A focus on therapeutic ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound has been applied to a wide range of conditions with successful outcomes. These include acute and sub-acute traumatic and inflammatory conditions, chronic rheumatoid and arthritic conditions, scar and excessive fibrous tissue and pain relief.

The Primo Therasonic Therapeutic Ultrasound EMS460 machine has been designed to offer you a wide range of choices for your ultrasound treatment programme. Widely used to improve healing time on soft tissue injuries, it has integrated evidence-based algorithms and clinical protocols from the renowned Professor Tim Watson.

5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD UTILISE DUAL FREQUENCY ULTRASOUND IN YOUR CLINIC

Enhanced Tissue Healing:

Dual-frequency therapeutic ultrasound can facilitate tissue repair more effectively than single-frequency ultrasound. By alternating between high and low frequencies, it can target both superficial and deeper tissues, promoting increased blood flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the overall healing process. *

Versatility in Treatment:

This UK designed and manufactured technology allows for the treatment of a broader range of conditions and injuries. Low-frequency ultrasound (typically around 1 MHz) is effective for deep-tissue conditions such as muscle strains or joint pain, while high-frequency ultrasound (typically around 3 MHz) is suitable for more superficial issues like tendonitis or ligament injuries. This dual approach provides versatility, making it a valuable tool for your clinic.

Improved Patient Comfort:

Dual-frequency ultrasound therapy with the EMS460 can be more comfortable for patients due to its ability to modulate intensity and frequency. This can result in a more tolerable treatment session, reducing discomfort associated with traditional single-frequency ultrasound therapy, thereby improving patient compliance and satisfaction.

Efficiency in Treatment Sessions:

By utilising dual frequencies, therapists can achieve therapeutic outcomes more efficiently. This can potentially reduce the duration of each session and the overall number of sessions required, optimising clinic operations and improving patient throughput without compromising the quality of care.

Enhanced Clinical Outcomes:

Studies have shown that dual-frequency ultrasound therapy can lead to better clinical outcomes compared to traditional methods. It can be particularly effective in treating chronic conditions that are resistant to other forms of therapy. This can result in higher rates of patient recovery and satisfaction, establishing the clinic's reputation for effective and advanced therapeutic options.

In summary

Incorporating dual-frequency therapeutic ultrasound into a physiotherapy clinic not only expands treatment capabilities but also aligns with a modern, patient-centric approach to rehabilitation and pain management.
