Ultrasound treatment
Ultrasound treatment is a proven method of physical therapy. With the help of high-frequency sound waves, deeper layers of tissue are reached and gently massaged. This effect, also known as “micromassage”, improves blood circulation, stimulates the metabolism and thus supports the natural healing process.
Ultrasound therapy is used in particular for joint problems, chronic or acute inflammation, tendon irritation, strains and muscle injuries. Scar tissue can also be treated in a targeted manner to improve elasticity and reduce discomfort. Thanks to its pain-relieving and healing-promoting effect, ultrasound treatment is a valuable aid in rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
