Combination therapy

Combination therapy: stimulation current & ultrasound


Combination therapy combines two proven methods of physical therapy - stimulation current and ultrasound - to create a synergetic treatment method. This combination provides intensive stimulation of the tissue and is used to reduce pain, inhibit inflammation and promote healing for numerous indications.

Combination therapy offers a number of convincing advantages that enable targeted, deep-acting and time-efficient treatment. The simultaneous application of different forms of therapy significantly increases the effect of the treatment, which not only shortens the duration of treatment but also improves the results. Particularly in the case of chronic pain syndromes, the improved depth effect ensures lasting relief of symptoms. In addition, the method enables targeted therapy of tissue that is difficult to access, which is often not possible with conventional approaches. These synergy effects make combination therapy a modern, effective approach in pain and rehabilitation medicine.

Stimulation current therapy: activation through electrical impulses

Stimulation current therapy uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, relieve pain and boost the metabolism. Depending on the type of current (e.g. TENS, EMS, interference), the treatment can have a toning, pain-relieving or circulation-promoting effect. The therapy is individually tailored to the symptoms.

Ultrasound therapy: Deep-acting micromassage & heat

Ultrasound therapy is a proven technique for the targeted influencing of tissue structures using mechanical vibrations. It is used as continuous or pulsed ultrasound with frequencies of 1 MHz or 3 MHz - depending on the therapeutic objective.

Its mechanisms of action include

  • Thermal effects: Generation of local heat at boundary layers such as joints or bones.
  • Mechanical effects: Micromassage through tissue vibration promotes cell metabolism.

Ultrasound gel is used for optimum sound transmission or, alternatively, treatment under water (subaqual), as air reflects sound.

Areas of application

The simultaneous application of stimulation current and ultrasound combines pain-relieving, circulation-promoting and healing-stimulating effects. Typical indications are

  • AC dislocation
  • Herniated disc with radiculopathy
  • Epicondylitis (tennis/golf elbow)
  • Achillodynia
  • Patellar tendinitis
  • Torn muscle fibers
  • Fractures

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Periostitis
  • Fibromyalgia syndrome
  • Tendopathies

  • Neuralgia
  • Insertional tendopathies
  • Ulcus cruris
  • Venous insufficiency
  • Pressure ulcers
