Ultrasound therapy

For ultrasound therapy is used apparatus which generates low-frequent ultrasound waves.

Principle of operation is transformation electric current energy to low-frequent electromagnetic modes. The last ones transforms to ultrasound oscillations by means of piezoelements.

Impact of ultrasound on human organism:

• micro massage of cells elements;
• heat effect;
• chemical effect.

Ultrasound increases: permeability of cells’ membrane, diffusion, ointment penetration in tissues and body metabolism.

Indications for ultrasound treatment:

• inflammation of joints;
• posttraumatic infiltrates at the joints;
• posttraumatic failure of ligaments;
• bruise of soft tissues;
• aggravation of lumbar osteochondrosis;
• posttraumatic and inflammatory tenobursitis;
• contracture after trauma and paresis;
• cardio-vascular diseases (stenocardia, hypertension, early period after stroke, psychoemotional reactions);
• acute inflammatory gastroenterological diseases (cholecystitis, pancreatitis);
• intestinal and hemorrhoidal bleeding;
• joints inflammation in acute infectious diseases;
