Ultrasound therapy is a physiotherapeutic method that utilizes the healing effects of ultrasound, which heats the affected areas by 1–2 °C. This leads to accelerated metabolism, increased production of enzymes, collagen, and hormones, and supports the regeneration of damaged tissues. As a result of the thermal effect, blood vessels dilate, and blood flow and microcirculation in the tissues improve.
The therapy significantly relaxes muscles, has an antispasmodic effect, and promotes absorption. It is recommended for arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, hematomas, swelling, muscle pain (myalgia), muscle inflammation (myositis), cramps, fluid retention, and during recovery after musculoskeletal surgeries.
A prior consultation with a physician is required.
