Ultrasound therapy

Reformed physical factor using ultrasound for therapeutic purposes

How does it work?

Therapeutic ultrasound usually refers to any type of ultrasound that uses ultrasound for therapeutic benefit. The range of applicability of ultrasound therapy is quite wide, with the help of which you can fight sports injuries and diseases such as:

  •  tendonitis;
  •  bursitis;
  • arthrosis and other degenerative diseases;
  • injuries;
  • muscle pain;

The OKTO team will provide you with comprehensive information on all fields of this type of therapy to help you as much as possible in your treatment.

What are the main benefits?

The effects of ultrasound therapy are related to the effects of the passage of waves through tissues and the absorption of mechanical energy.

When the ultrasonic waves pass, vortex movements occur in the cytoplasm of the cells and the intracellular metabolism is activated, which is a kind of micromassage of the tissues.

Also, as a result of ultrasound therapy, small bubbles form in the tissues, which lead to various physicochemical phenomena.

The effects of the absorption of mechanical energy by tissues are mainly related to their heating, the so-called thermal effect, which in therapeutic doses of ultrasound is associated with increased metabolism, nerve conduction and decreased spastic muscle tone.

This thermal effect is associated with a local increase in tissue temperature in a small degree range and no heat is felt during the procedure itself.

The effect of ultrasound therapy is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, improving microcirculation and stimulating regeneration.

Ultrasound therapy is applied directly to the problem area with the help of the sound head of the device.

A medicinal or contact gel must be used.

The procedure takes about 3-10 minutes, and the course of treatment can last from 6-12 procedures.

You will not feel the effects of ultrasound during ultrasound therapy in any way.

The effect of ultrasound therapy is expressed in analgesic, anti-inflammatory, improving microcirculation and stimulating regeneration action.

Okto is the best physio practice I’ve been to. They make you feel amazing from walking into the centre to leaving and in between sessions, with follow up messages and check ups. I live in London, originally from Sofia and I was impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail. I have to say... that Dimityr has managed to make a difference to my shoulder, back and neck pains over 3 sessions! It’s incredible. Thank you so much. I’ll always be back to see you when in Bulgaria.read more

I'm very happy that I went with my gut to come to Okto! The people who work there are true professionals, who are very easy to talk to, and who know what they are doing. They explain things very clearly and are constantly letting you know what they are doing and why they are doing it.The space... itself is clean, and very modern looking. The tools that they used were at the top of what I've seen in Bulgaria, both in hospitals and in private practices.Overall, the experience I've had was amazing!read more
