Mechanism of Ultrasound Treatment

Mechanical effect

The effect of ultrasound as it travels through the medium. (Ultrasound propagates in the medium is a mechanical effect produced by reflection) It can cause a number of reactions in the body. The substance in the tissue cells, due to the micro massage of the ultrasound, causes the cell plasma to flow, rotate and rub the cells, thereby generating the effect of cell massage, also known as "internal massage". This is a unique feature of ultrasound therapy, which can change the cell membrane. Permeability, which stimulates the diffusion process of cell semipermeable membrane, promotes metabolism, accelerates blood and lymphatic circulation, improves cell ischemia and hypoxia, improves tissue nutrition, changes protein synthesis rate, and improves regenerative function. Changes in the internal structure of cells, leading to changes in cell functions, and making the hard connective tissue stretch and soft.

The mechanical action of ultrasound can soften tissues, enhance penetration, increase metabolism, promote blood circulation, and stimulate the nervous system and cell function, so ultrasound has unique therapeutic significance.

Physical effect

The mechanical effects of ultrasound can trigger several changes. Practice has proved that some physical effects are often secondary effects of the above effects. The TS-C therapeutic machine has the following five major effects through physical effects:

Diffusion: Ultrasound can improve the permeability of biofilms. After ultrasound, the permeability of cell membranes to potassium and calcium ions undergoes a strong change. Thereby enhancing the dispersion process of biofilm, promoting material exchange, accelerating metabolism, and improving tissue nutrition.

Thixotropy: Under the action of ultrasound, the gel can be transformed into a sol state. The softening effect on muscles and tendons, as well as some pathological changes related to tissue dehydration. Such as rheumatoid arthritis disease and the treatment of degenerative diseases of joints, tendons and ligaments.

Cavitation: the formation of cavitation, or maintaining stable one-way cavitation, or secondary swelling to cause collapse, cell function changes, and intracellular calcium levels increase. Fibroblasts are activated, protein synthesis increases, blood vessel permeability increases, blood vessel formation accelerates, and collagen tension increases.

Polymerization and depolymerization: The polymerization of water molecules is the process of combining multiple identical or similar molecules into a larger molecule. The depolymerization of macromolecules is the process of turning macromolecules into small molecules. It can increase the activity of hydrolytic enzymes and original enzymes in the joints.

Anti-inflammatory, repair cells and molecules: Under the action of ultrasound, the pH value of the tissue can develop to alkaline. Relieve local acidosis associated with inflammation. Ultrasound can affect blood flow, cause inflammation, inhibit and play an anti-inflammatory effect. Move white blood cells and promote angiogenesis. Collagen synthesis and maturation. Promote or inhibit the damage repair and healing process. So as to achieve the process of cleaning, activating and repairing damaged cells and tissues.
