Therapeutic Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation
Therapeutic ultrasound is a deep tissue-heating agent, used to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Opposed to superficial heat treatments, ultrasound produces temperature changes as deep as one to five centimeters in underlying tissues, without excessive heating of the skin. Ultrasound is helpful in treating joint motion limiting conditions, soft tissue injuries, and chronic conditions. Benefits include increased joint mobility, increased tendon extensibility, softening of scar tissue, and relaxation of muscle spasms. Our machine can combine Therapeutic Ultrasound with E-STIM.
Used therapeutically for pain management and to increase circulation
and promote healing. Electrodes are applied directly to the skin, and
deliver low voltage intermittent stimulation to the surface nerves of
the skin. Transmission of pain signals is blocked by the release of
endorphins, allowing healing. Benefits include pain relief, reduced
post exercise soreness, reduced edema, and improved muscle
strength. Electrotherapy is helpful in treating chronic or acute pain,
preventing and treating muscle atrophy, joint swelling, muscle
weakness, and tendonitis.
