Ultrasound Therapy in Physiotherapy
Ultrasound therapy is one of the most used methods to reduces inflammation and pain by generating heat deep inside the body parts such as muscle, ligaments, tendons by physiotherapists. It is used by physiotherapists to treat their patients suffering due to injury such as a sprain, ligament tear, Osteoporosis, sports injuries, etc.
Ultrasound therapy is performed with a machine that has an ultrasound transducer (sound head). A small amount of gel is applied to the particular body part; then the physiotherapist slowly moves the sound head in a small circular direction on your body. Ultrasound therapy machine is mostly used to provide a Deep Heating effect and Non - thermal effect.
Deep Heating Effect of Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is often used to provide deep heating to soft tissue structures in the body. Deep heating tendons, muscles or ligaments increases circulation to those tissues, which helps speed up the healing process. Increasing tissue temperature with ultrasound also helps in decreasing pain. Deep heating can be used to increase the "stretchiness" of muscles and tendons that may be tight. A portion of the energy from the ultrasound wave is absorbed into the tissue structure and converted into heat energy. The amount of heating is determined by the frequency and intensity of the ultrasound (dosage) and the type of tissue that is exposed to acoustic energy. The deep heat of ultrasound increases the blood flow to the area being treated.
Non - Thermal Effect of Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound passes energy inside the body tissue. This energy causes microscopic gas bubbles around your tissues which induce them to contract and expand rapidly, which is a process called cavitation. It is theorized that the expansion and contraction of muscles due to these bubbles help speed up cellular processes and improves the healing of injured tissue.
