Ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis are advanced treatments that use ultrasound waves to deliver medicinal substances deep into the tissues. This therapy helps reduce pain, inflammation, and supports tissue regeneration. At Zdrowotel, located in scenic Łeba, ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis are part of our wide range of physiotherapeutic rehabilitation treatments.
How does ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis work, and how long does it last?
Ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis combine two physical therapy techniques that use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to treat musculoskeletal disorders and soft tissues.
- Ultrasound therapy: Produces sound waves that penetrate the tissues, improving blood flow, reducing pain, decreasing inflammation, and accelerating healing and tissue regeneration.
- Phonophoresis: Combines ultrasound with the application of medicinal substances (e.g., gels or ointments), which are delivered deep into the tissues to enhance their therapeutic effect.
The treatment lasts 4 to 5 minutes. The effectiveness of the therapy means that results are noticeable after just a few sessions.
Benefits of ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis
- Pain reduction: Ultrasound effectively relieves muscle and joint pain, providing patient comfort.
- Inflammation reduction: Ultrasound therapy helps reduce inflammation, benefiting patients with various conditions.
- Tissue regeneration: Ultrasound supports tissue regeneration, accelerating the healing of minor injuries and inflammatory conditions.
- Delivery of medicinal substances: Phonophoresis allows medicinal substances to penetrate deeply into the tissues, increasing therapy effectiveness.
