Ultrasound
Ultrasound Therapy at Physiotherapy in Baden
Ultrasound therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment method used in physiotherapy. At our practice in Baden, we use ultrasound to support healing processes in soft tissue, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
High-frequency sound waves are directed specifically at the affected tissue. These waves are inaudible and are generally well tolerated.
How does ultrasound work?
The sound waves generate fine mechanical stimuli in the tissue. This:
-
promotes blood circulation
-
stimulates metabolism in the tissue
-
supports the healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Many patients find the treatment pleasant and relaxing.
When is ultrasound therapy used?
Ultrasound is often used for conditions such as:
-
Muscle and tendon problems
-
Irritation and inflammation
-
Soft tissue injuries after accidents (bursa)
-
Overuse injuries in sports physiotherapy
It can be used alone or in combination with physiotherapy measures.
Ultrasound therapy and safety
Ultrasound therapy is considered a very safe form of treatment. However, caution is advised under certain circumstances, such as:
-
Severe sensory disturbances
-
Metal implants in the treatment area
An individual assessment is therefore carried out before each application.
Combination With Active Physical Therapy
At our physiotherapy practice in Baden, ultrasound therapy is usually used as a supportive measure. It prepares the tissue for manual techniques or active exercises and can thus improve the overall success of the treatment.
