What is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Ultrasound emits small sound waves at an extremely high frequency that is out of the range of human hearing. When applied to problem areas in soft tissues and joints, it produces heat that helps reduce inflammation and increase blood flow, in addition to decreasing pain, stiffness, and spasms. Therapeutic ultrasound is also believed to have a positive effect on the healing process.
Principle of ultrasound therapy
1.Mechanical function: the ultrasound have the [micro massage" to the tissue substance and tiny cell. It could soften tissue, enhance penetration, improve metabolism, promote blood circulation, stimulate nerve system and cell, relief pain.
2.Heating function: it forms heat during ultrasound therapy, so it is also called as"ultrasound diathermy therapy". it is deep heating, that penetrate below the muscle. Thus, ultrasound therapy is applied to chronic soft tissue pain, arthritis, rheumatism.
3.Physical therapy function: based on the mechanical and heating function, it will trigger physical therapy.
a)Hydrogen ion concentration changes: inflammation tissue accompanied by acidosis phenomenon, the ultrasound can make the pH value changes to the alkaline, so that the symptoms are reduced, good to inflammation repair.
b)Effects on enzyme activity: ultrasound can depolymerize complex proteins into common organic molecules, affecting the activity of many enzymes.
c)Under the action of high-intensity ultrasound, many highly active free radicals can be formed in the tissue. They can accelerate the redox process in the tissue and accelerate the growth process.

How Does Therapeutic Ultrasound Work?
While its effects and goals are different from ultrasound screening technologies, ultrasound therapy is implemented in much the same way. The process may be familiar if you've ever had an ultrasound screening in the past.
An ultrasound emitting probe will be passed over your skin across the pain point or injury. We will apply ultrasound gel to your skin to reduce friction and allow for better transmission of the ultrasound waves. Despite the deep-tissue heat applied during the therapy, you typically will feel little or no heat at all.

Ultrasound equipment generates high-frequency sound waves that are transferred to a specific body area via a round-headed probe. The sound waves travel deep into tissue (eg. muscles), creating gentle heat.
The physical therapist usually applies a hypoallergenic gel to the skin, which creates a friction-free surface. Using gentle, circular motions with the probe, the therapist administers the treatment, which lasts several minutes.
Ultrasound can also be used in phonophoresis. This treatment involves the application of a topical anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory medication can be mixed with the ultrasound gel and applied to the area using the probe. The ultrasonic sound waves force the medication to migrate into the tissues reducing inflammation.
No. The patient will feel a tingling sensation in the treated area.
As the probe glides over the skin's surface, sound waves penetrate the skin's surface causing soft tissues to vibrate, creating heat. In turn, the heat induces vasodilation: drawing blood into the target tissues. Increased blood flow delivers needed oxygen and nutrients, and removes cell wastes.
The heat helps relieve pain and inflammation, reduce muscle spasms, and accelerate healing. Depending on the treatment area, range of motion may be increased.
