BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Ultrasound therapy (UT) is a modern physiotherapy method that uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate recovery, reduce pain, and accelerate the regeneration of soft tissues, muscles, and joints. This therapy penetrates deep into the tissues, where it stimulates microcirculation, reduces inflammation, and helps damaged tissues heal faster.

How does ultrasound therapy work?

Ultrasound waves create thermal and mechanical stimulation in tissues, which stimulates biological regeneration processes. Sound waves increase blood flow and improve the supply of oxygen to tissues, which accelerates their healing. They also reduce pain, relax muscles, and improve flexibility. The therapy uses a specific frequency and intensity that are tailored to the patient's needs, achieving an optimal therapeutic effect.

Benefits of ultrasound therapy

• Pain relief: Ultrasound waves raise the pain threshold, reducing pain perception and providing relief.
• Improved circulation: Increases blood flow and improves the supply of oxygen to tissues, which accelerates regeneration.
• Tissue regeneration: Stimulates biological processes of regeneration, which accelerates the healing of damaged areas.
• Muscle relaxation: It has a relaxing effect on tense muscles and increases flexibility.

Who is ultrasound therapy intended for?

Ultrasound therapy is suitable for people with painful conditions, reduced microcirculation, muscle tension and for people suffering from muscle, joint or tendon injuries. It is also effective for arthritis, bursitis, sprains and pain in the back or joints.

How do we apply ultrasound therapy in Terme Selce?

In Terme Selce, we perform ultrasound therapy with an individual approach to each patient. Our physiotherapists carefully adjust the intensity, frequency and duration of the treatment according to the specific needs and goals of the patient's recovery. In this way, we ensure a safe, effective and long-lasting therapeutic effect, which contributes to the health and recovery of our patients. The therapy is applied as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program, providing targeted recovery and improvement of quality of life.
