Electrotherapy with IONOSON Expert

Electricity has been used to treat pain for over 100 years. Early proponents of electricity were labeled as charlatans, but recent scientific studies have proven that electricity can reduce both acute and chronic pain. 

The exact mechanism of electrical stimulation’s beneficial effect remains controversial. Electrical stimulation may directly block transmission of pain signals along nerves. In addition, electrical stimulation has been shown to promote the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body.

Several different electrical stimulation devices exist, each producing different frequencies, waveforms, and effects. Among most commonly used electrical modality is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).

Various types of pain are indications for electrotherapy, including:

• post-operative incision pain;
• fracture pain;
• pain associated with labor and delivery;
• foot pain;
• pain associated with tendinitis;
• pain associated with certain types of arthritic inflammation;
• back and neck pain.

Indications for the forms of electrotherapy that induce physiochemical changes include:

• inflammatory orthopedic conditions;
• bronchitis;
• otitis media;
• sinusitis;
• prostatitis;
• certain immunoregulated dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis;
• open lesions and certain types of skin ulcers.

Indications for electrotherapy to stimulate muscle contraction include:

• healthy innervated muscle at risk of atrophy from immobilization or injury;
• denervated (lacking natural neural connection) muscle that might atrophy or degenerate;
• low back spasms.

Contraindications for pain relief electrotherapy include:

• undiagnosed pain (pain is a symptom that might signal a serious condition that may need to be treated directly);
• current use of narcotic medications that can desensitize patients to stimuli;
• patient hyposensitivity in particular areas of the body;
• pregnancy, except when electrotherapy is used to relieve pain of labor and delivery.

For the use of electrotherapy to stimulate physiochemical changes, contraindications include:

• acute inflammation;
• hemorrhage;
• foreign bodies or metallic implants;
• patient hyposensitivity in particular areas of the body;
• recent treatment with ionizing radiation therapies;
• pulmonary tuberculosis;
• severe diabetes;
• lupus erythematosus;
• photosensitivity or current use of photosensitizing drugs.

For the use of electrotherapy to stimulate muscle contraction, contraindications include:

• new fracture;
• hemorrhage;
• phlebitis.

One Electrotherapy procedure lasts from 10 to 30 minutes. Number of procedures in a course of treatment is chosen according to the pathology (usually it takes 10 procedures).

Ultrasound therapy with IONOSON Expert

Therapeutic ultrasound as a treatment modality that has been used by therapists over the last 50 years to treat soft tissue injuries. Ultrasonic waves (sound waves of a high frequency) are produced by means of mechanical vibration of the metal treatment head of the ultrasound machine. This treatment head is then moved over the surface of the skin in the region of the injury. When sound waves come into contact with air it causes a dissipation of the waves, and so a special ultrasound gel is placed on the skin to ensure maximal contact between the treatment head and the surface of the skin.

As the ultrasound waves pass from the treatment head into the skin they cause the vibration of the surrounding tissues, particularly those that contain collagen. This increased vibration leads to the production of heat within the tissue. In most cases this cannot be felt by the patient themselves. This increase in temperature may cause an increase in the extensibility of structures such as ligaments, tendons, scar tissue and fibrous joint capsules. In addition, heating may also help to reduce painand muscle spasm and promote the healing process.

One of the greatest proposed benefits of ultrasound therapy is that it is thought to reduce the healing time of certain soft tissue injuries.

Ultrasound is thought to accelerate the normal resolution time of the inflammatory process by attracting more mast cells to the site of injury. This may cause an increase in blood flow which can be beneficial in the sub-acute phase of tissue injury. As blood flow may be increased it is not advised to use ultrasound immediately after injury.

Ultrasound may also stimulate the production of more collagen- the main protein component in soft tissue such as tendons and ligaments. Hence ultrasound may accelerate the the proliferative phase of tissue healing.

Ultrasound is thought to improve the extensibility of mature collagen and so can have a positive effect to on fibrous scar tissue which may form after an injury.

Contraindications:

• malignant or cancerous tissue;
• acute infections;
• risk of haemorrhage;
• severely ischeamic tissue;
• recent history if venous thrombosis;
• exposed neural tissue;
• suspicion of a bone fracture;
• if the patient is pregnant;
• do not use in the region of the gonads (sex organs), the active bone growth plates of children, or the eye.
