Ultrasound therapy, also referred to as therapeutic ultrasound, is a treatment used in
physiotherapy to help reduce inflammation in an injured area,
increase blood flow, reduce muscle and connective tissue stiffness,
and help to break down scar tissue.
How does ultrasound therapy work?
A five-minute treatment of ultrasound in the affected area
increases the temperature of the tissue being treated and increases
blood flow, making the injured area more responsive to manual
therapy. This increase in circulation helps with healing since all the
properties that are vital to healing such as oxygen, specialized
cells, proteins, and nutrients, are all located within the blood.
If the injury is still in the early stages of healing, longer
intervals of ultrasound may be used. For best results, we have
found that ultrasound works best as a supplementary technique to
other treatments such as:
How does ultrasound therapy for physiotherapy differ from a medical ultrasound?
Ultrasound used in physiotherapy is different from the ultrasound
used for other medical purposes. Medical or diagnostic ultrasound
is used to generate images of the internal structure of the body.
It uses a transducer to send and then pick up the high-frequency
sound waves as they bounce off the area where the ultrasound is
applied. The waves that bounce back change depending on the type of
tissue they make contact with and these changes are interpreted by
a computer which then forms an image. Ultrasound used in
physiotherapy is therapeutic which uses a different frequency and
does not have a sensor to pick up the waves after they’ve been sent
into the body, so this type of ultrasound does not produce an
image.
What injuries can ultrasound therapy help treat?
Ultrasound therapy can be effective in the early stages of treating
an acute injury or chronic pain. Some injuries best treated by
ultrasound therapy include:
After an injury, inflammation occurs. Inflammation is an important
part of the initial healing process as it boosts the body’s immune
response and promotes tissue regeneration. However, it can lead to
excessive swelling, which restricts blood flow and causes the
joints to stiffen. Also, healing cannot begin until the
inflammatory phase has ended and therefore we want to remove the
inflammation as soon as possible.
To reduce inflammation in these early stages, it is essential to
use gentle and non-invasive treatments to help the injured area
heal. Inappropriate manual treatment or aggressive techniques can
be detrimental to your rehabilitation.
The ability to heat and massage musculoskeletal damage helps in
many ways, including:
Deep Heating Effects
Ultrasound 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 is thought to help
the healing process. Increasing tissue temperature with ultrasound
is also used to help decrease pain.
Deep heating can be used to increase the "stretchiness" of muscles
and tendons that may be tight.
Benefits Of Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatments
Ultrasound is a broad-ranging therapy that can treat many
conditions.
One of the many benefits of ultrasound therapy is breaking up scar
tissue caused by injuries or surgery. Scar tissue can cause pain
and restrict joint movement. Ultrasound helps by using
high-frequency sound waves to break the fibres of the scar tissue
down into smaller fragments. Depending on the amount of scar
tissue, several treatments may be required.
If you are experiencing chronic pain from a slow-healing injury or
your injury is not responding to other treatments, ultrasound
therapy may also be beneficial. Ultrasound generates heat deep into
the tissues, increases circulation and metabolism. This helps to
encourage tissue repair, loosens the muscles and increases oxygen
and other important substances to promote tissue regeneration and
healing.
The heat created by ultrasound can also help increase flexibility.
Ultrasound warms the tissues of muscles, tendons, and ligaments and
allows them to stretch more. This added stretch increases the range
of motion of joints and results in more flexibility.

Ultasound wave Principle:
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.
