The Cryoultrasound, unique of its kind, bases its action on the combination of two well recognised and valued therapies: cryotherapy and ultrasound therapy. Using these two techniques together potentiates the normal therapeutic effects whilst eliminating the counter-indications for ultrasound..
Cryoultrasound aids the healing process and speeds recovery by breaking the pain-spasm-inactivity cycle.
This device is indicated for the treatment of patients with a recent injury or with acute or chronique inflammatory condition.
The contemporary use of these techniques immediately after a trauma facilitates the healing process and the recovery of sportsmen, as confirmed by the scientific studies carried out at Parma and Catanzaro Universities. Sports Associations well know how much their sportsmen inactivity would cost: full recovery in the shortest time possible is therefore the basic goal of each sports doctor. With Cryoultrasound™ it is safe and possible.
The combined use of cryotherapy and ultrasound therapy gives a mechanical, thermal and biological therapeutic action.
Mechanical Effects:
Mechanical forces stimulate connective tissue and muscle cells to produce more collagen and proteoglycans.
Thermal Effect:
The visible reddening of the skin after treatment with Cryoultrasound is symptomatic of the increase in superficial or dermal circulation. A zone of derma and muscle are usually supplied by a common artery so treatment with Cryoultrasound, producing an increase in dermal circulation, causes a simultaneous decrease in muscle circulation. That is why Cryoultrasound treatment can begin immediately after injury when the application of the probe causes an initial vasoconstriction followed by superficial vasodilation and reduction of blood flow at muscle level (haemostasis).
Biological Effect:
The temperature difference created between skin and underlying muscle gives a greater circulatory effect and an increase in metabolism.
:
- allows the treatment of acute and chronic pathologies;
- facilitates the healing process;
- determines the breaking of pain-spasm-inactivity cycle, speeding up recovery;
- creates an analgesic, anti-inflammatory situation;
- exploits the maximum power in ultrasound and cryotherapy;
