Ultrasound Therapy IIposted on 8 May 2009 | posted in Ultrasound therapy | (0) Comments
Effects on the Inflammatory and Repair Processes:
One of the greatest proposed benefits of ultrasound therapy is that it is thought to reduce the healing time of certain soft tissue injuries. Ultrasound is thought to accelerate the normal resolution time of the inflammatory process by attracting more mast cells to the site of injury. This may cause an increase in blood flow which can be beneficial in the sub-acute phase of tissue injury. As blood flow may be increased it is not advised to use ultrasound immediately after injury. Ultrasound may also stimulate the production of more collagen-the main protein component in soft tissue such as tendons and ligaments. Hence ultrasound may accelerate the proliferation phase of tissue healing. Ultrasound is thought to improve the extensibility of mature collagen and so can have a positive effect to on fibrous scar tissue which may form after an injury. Application of Ultrasound: Ultrasound is normally applied by use of a small metal treatment head which emits the ultrasonic beam. This is moved continuously over the skin for approximately 3-5 mins. Treatments may be repeated 1-2 times daily in more acute injuries and less frequently in chronic cases. Ultrasound dosage can be varied either in intensity or frequency of the ultrasound beam. Simply speaking lower frequency application provides a greater depth of penetration and so is used in cases where the injured tissue is suspected to be deeply situated. Conversely, higher frequency doses are used for structures that are closer to the surface of skin. Contraindications For Use: As ultrasound is thought to affect the tissue repair process and so it is also highly possible that it may affect diseased tissue in an abnormal fashion. In addition the proposed increase in blood may also function in spreading malignancies around the body. Therefore a number of contraindications should be followed when using therapeutic ultrasound: Do not use if the patient suffers from: Malignant or cancerous tissue Acute infections Risk of haemorrhage Severely ischemic tissue Recent history if venous thrombosis Exposed neural tissue Suspicion of a bone fracture If the patient is pregnant Do not use in the region of the gonads (sex organs), the active bone growth plates of children, or the eye.
