This device was created in accordance with all technical standards for therapeutic devices using ultrasound.

A portable massage device is capable of producing heat in tissues, which is not perceived by the human body in any way. In this case, a sensor is used on which there are special sound crystals. The therapeutic effects of ultrasound on the human body have been known for a long time. There is scientific evidence that this treatment is safe and effective for pain relief. Modern ultrasound devices for independent use emit waves of 100,000 vibrations per second. (1 MHz), which reach tissue depths of up to 4 cm. Taking this fact into account, we can say that this therapy is truly effective in treating injuries, pain and arthritis.

Historical information
Ultrasonic waves were discovered in 1899, they were discovered by K. Konig. The Russian engineer K.V. Shilovsky and the French inventor Langevin tried to use ultrasound in practice in 1914-1918. The research of these scientists led to the creation of an ultrasound emitter. It worked on the basis of the piezoelectric effect in accordance with the development of the Curie brothers. After this, a device was made based on magnetostriction. Over time, the rays emanating from the device became more focused on a specific object. This allowed the use of ultrasonic waves in industry and medicine. Ultrasound began to be used in medicine after 1927.

The impetus for the use of ultrasound was the work of scientists on the biological effects of ultrasound on the body. There is an opinion that R. Pohlman was the first to use ultrasound. He created a vibrator that emits ultrasonic waves. Pohlman treated sciatica, neuralgia, and myalgia with ultrasound waves. The results of the treatment were positive. By 1945, UST began to be used in Germany, Western Europe, the USA, and Japan. In our country, the technique began to be used only in 1953. Scientist V.A. Plotnikov first tried to treat Dupuytren's contracture with ultrasound. In 1955, ultrasound waves began to be used in the treatment of neurological, joint pathologies, and skin diseases. Since 1961, domestic ultrasonic devices began to be produced. Their production was mass-produced, which served as an impetus for the development of ultrasound therapy. In 1986, scientists from Belarus (L. I. Bogdanovich, V. S. Ulashchik, A. A. Chirkin) were awarded a prize in the field of science and technology. Ultrasound therapy techniques in physiotherapy are used very widely today to treat various diseases.

Characteristics of ultrasonic waves

For physiotherapeutic procedures, ultrasound waves with a frequency of 800-3000 kHz are used. For surgical manipulations, the oscillation frequency is 20-100 kHz. The dosage of ultrasound exposure on the body depends on the intensity, duration of exposure, as well as the type of generation of ultrasound waves (continuous, pulsed).

Ultrasound wave intensity:

• Low (no more than 0.4 W/cm2)
• Medium (0.5-0.8 W/cm2)
• High (0.9-1 W/cm2)

With continuous exposure to ultrasound, ultrasound waves are directed onto tissue without stopping.
The pulse effect on organs is an intermittent stream of waves lasting 2.4 or 10 ms. The degree of absorption of ultrasonic waves depends on the acoustics and vibration frequency. If the tissues are soft, then absorption will occur at a depth of 4-5 cm at a frequency of 800-900 kHz, at a depth of 1.5-2 cm at a frequency of 3000 kHz. Tissue absorption relative to blood:

• fat – 4 times more effective;
• muscular - 10 times better;
• bone - 75 times more intense.

At the transition site of different types of tissue, the intensity of absorption of ultrasonic waves is much higher.
They are immediately absorbed in the air, so various media are used for ultrasonic physiotherapy. Mechanism of influence of ultrasonic radiation

There are several mechanisms by which ultrasound affects the body. These include: mechanical, thermal, physico-chemical, neuro-reflex. They are the primary mechanisms of ultrasound therapy. The mechanical effect consists of high-frequency vibrations that are transmitted to tissues. In this case, a very small vibration occurs, invisible to humans. Vibration effects lead to increased blood circulation and increased metabolism in cells.

Under the influence of vibration in the cell, the viscosity of the cytoplasmic fluid decreases. The connective tissue in the tissues begins to loosen. The diffusion of microelements in cells is accelerated, and the work of lysosomes is stimulated. Enzymes begin to emerge from the lysosomes, which increase the function of protein compounds. These processes help speed up metabolism. When high-frequency waves are applied, the permeability of histohematological barriers increases. The thermal effect involves the transition of the energy of ultrasound waves after absorption by tissues into heat. The temperature in them increases by 1°C. At the same time, enzymatic activity inside tissues is accelerated, biochemical reactions are stimulated. Heat is generated only at the boundaries of tissues of different densities. Thermal energy is absorbed more by organs with a deficiency of blood flow, saturated with collagen fibers, as well as nervous and bone tissue.

The physico-chemical effect is caused by mechanical resonance. It increases the speed of movement of molecular structures, the process of decomposition of molecules into ions increases, and new electric fields appear. Lipid oxidation accelerates, the functioning of mitochondrial structures of cells improves, physical and chemical processes in the tissues of the body are stimulated. Biologically active substances such as histamine and serotonin are activated. Under the influence of ultrasound waves, breathing and oxidation in organs improves. All these processes accelerate tissue restoration.

The following phases of the body's reaction are distinguished:

Ultrasound waves are a specific irritant when they act on organs and tissues. If the effect of ultrasound is directed on the skin, an inflammatory reaction is formed, skin redness, and metabolism increases. During ultrasound therapy (UT), the number of mast cells increases, the function of cambial (stem) cell structures is stimulated, and the concentration of mucopolysaccharides increases.

During therapy, the function of the glandular apparatus (sebaceous sweat glands) in the skin increases, and the skin's reaction to irritants becomes brighter. The tissues of the nervous system are very sensitive to the effects of ultrasound waves. Ultrasound inhibits the functioning of synaptic cleft receptors, which helps reduce the speed of transmission of nerve impulses. The general condition of patients with disorders of the autonomic nervous system improves. If ultrasound waves act on the glandular areas, this leads to stimulation of hormone synthesis. Immune activity increases.

When affecting the cardiovascular system, ultrasound can increase blood flow, slightly lower blood pressure, and increase heart rate. The rheological properties of blood become better, the function of erythrocytes and leukocytes increases.

Technique of procedures

When using ultrasound treatment, the emitter should not be directed at the heart, brain, or bone growth points in children. UT technology and devices When performing ultrasound physiotherapy, it is necessary to eliminate purulent foci of infection. This can be done with the help of medications and disinfectant solutions. Infectious diseases of a viral or bacterial nature should also be treated. The physiotherapy algorithm is as follows. Before starting therapy, the skin at the site of contact with the hardware head of the emitter must be lubricated with a special substance (vaseline, lanolin).

Turn on the device, adjust the intensity of the waves, and set the time. After this, the emitter is placed in the required area on the surface of the skin and begins to move at a speed of 1 cm per second. At the initial stage of treatment, no more than 1-2 fields can be processed in 1 session. After two days of treatment, up to 3-4 fields can be irradiated. The duration of the procedure in the first two days should not exceed 5 minutes. Subsequent sessions last up to 15 minutes. For children, it is recommended that the procedure last no more than 10 minutes.

When treating extremities with ultrasound (feet, hands, joints, forearm, lower leg), the procedure is carried out in water. The patient lowers his arm or leg into the bath, and the emitter is immersed there. The temperature regime for water is 32-36°C. The duration of the physiotherapy procedure is up to 15 minutes. During therapy, it is necessary to ensure the safety of medical personnel. The nurse who holds the emitter in the water should wear a wool mitten and a rubber glove on top. This protects the healthcare worker's hand from exposure to ultrasound. A mitten made of wool has air in its pores, which completely absorbs ultrasonic waves.

use in children

Ultrasound therapy is prescribed to children only from the age of 7. The technique should not be used at an earlier age. Therapy is used for the same indications as for adults.

In adolescent girls, UST is used to treat menstrual irregularities. For younger patients, ultrasound is indicated for adenoiditis and other ENT pathologies. Ultrasound treatment for children is also necessary for enuresis. Ultrasound waves improve the condition of the bladder tissue, which helps to form a normal urination reflex and reduce bladder reactivity.

Conclusion

Ultrasound therapy is a relatively safe treatment method. It is used for various diseases. Hospitals, as well as sanatorium-resort institutions, are allowed to use ultrasound treatment methods. To undergo ultrasound therapy, you must consult a doctor. He will determine the duration of the sessions, the intensity of exposure to ultrasonic waves, and the duration of the course.

How does this device work?

The sensor on which the sound crystals are located converts electricity into sound waves of therapeutic ultrasound; We do not perceive these sounds by ear. The portable transducer is able to focus sound energy at the site where musculoskeletal pain is present, providing therapeutic effects and helping tissue heal. Low frequency ultrasonic waves, concentrating in a certain area of ​​the body, provoke vibrations in tissues, create heat, which allows you to get rid of muscle spasms, pain, eliminate joint contractures. A convenient method of ultrasound treatment helps to more quickly cure ailments, improve blood flow to tissues, saturate them with oxygen, it It also allows you to relax tissues and dissolve scars on them in order to increase the level of mobility in the joints.

You can carry out ultrasound treatment yourself. It is well suited for the treatment of various injuries, pain, cramps, fractures, pinched nerves. Important: ultrasound can be used for treatment close to the wound, only on intact tissue.

Instructions for use

First you need to connect the wire to the outlet. Apply ultrasound gel to the painful area. After this, you need to press the switch and look at the power indicator, select the desired impact power. Place the sensor on the painful area, where the gel is applied, and make circular movements with the sensor (approximately 2.5 cm per second). The device will turn itself off after 30 minutes. Press ON/OFF to turn off the device before this time. At the end of treatment, use a damp cloth to wipe the body and head of the sensor.

Frequency of use of the device: In the first two to three weeks, you can use the device no more than once or twice a day. As the pain goes away, the frequency of treatment should be reduced to three to four days a week. Remember that prolonged exposure to ultrasound can destroy tissue cells.

Contraindications

The ultrasound therapy device is designed to relieve pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures.

The device cannot be used:

• in places with oncology and where there are metastases in the bones;
• in places where bones grow until their growth is completed;
• directly before the eyes;
• over ischemic tissue;
• those with low blood pressure;
• over places where the carotid sinus, arteries or nerves are located;
• above the larynx and pharynx;
• in areas of open wounds or infection.

Due to the high biological activity of ultrasound, care should be taken during therapy. Positive results from ultrasound treatment have been obtained for various diseases. The effect was achieved in the treatment of neuralgia, myalgia, arthrosis, and arthritis. When joints are affected, treatment of one of them will usually be sufficient; the remaining joints will simultaneously and independently improve their functions. Ultrasound can also be used to treat ankylosing spondylitis, spondylitis, and varicose ulcers.

Indications for use

Ultrasound therapy is used to treat a wide variety of diseases. These include cardiovascular diseases: coronary heart disease, hypertension, angina pectoris. Ultrasound is also used for flaccid paralysis, primary muscular atrophy, diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the stomach and intestines, vasospasm, cystitis, pyelonephritis, gynecological inflammation, prostatitis, diseases of the upper respiratory tract, trophic ulcers.

The most popular area of ​​application: elimination of the consequences of injuries and treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system (spinal diseases, hernias, neuritis, neuralgia, osteochondrosis, pinched nerves, myositis, myalgia) and inflammation of the joints (arthritis, epicondylitis, tendonitis, ankylosing spondylitis).

Ultrasound reduces the sensitivity of nerve receptors, regulates the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, and affects the speed of transmission of nerve impulses. Therefore, there are indications for ultrasound therapy in the treatment of neuralgia, neuropathy, radiculitis, multiple sclerosis, Raynaud's disease, various spinal injuries and spinal cord injuries.

Currently, ultrasound is intensively used in the beauty industry for figure correction, hardware massage procedures, peeling, and for the effective elimination of defects.
