Phonophoresis in Kyiv

CSM Clinic offers a course of phonophoresis in Kyiv using modern equipment that makes it possible to improve the effectiveness of sessions. Phonophoresis treatment is carried out under the supervision of qualified specialists with extensive experience in this field.

In medical literature and the media you may come across other names for phonophoresis: "ultrasound phonophoresis," "sonophoresis," "ultrasound therapy." Phonophoresis is a physiotherapy technique whose principle of action is the combined use of ultrasound and medications. During a session, the necessary drug is applied to the patient's skin and exposed to ultrasound waves, which improves the penetration of the medication into the layers of the skin. Not all devices have characteristics that make it possible to create a depot of the drug in the layers of the skin with its subsequent penetration into the body. Our equipment has a wide range of characteristics and makes it possible to achieve the phonophoresis effect.

Indications for Phonophoresis

General indications

Phonophoresis is prescribed for various neurological, dermatological and other diseases, since the range of uses of this physiotherapy procedure is quite wide.

A course of phonophoresis is recommended for those who have:

• spinal diseases: osteochondrosis, radiculitis, intervertebral hernias, etc.;
• pathologies or injuries of the musculoskeletal system;
• vascular pathologies;
• pathologies of the skin.

Experienced neurologists and rehabilitation specialists at CSM prescribe courses of phonophoresis as part of comprehensive treatment, which helps achieve a good result. If necessary, the course can be supplemented with other methods and procedures that improve the result of drug, postoperative, preventive and rehabilitation treatment.

Age-related features

The age range of patients for whom phonophoresis may be indicated runs from infants to the elderly. Many of our patients are men and women who do fitness, active tourism and sports, drive, and do work that involves prolonged loads on the spine.

Musculoskeletal pathologies most often first appear after age 45-50. At this age, hormonal changes and the onset of aging processes place significant strain on the musculoskeletal system. In addition, with age the joint tissues wear out and the likelihood of developing pathologies rises substantially.

Among women, the need for courses of phonophoresis rises in the 30-50 age range. During this period, women often gain excess weight and develop an imbalance in mineral salt absorption, which leads to osteoporosis.

Phonophoresis for Athletes

Phonophoresis is also recommended as restorative therapy for athletes and people with increased physical strain on the body due to the nature of their work or training:

• after sports injuries;
• for rheumatic and lower back pain;
• for arthritis and arthrosis;
• for ligament sprains, etc.

The use of phonophoresis is linked to its regenerative properties: under the influence of ultrasound, the body's protective functions are triggered, the state of the autonomic nervous system normalizes, and the absorption properties of each tissue layer increase. In addition, blood absorbs ultrasound waves less intensively than muscle tissue (by a factor of 10) or bone tissue (by a factor of 75). Also, other organs are not affected by the administered drugs, since the drug acts in a targeted way on the affected area.

With age, the number of pathologies of the musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems increases. That is why many of our patients have plexitis, back pain, neuropathies and carpal tunnel syndrome. People who enjoy working on their garden plots often come to CSM. This kind of activity involves additional excessive loads: lifting heavy objects, staying in a static position for a long time, etc.

Physiotherapy, including phonophoresis, may substantially improve the results of drug treatment of diseases in general. At CSM this procedure is carried out as prescribed by qualified doctors, on expert-class equipment (the BTL-4825SL PREMIUM device).

Phonophoresis is most often prescribed to relieve pain from various diseases as quickly as possible and to return to a normal rhythm of life sooner. In some cases, when irreversible changes in the tissues have not occurred, the phonophoresis procedure may help get rid of the disease and its unpleasant symptoms faster.

When prescribing phonophoresis, CSM specialists take all possible contraindications into account. If necessary, referrals to other specialists are issued to identify them.

Preparation for the procedure

The procedure does not require special preparation. The patient only needs to wear comfortable clothing, carry out hygiene procedures so that the skin pores open better, and not apply cosmetic products to the skin that interfere with the passage of ultrasound waves and medications.

Effects

Ultrasound waves improve the permeability of cell membranes and give them a "micromassage." The procedure is accompanied by the release of heat, which helps activate blood microcirculation, the release of natural collagen and increased oxygen uptake by tissues.

Ultrasound phonophoresis:

• improves blood circulation;
• has an anti-inflammatory effect;
• helps medicinal substances penetrate more effectively to the affected area;
• speeds up regeneration processes;
• helps restore the function of affected tissues.

The therapeutic results and benefits of phonophoresis are complemented by the effects of the medication used during the session. During phonophoresis the drug enters the skin through the pores of the sebaceous and sweat glands and by transcellular and intercellular routes. After about an hour it enters the blood and accumulates in the tissues, acting on them.

The main goals of phonophoresis treatment are to relieve pain, influence the inflammatory process (an anti-inflammatory effect) and speed up recovery. A full course of treatment depends on the disease; the number of procedures may vary from 6 to 15 (the number is determined by the doctor).
