The relaxation of the contracted muscles is due to the
thermic effect and to the tissue micromassage action of the
ultrasounds.
3)Fibrolytic action
The oscillations of tissue particles produced by ultrasound,
determine the disintegration of the collagen fibers of the
fibrous tissues.
4) Trophic effect
The vasodilatation, caused by the thermal elevation,
facilitates the catabolic removal and supplies the tissues of
nutritive substances and oxygen; in this way ultrasound
improves the tissue trophism, facilitate the repair of the
damaged tissues and accelerate the resolution of the
inflammatory processes.
The ultrasounds are used for the treatment of tendon,
capsular, periosteal structures pathologies. In particular are
advisable for treatments of:
1) Tendinitis
This technique is particular efficient in tendinitis, capsulitis,
bursitis, coccyx pain.
2) Muscular contractions
Involuntary contraction of one or more scheletric muscles.
3) Arthrosis/arthritis
Inflammatory process of one or more articulations that can
appear in a chronic or acute form, arthritis is carachterised
by pain, reddening and swelling and it is normally caused
by an inflammatory process or by a traumatic wound.
