COMBINATION THERAPY SHOCK WAVE ELECTROTHERAPY ULTRASOUND What is radial shock wave ? 1.Radial shockwave therapy is a method for the treatment of orthopedic disorders. Abullet accelerated in the handpiece generates a mechanical pressure wave, which istransferred to the human body by an applicator head and which radiates out in thetissue. 2.The mechanical energy is absorbed by the tissue and decreases as the distance from the application site increases. What is electrotherapy ? >Electrotherapy involves the use of surface electrodes to apply an electrical current for the controlled stimulation of intramuscular tissue. lt has been proven effective to improve overall muscle condition, as well as muscle action and performance. >Electrotherapy causes neuronal excitation and changes cell membrane permeability Its overall effect is the generation of localized muscle-pumping action, improving joint mobility, muscle strength and circulatory and lymphatic drainage. What is ultrasound therapy ? >Ultrasound therapy causes mechanical vibrations, from high frequency sound waveson skin and soft tissue via an aqueous solution (Gel). A gel is applied either to the applicator head or to the skin, which helps the sound waves to evenly penetrate the skin. >The ultrasound applicator converts power from the device into acoustic power that can cause thermal non-thermal effects. The sound waves creates microscopic stimulation in the deep tissue molecules that increases heat and friction. The warming effect encourages and promotes healing in the soft tissues by increasing the metabolism at the level of the tissue and cells.
