The commonly stated range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, so we cannot hear the therapeutic ultrasound. By using the ultrasound, we trigger powerful mechanical, thermal and chemical effects. The mechanical effect – it is created with the movement of tissue particles that are passing through the ultrasound wave. With this kind of micro-massage we reinforce circulation. The chemical effect – ultrasound waves change the local pH level and the permeability of the cell membrane. This causes molecular changes. The thermal effect – a part of mechanical energy turns into heat energy.

Services
The services provided by the Tranfić Policlinic are aimed at the main goals set up in working with patients: removing pain, normalising functions and preventing physical suffering. We invest into knowledge and equipment in the way that therapy results be as fast as possible, with maximum patient security. In the earliest phase of pain and reduced functions, we use the laser, electroanalgesia, magnetic therapy, manual medicine (chiropractic) when possible, lymphatic drainage… Positional therapy is very important in that phase. In the later in-between phase we may use massages, manual medicine, electrotherapy, vacuum, electronic traction, short wave diathermy, infrared and ultraviolet lamps, balance table, kinesis-therapy… In the post-operative rehabilitation phase and recovery after a stroke (cerebrovascular accident), as well as at the end, rehabilitation needs to begin immediately, with a careful choice of procedures. Early rehabilitation significantly reduces the recovery period and yields better results. Losing time causes significant health and financial damage because the function of the damaged part of the body deteriorates quickly without rehabilitation. We pay equal attention to rehabilitation from neurological disorders (stroke…), traumas (dislocations and breakings), correction of the spine in kids and young people, rehabilitation of the urinary tract (incontinence). Retrieving of the function of the recovered part of the body, as well as the organism as a whole, is always at the centre of our interests.
