Ultrasound Therapy - TENS Treatments - Blood Laser Therapy - Infrared

Ultrasound therapy uses high-energy sound waves (those above the range we hear) to help ease painful joints and muscles. Ultrasound treatment is done by a physical therapist or occupational therapist who guides the waves into the body from the head of a ultrasound machine. Therapeutic ultrasound as a treatment modality that has been used by therapists over the last 50 years to treat soft tissue injuries. Ultrasonic waves (sound waves of a high frequency) are produced by means of mechanical vibration of the metal treatment head of the ultrasound machine. This treatment head is then moved over the surface of the skin in the region of the injury. When sound waves come into contact with air it causes a dissipation of the waves, between the treatment head and the surface of the skin. As the ultrasound waves pass from the treatment head into the skin they cause the vibration of the surrounding tissues, particularly those that contain collagen. This increased vibration leads to the production of heat within the tissue. In most cases this cannot be felt by the patient themselves. This increase in temperature may cause an increase in the extensibility of structures such as ligaments, tendons, scar tissue and fibrous joint capsules. In addition, heating may also help to reduce pain and muscle spasm and promote the healing process. 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 the proliferative 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. Source Ultrasound is the best form of heat treatment for soft tissue injuries. It is used to treat joint and muscle sprains, bursitis, and tendonitis. Ultrasound treatment is used to: .relieve pain and inflammation . speed healing . reduce muscle spasms and . increase range of motion Ultrasound makes high frequency sound waves. The sound waves vibrate tissues deep inside the injured area. This creates heat that draws more blood into the tissues. The tissues then respond to healing nutrients brought in by the blood and the repair process begins. Sound waves are pulsed at the area causing your pain, at a million times per second. These waves stimulate your joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and other tissues providing targeted pain relief without drugs or surgery. The sound waves penetrate the skin and surface layers and cause the soft tissue to vibrate, producing gentle healing vibrations within the affected area that soothe inflammation and relieve pain. Ultrasound waves also cause tissues to relax and increase blood flow to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation. Increased blood flow also delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, removes cell waste and aids healing.

Are There Any Side Effects With Ultrasound Therapy? There have not been any documented adverse effects attributable to the use of therapeutic ultrasound. Ultrasound has been used in the medical community for more than 60 years! Unlike painkillers and other drug treatments, ultrasound therapy has not been shown to interact with systemic medications and has not demonstrated habit-forming behaviour.We recommend that people with pacemakers and other electronic implants do not use ultrasound for obvious reasons. Ultrasound should not be performed directly over replacement joints, metal implants or on the face, skull and throat. Who Can Use Ultrasound Therapy? Ahletes have used ultrasound therapy for years - ultrasound is what allows them to get back in the game quickly after they injure themselves. Normaly ultrasound therapy was only available to those who could afford expensive, professional-grade machines or 3-times daily access to a physiotherapist. Now, everyone can benefit from access to the exact same technology, as often as necessary, at a fraction of the price. Treatment is given with a soundhead that is moved gently in strokes or circles over the injured area. It lasts just a few minutes. The procedure may be performed with the soundhead alone or combined with a topical anti-inflammatory gel. Whether you're a senior citizen, an athlete or just someone experiencing pain, ultrasound therapy is safe to use and is a great treatment option for many of your aches and pains.

TENS:Transcutaneous Electrostimulation Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) currently is one of the most commonly used forms of electroanalgesia. Hundreds of clinical reports exist concerning the use of TENS for various types of conditions, such as low back pain (LBP), myofascial and arthritic pain, sympathetically mediated pain, bladder incontinence, neurogenic pain, visceral pain, and postsurgical pain.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) consists of an electrical pulse generator connected by wire to two or more electrodes that apply electrical stimulation to the surface of the skin at the site of pain. The stimulation of sensory nerves is intended to block pain signals and may also generate endorphins. TENS has been used to reduce chronic intractable pain, post-surgical pain, and pain associated with active or post-trauma injury unresponsive to other standard pain therapies. . Transcutaneous Electrostimulation: Emerging Treatment for Diabetic Neuropathic Pain Michael Alvaro, Dinesh Kumar, Inderjeet S. Julka Three independent studies utilizing transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to relieve diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain were reviewed. The propietary equipment, an H-wave machine, administered all electrotherapy. The first two studies assessed the efficacy of electrotherapy alone and electrotherapy with amitriptyline. The treated electrotherapy group reported an overall greater reduction of symptoms, 52% with 2-3 weeks of active treatment. Amitriptyline alone produced a 26% reduction of pain after 4 weeks. The addition of active electrotherapy to amitriptyline produced a 66% reduction of pain. The final study looked at patients who have utilized electrotherapy for over one year. A reported 44% improvement of symptoms was attained with continuous electrotherapy treatment. The data also suggested that a maintenance treatment protocol for long-term pain relief would have to be developed.

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is also a widely applied technique for muscle atrophy treatment, muscle force training, endurance training, pain treatment, functional movement therapy, and the restoration of motor functions. Effect of Transcutaneous Electrostimulation on Noise-Induced Temporary Threshold Shift 1Department of Otolaryngology, Meiji College of Oriental Medicine, Kyoto, Japan Correspondence: Masayoshi Tachibana, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Building 36, Room 5D-08, Bethesda, MD, 20892, USA The effect of transcutaneous electrostimulation around the ear before and during noise exposure on noise-induced temporary threshold shift (TTS) was examined in 26 volunteers. Electrostimulation reduced TTS in the majority of cases and the reduction was statistically significant. Two possible mechanisms for this reduction are proposed: stimulation of the olivocochlear bundle and alteration of cochlear blood flow. Transcutaneous electrostimulation may be useful for prevention or treatment of noise induced hearing damage and for treatment of tinnitus Cranial electrostimulation for headache: meta-analysis.

Every once in a while a technology is introduced that transforms the landscape of health care. Low Level Laser Therapy is a perfect example of such a development. It is well accepted, painless and, bottom line, it gets results.

Low Level Laser Therapy involves applying a "low" energy or "low level" laser to tissue in order to stimulate cellular processes and enhance biochemical reactions. "Excess body fat is linked to major physical threats like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. (Three out of four prople die of either heart disease or cancer each year; according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey, approximately 80 percent of those deaths are associated with life-style factors, including inactivity.) " Low level laser therapy has been shown to treat a wide range of disorders which, at first, seem to have nothing or very little in common. For example, LLLT can accelerate wound and burn healing, reduce pain in different limbs all over the body, improve the condition of patients after a stroke, help in treatment of diabetic angiopathy, and reduce stiffness and inflammation.

The physiological effects of laser light at low intensity are not completely understood, but what is known is that it has three main effects: biostimulation/tissue regeneration

 anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain relieving) One of the most important effects of LLLT is that it speeds up Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, by increasing physical and chemical changes at the cellular level, and enabling the cells deprived of blood flow in the damaged tissue to heal and to attain their normal functions. ATP is an organic compound composed of adenine, the sugar ribose, and three phosphate groups. It captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes, serving as the major energy source within the cell. Think of it as our cell's nuclear power plants.
