How does therapeutic ultrasound work?
If you have joint inflammation, back pain, or any joint pain bothering you, you are almost always referred to physiotherapy, where you will very likely receive ultrasound therapy. If getting there is difficult or you are short on time, you can also buy a therapeutic ultrasound device. A good, usable device can be purchased for around 25,000 forints. That way you can use it at home.
However, it matters how you do it! Although ultrasound is effective, it only works if applied correctly. It makes a difference which frequency, which intensity, which treatment time or which operating mode you choose. You can expect beneficial effects only from proper application.
In this short video series I'll guide you step by step through the ins and outs of therapeutic ultrasound. Watch the first part.
