This method of medical ultrasound therapy can be used for various types of pain relief and physical therapy. In physics, the term "ultrasound" [1] applies to all acoustic energy with a frequency above the audible range of human hearing. The audible range of sound is 20 hertz – 20 kilohertz. Ultrasound frequency is greater than 20 kilohertz.
Vibroacoustic therapy (VAT) is a type of sound therapy that involves passing low frequency sine wave vibrations into the body via a device with embedded speakers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This therapy was developed in Norway by Olav Skille in the 1980s. [ 3 ]
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a technology that can be used for therapeutic purposes.It exploits low intensity and pulsed mechanical waves in order to induce regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissues, such as bone, [1] cartilage, and tendon. [2]
A meta-analysis found that ultrasound therapy is effective in reducing pain, increasing ROM, and reducing WOMAC functional scores in patients with knee osteoarthritis. [7] There are three potential therapeutic mechanisms of ultrasound in physical therapy. The first is the increase in blood flow in the treated area.
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
I would say that sound therapy is a modern-day take on an ancient remedy.” On a scale from one to Gwyneth, Sava, with its $10,000 price tag (and currently sold-out status at tersa.co), is a 13.
One of the first applications of HIFU was the treatment of Parkinson's disease in the 1940s. Although ineffective at the time, HIFU has the capacity to lesion pathology. A focused ultrasound system is approved in Israel, Canada, Italy, Korea and Russia to treat essential tremor, [5] neuropathic pain, [6] and Parkinsonian tremor. [7]
