Ultrasonic therapies are something like sound waves which are used for treatments. These sound waves are not reachable to human audible power as they have a higher frequency than that. These waves are used to treat much kind of injuries especially which may happen due to some muscle tear or muscle pull. The professional physiotherapist trainers take help of these ultrasound waves to treat their patients and give them relief from pain, which is caused from muscle pulls or muscle cramps. How the therapy will be done, depends completely on the type of injury an individual faces.
There are separate ultrasonic machines for physiotherapy, which one can buy from stores or from online websites if they need to use it on a regular basis. But it is mainly used by those who are physiotherapists by profession. This machine is a very new technology and one can only buy this for a better treatment purpose. Someone who is into regular hard exercise regimes or is an athlete can also need this machine because they tend to face more muscle pulls and nerve injuries compared to a normal person.
How does this machine work?
Before using the machine, it is necessary to know how this machine is used for treatment. This device can be held in hand and the waves of ultra sound get generated due to the piezoelectric effect, which happens due to the crystal vibrations which are present on the top of the machine. These ultrasonic waves travel all through the way penetrating the human skin and creating a ripple or a vibration on the injured muscles and tissues present under the skin. These waves generate heat that seeps through the skin and gets the local injured portion heated. The heat which comes from the machine is not felt by the body though when it is used. The heat reaches warmth in the injured part of the body, giving it a relief from the constant pain it was suffering from. But, the heat also has other functions apart from the healing power. Heat flow can actually keep the blood flow in the injured portion normal, which may get interrupted due to clot or swelling. It also heals the scar tissues, and if there is a bone fracture, it can provide immediate relief.
Using ultrasonic machine treatment on an injury depends on the intensity of the injury. It can go on for several days or can do its work in a couple of days only.
