Routine urine sediment analysis typically involves a number of manual steps including centrifugation, re-suspension, microscopy and finally manual documentation of the results. These numerous steps can make the process time consuming, laborious and at risk for transcription errors.

Therapeutic ultrasound is a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin’s surface using high frequency sound waves that can penetrate up to 5″ below the surface of your skin.

The technology is the same as used to inspect foetus in mother’s womb. Benefits of ultrasound are well established.

Therapeutic ultrasound is typically between 800,000 Hz and 3,000,000 Hz.

This sound cannot be heard by humans or animals. The higher the frequency less the depth of penetration. At 3MHz, penetration can be just one or two mm, perfect for skin treatment.

The ultrasound waves vibrate, or move body cells and thus massage and relax them. The massaging effects of therapeutic ultrasound have three primary benefits:

  • Ultrasound therapy increases bloodflow in the treated area which speeds the healing process. Very little heat is generated.
  • Ultrasound therapy reduces swelling and edema which are the main sources of pain.
  • Ultrasound waves gently massage the muscles, tendons and/or ligaments in the treated area and enable medicines to reach deep inside. This enhances the recovery rate of damaged tissue without adding strain, and softens any scar tissue that is usually present in an injured area.

What can be treated with ultrasound?

An incredibly wide variety of ailments are treated using ultrasound. Essentially, anywhere there is a desire to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling and injuries, on the skin or deep inside.

Always consult your doctor before administering ultrasound therapy, as it can harm also, if misused.
