Therapy information
Together with stimulation current therapy, ultrasound therapy is one of the most common forms of treatment in physical therapy. Therapeutic ultrasound is applied at frequencies of 1 MHz or 3 MHz as continuous sound or pulsed sound in different pulse ratios. Ultrasound therapy is categorised as mechanothermotherapy due to its multi-layered effects. Depending on the therapy parameters (treatment frequency, type of sound, dose, treatment duration and cycle), ultrasound treatment focusses on a thermal effect (heat development at reflective boundary layers of the tissue, e.g. bones, joints) or a micro-massage in the treated tissue segment. The effects of ultrasound therapy can be summarised as follows:
- Hyperaemia
- Acceleration of metabolic functions (microcirculation, diffusion processes)
- Increasing the elasticity of connective tissue structures (collagen fibres)
- Pain relief
- Muscular detonation and spasm relief
- Acceleration of healing processes
- Stimulation of fracture healing
As ultrasound is reflected by air, a coupling agent (ultrasound gel) or ultrasound under water (subaqual) is used to optimise the transmission of sound waves from the ultrasound probe to the tissue.
