Meditea

The sono cryotherapy is the combination of ultrasonic therapy and cold therapy. Physiotherapy represents a system in which two completely different methods, ie ultrasound, and cold, are used at the same time with a single applicator, such as a simultaneous and synchronous process. The two physical agents can be applied independently.

The ultrasound treatment is based on the implementation of a handpiece (head) by a special mechanism that produces vibratory motion of very high frequency (1 Megahertz). This mechanical action, once applied the head in the desired area, produces a series of oscillatory movements of the order of 1 million vibrations per second.

These vibrations produced within the body tissue, as a primary effect, mechanical and thermal action, giving rise to other side effects.

ULTRASOUND A powerful mechanical stirring action produces a intracellular high energy tissue micro massage. This cell friction or agitation, caused by the ultrasonic vibration, triggers in depth an increased temperature.

COLD (cryotherapy)
It is the use of cold for therapeutic purposes. Their application produces a series of mediate and immediate effects. Cools tissues producing a vasoconstrictor action on the skin. Generates an anti-inflammatory action by blocking inflammatory mediators. Produces an analgesic action by blocking pain receptors and reduces painful while driving raises your threshold. After the application of cold in the treated tissue occurs indeed a reflex vasodilation and consequently improved circulation. It is also used to modify the patient’s sensory threshold.

COMBINATION THERAPY (sono cryotherapy)
The simultaneous application of ultrasound and cold with a single applicator significantly improves the therapeutic response of different treatments due to a summation of effects in which a power to the other therapy resulting in a considerable saving in time and an improvement in the therapeutic quality. RESULTS Applying sono cryotherapy is indicated in various inflammatory processes, trauma, vascular disease, bruises resorption, etc.
