ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION / ULTRASOUND |
|
This is a therapy machine that sends small electrical impulses into the muscles and the surrounding soft tissue. It feels like a "fuzzy tingling" sensation and is commonly used in combination with hot packs or ice. It relieves pain, relaxes spasmed muscles and improves circulation. More nutrients are thus drawn to the area and healing can occur faster. This therapy sends high frequency sound waves into damaged tissues and reduces pain and swelling in joints and muscles. Ultrasound helps prevent scarring of tissues and improves circulation. It has been found to assist in breaking up adhesions and helping in the resorption of calcified areas. |
