Cryoultrasound therapy combines the advantages of ultrasound with the possibilities of cryotherapy Cryoultrasound therapy uses ultrasound combined with another technique, cryotherapy: what can be defined as cold ultrasound. This combined use helps reduce any kind of contraindication of the effect of ultrasound in trauma care. It is especially effective for treating inflammation thanks to the anti-inflammatory effect that ultrasound has, combined with the analgesic action of cryotherapy. Cryoultrasound therapy began to be successful in the sports field precisely because of the rapid rehabilitation it offered for every sportsperson, and then made its way into more traditional therapies.How does cryoultrasound therapy work? Ultrasound and cold are the basis of cryoultrasound therapy This type of therapy makes use of two features: cold and ultrasound. Cold inhibits pain receptors and reduces blood flow, thus controlling the formation of oedema in the affected area. Ultrasound, on the other hand, emits sound vibrations at very high frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear and, in contact with the tissues, produce mechanical, thermal, chemical and cavitation effects. The benefits are anti-inflammatory, anti-oedema and pain-relieving. In fact, thanks to the increase in temperature caused by ultrasound, vascularisation is increased and the molecules that caused the inflammation are eliminated. The cold, meanwhile, has analgesic effect that help alleviate contractures. The ultrasound also make the cells of the injured tissue vibrate which causes a micronised massage that penetrates deeply and helps ensure a soothing effect.
