Here are some of the benefits of addressing damaged tissues that are causing pain with therapeutic ultrasound treatment:
1. Effective pain relief
Ultrasound treatment helps to alleviate any pain being experienced by a patient. The treatment promotes the healing of the problem causing the pain, and it reduces muscle spasms. In many cases, sensations of pain are caused by muscle tightness and spasms.
2. Relaxes tight tissues
The World Health Organization states that musculoskeletal conditions are one of the leading causes of disabilities worldwide. Damaged muscle tissues cause pain and build up tension within. Muscles can become damaged as a result of regular wear and tear, overuse, or trauma. Examples of musculoskeletal issues include fractures, sprains, and dislocations.
Muscles tissues might also build up tension due to being immobilized or through repetitive movements. Ultrasound treatments can be used to heat these muscles, relieving the tension built up inside them. The ultrasound also increases blood circulation to the affected tissues, increasing the healing fluids being delivered.
3. Increased blood flow
Ultrasound treatments increase blood flow to the area being treated, helping to reduce any inflammation. It can provide relief from chronic conditions like arthritis that lead to inflammation and pain. Managing the inflammation caused by such disorders helps to minimize symptoms like pain and limited mobility.
The heat generated by the treatment relaxes muscles deep in the body, and it helps to break down scar tissue caused by the injury. Eliminating scar tissue helps to improve the patient’s range of motion. It also allows the patient to maintain their new range of motion for longer.
