ENGLISH
Ultrasound therapy can be administered in two different ways: direct contact
(mobile or fixed head technique) and immersion.
In the first mode, the area to be treated should be positioned so that it is relaxed,
bare and dry. Apply therapeutic gel or cream.
The direct contact mode, which is most frequently used, consists in the
application of the emitting head in direct contact with the skin with the
interposition of a substance (usually a special conductive gel) to favor a on the
side the transmission between the head and the skin and on the other the
adherence, the slipping and the elimination of possible air between the skin and
the transducer which could obstruct, due to its reflective capacity, the
transmission of the ultrasonic wave. In the mobile head technique, the
transducer, applied to the area to be treated with light pressure, is made to slide
with circular movements. In the fixed head technique, the latter is placed on the
area to be treated in contact with the skin for the entire duration of the therapy
with the interposition of an electroconductive gel or therapeutic cream. With this
technique, rapid increases in temperature are obtained in a very limited area,
while the remaining field is not heated; therefore a lower supply power or a
pulsed emission is required.
General methods of application
The part to be treated is immersed in a container containing water at a
temperature of about 37 ° together with the emitting head, placed at a maximum
distance of 2-3 cm from the body surface.
The parameters defined in the treatment programs (time, power and duty cycle)
are intended to be applied only in the mobile head and immersion technique,
where it is specified. In the fixed head technique, they must be considered
reduced by 50%

Caution
Therapeutic indications
Contraindications
Not being dangerous, this therapy can also be applied to the elderly and
children; the only contraindications concern PACE-MAKER carriers, heart
failure patients, pregnant women. Below is a list of the main indications:
TRAUMATIC INJURIES It is used to relieve pain and to accelerate the
healing of all fractures, sprains and dislocations caused by accidents, sports
activities, including lumbar trauma.
ARTHRO-RHEUMATIC DISEASES It is used to treat myalgia, lumbago,
arthrosis, epicondylitis and all bone pains of different nature, localized to the
knee, hips, elbow, heel, hands, etc. BONE CONSOLIDATION Accelerates
the bone recalcification process in those who have suffered fractures and
acts effectively in the treatment of femoral osteotomy, patella fractures,
knee or arm surgery, neck or vertebrae injuries. REGENERATION OF THE
BONE From the analysis of radiographic plates of those who have
undergone surgical interventions following traffic accidents or at work, it was
found that with magnetotherapy, a process of regeneration and welding of
the bone tissue was determined.
TENDINITIS It is used to treat all forms of ligament sprains of the knee,
elbow, wrist, etc.
It is not recommended to use in the presence of metal synthesis means and
joint prostheses, due to their greater absorption compared to the surrounding
tissues and therefore for their possible deterioration or damage to neighboring
tissues. In addition, localized treatment on the implant site can lead to
overheating or to one
Contraindications
It is not recommended to use in the presence of metal synthesis means and
joint prostheses, due to their greater absorption compared to the surrounding
tissues and therefore for their possible deterioration or damage to neighboring
tissues. In addition, localized treatment on the implant site can lead to
overheating or to one The absolute contraindication in the presence of
osteoporosis appears to have fallen as the piezoelectric effect could even
have a positive action on osteogenesis. It is contraindicated in case of acute
inflammatory processes, neoplasms, skin lesions and sensitivity alterations. It
should be avoided in correspondence with the eyeballs and the pregnancy
uterus due to the possibility that the effect of cavitation may occur even at
therapeutic dosages. Particular caution should be taken when treating areas
near the spinal cord after laminectomy.
Therapy should be avoided in the cardiac area due to the possibility of
interference on cardiac conduction and contraction; direct exposure of
pacemakers or other implanted electromechanical equipment should be
avoided due to the possible permanent damage that may result.
- Applications for the absorption of active substances on the face and body The
program is used for the application of cosmetic agents. Ultrasound facilitates the
absorption of oils, fat-soluble vitamins, liposome products, emulsions and water-
soluble agents.
The effect is to increase cell permeability, decrease the functional barrier of the
skin and increase the activity of the channels of the active ingredients.
- Treatment of superficial wrinkles and sensitive skin
The treatment is used to stretch-smooth wrinkles [expression lines]. Thanks to
its thermal effects, ultrasound heats the tissues and promotes biochemical and
metabolic processes.
- Treatment of acne, pimples on the face and pimples on the body
In addition to an anti-inflammatory effect, ultrasound activates the fibroblasts
which play an important role in the post-inflammatory regeneration process. The
collagen and elastic fibers produced after ultrasound treatment increase the
elasticity of the tissues, reducing the possible formation of post acne scars. It is
also possible to promote the absorption of anti-acne products by increasing their
effect.
Specific fitness and beauty applications
- Anti cellulite treatments
Ideal for cellulite problems. There is a mobilization action of the fat in the treated
area thanks to the thermal effect. The metabolism of fat and its removal is thus
favored.
The therapeutic effects of ultrasound are partly due to the increase in
temperature. They are represented by analgesia with a fibrolytic and trophic
effect.
a) Analgesia
The analgesic effect is due to the action of heat and probably also to a direct
action of ultrasound on sensitive nerve endings.
b) Fibrolytic action
The oscillations of the particles of the tissues, produced by the ultrasounds,
determine the disruption of the collagen fibers of the fibrous tissues.
c) Trophic effect
Vasodilation, which follows the thermal elevation, facilitates the removal of
catabolites and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues; in this way,
ultrasounds improve tissue trophism, facilitate the repair of tissue damage and
accelerate the resolution of inflammatory processes.
- Release of contracted muscles
The relaxation of contracted muscles is linked to the thermal effect and the
action of tissue micro-massage induced by ultrasound. Ideal for relaxing
stressed muscles and eliminating muscle spasms caused by sports or injuries.
