Acoustic waves of high frequency (1 – 3 MHz) are used in medical treatment

The tissue that is radiated by means of this type of waves undergoes micromassage whose effect is the increased temperature and accelerated microcirculation. The above tissue reactions have analgesic, relaxing and healing accelerating effects. By means of the increased blood circulation and mechanical activity of ultrasound waves, one can observe the favourable effect in the treatment of soft tissue calcification, the example of which can be calcanean spur. Acoustic waves are used in the treatment of chronic rheumatoid arthritis, arthrosis, periosteal hypertrophy (calcanean spur, osteophyte), chronic inflammatory conditions of muscles and articular capsules, backbone pain syndromes.
