful. Some patients report a slight tingling sensation or a slight warmth during treatment with ultrasound waves, but this is usually not perceived as unpleasant.
As a rule, ultrasound therapy is applied several times a week. How often it is actually applied depends on your specific situation. Our therapists will recommend the most appropriate frequency based on your state of health.
Yes, there are mobile ultrasound units for physiotherapy that you can use at home. However, it is important that you receive expert guidance from our therapists before using them at home to ensure that you are using them correctly.
Although the use of ultrasound in physiotherapy is generally safe, there are risks. For example, an overdose can cause tissue death. If you feel pain during or after therapy, you should report it to our physiotherapists immediately.
To meet your individual needs, we offer flexible appointment options that allow you to find a treatment time that fits your schedule.
