Ultrasound application produces two primary results:

Thermal

Ultrasound waves heat up certain targeted areas to a high degree and in great depth. Tissues high in collagen, such as articular capsules, scar tissue, tendons and fascia, heat up to a greater degree.

We achieve:

• Hyperemia
• Reduction of muscle spasm.
• Analgesia
• Acceleration of ATP production, the cells' energy currency.
• The cyclic AMP (cAMP) derived from ATP is a very important secondary messenger that takes part in a number of intracellular signal transduction pathways.
• More energy = faster recovery.
  Mechanical results

Mechanical results

• Separation of collagen fibers, increased stretching ability of connective tissue, shrunken articular capsule and tendons.
• Reduction of adhesions and scar tissue.
• Increased cell membrane permeability to ions.
• Effect on protein synthesis and acceleration of wound healing.
• "Gentle massage", reduction of edema.
  Anti-inflammatory action.

A technique applied alongside ultrasound waves to infuse molecules of chemical compounds for anti-inflammatory and analgesic action in the inflamed tissues.

• Cervical spine syndrome.
• Lower back pain, sciatica, intervertebral disc herniation.
• Shoulder periarthritis, tendinopathy (tendinitis).
• Muscle and tendon injuries, sprains.
• Hip and knee osteoarthritis.
• Fractures
• Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle and tendon problems/dysfunctions.
