The ultrasound therapy a physical therapy method that has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Our physiotherapists use ultrasound to treat musculoskeletal disorders such as bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs along the joints), muscle strains and tears, muscle sprains and ligament injuries, or joint contractures.

How does an ultrasound therapy device work?

Inside the ultrasound machines is a small crystal. When an electric charge is applied to this crystal, it vibrates rapidly, generating piezoelectric waves (electric charge that accumulates in some solid materials). as ultrasound waves are leaving. During the treatment, the ultrasound wave penetrates damaged tissue, where increases blood flow and cavitation. With this helps speed up cellular processes - so heal damaged tissue faster.

Ultrasound therapy uses a transducer (transducer), which is a transducer that can generate sound waves. A small amount of gel is applied to the area to be treated, and the transducer, which is attached to the ultrasound machine, is then placed on the gel and moved in small circles. The physiotherapist adjusts the device to deliver the sound wave of the required depth and intensity.

Our centre has professional - original Italian quality and technology - ultrasound therapy equipment which has several heads for maximum effect, and also suitable for underwater use, so even can also be used during hydrotherapy.

The ultrasound treatment does not cause discomfort or pain.
