Ultrasounds
Ultrasounds – the mechanical vibrations with frequency 800-24000 kHz are applied during therapy. Phenomena occurring in human tissue exposed to ultrasound are very different depending on where they are applied. The nervous tissue is highly "sound proof" - less is muscles tissue, and the lowest, because of its compact structure is fat tissue. The main effect of ultrasounds on tissue is mechanical action called "micro massage" due to the wave sound oscillation. Also a very important factor is the impact of their actions on the biochemistry of tissues, leading to their better oxidation.
Ultrasound treatment provides the following actions:
- Analgesics
- Reducing the muscle tension
- Extending the blood vessels
- Inhibiting inflammatory processes
- Eliminating the so-called heel spurs
- Generates the formation of biologically active compounds
- Effects on systemic enzymes
- Stopping the sympathetic nervous system
- Accelerating the absorption of tissue
- Releasing a histamine related substances
The ultrasounds in water – the mechanical oscillation with frequency 800-24000 Hz is applied. Very often the treatment is done in water due to its good conductivity for sound wave propagation. The water ultrasounds treatment is used for the treatment of hand / foot joints inflammations.
PURPOSE
Simply saying, the base for therapeutic use of ultrasounds energy have the following factors:
- Increase of capacity of cell membranes, better tissue respiration and the increasing of metabolism
- Creation of bioactive compounds
- Influence on body enzymes – the changes in the structure of tissue colloids and their hydration
- Changes in ionic structures
- Changes of tissues reactions for alkaline reactions
INDICATIONS
- Post-amputation pains – lockjaw
- Neuralgia of trigeminal nerve
