Combining ultrasound and electrical stimulation for pain relief in Bangkok | J-CLINIC Physical therapy treatment
Hi, this is Kik from J-CLINIC Thonglor branch in Bangkok.
Today, I’m going to introduce you to our ultrasound and high-voltage therapy.
ultrasound and high-voltage therapy
As an effective way to relieve pain, it’s popular among people suffering pain from injuries and chronic back pain.
What is “ultrasound/high-voltage therapy”?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy is a combination therapy that uses (1) high-voltage electricity to loosen up superficial muscle tension and (2) ultrasound to relax the deeper muscles that can’t be reached by hand.
Many of the world’s top athletes use this type of electrotherapy after their daily practice, as part of their conditioning program.
What results can you expect?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy accelerates cell repair. It speeds up the healing of injuries and helps to relieve pain.
Benefits of ultrasound/high voltage therapy
What symptoms can be treated?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy is effective for treating sprained backs, chronic shoulder stiffness, frozen shoulders, sciatica, tendonitis, sprains, and pulled muscle(torn muscle), as well as for rehabilitation after surgery.
It’s also suitable for treating Osgood disease, shin splints, and various sports injuries common among both children and adults.
What are the key features of ultrasound/high-voltage therapy?
The combination therapy can treat deep muscles that can’t be reached by hand.
It’s also more efficient because it can apply two kinds of stimuli to the problem spots.
How is it combined with manual therapy?
Using high-performance treatment alone is good, but combining it with manual therapy can make the treatment even more effective.
Professional development: To make sure you get the best treatment, we pay attention to continually improving our therapists’ technique.
Motion & manipulation therapy combines manual techniques with electrotherapy and uses movement to loosen up joints with a reduced range of motion. Trigger points can be treated more quickly with this method.
Case studies
Many of the common symptoms we’ve mentioned in past posts can be treated using the ultrasound/high-voltage treatment device.
See how we treat back pain with a combination of electrotherapy and manual therapy.
We hope this gives you a better idea of how ultrasound/high-voltage therapy works.
If you are living with pain that you can’t get rid of because you don’t know the cause, or that you thought was an inevitable part of aging, or that can’t be relieved by surgery, do contact us for a consultation.

Common problems for ballet dancers: Hip and knee joint pain
Hello, my name is Sato and I run J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.
We see many ballet dancers at J-CLINIC, and a common complaint is pain in both the hip and knee joints. In this post, I will discuss the causes and treatments for such pain, based on an actual case.
A patient case
Twenty-year-old Ms. M has been dancing classical ballet for 10 years. Two months before a performance, she felt pain in her right hip.
Pain gradually began to appear also in her right knee, at which point she came to J-CLINIC for help.
J-CLINIC’s diagnosis
We checked Ms. M’s movements and pain and identified two causes of her hip pain.
(1) Overuse of her right leg
Because her left leg was weaker, Ms. M more often used the right leg as the pivot, which placed an extra burden on the right leg.
(2) Incorrect muscle use for internal and external leg rotation
Ms. M was using her muscles incorrectly to maintain leg turnout in the five basic ballet positions. This strained her right hip.
The knee pain was likely caused by the strain of shielding the right hip joint while dancing.
Given these causes, J-CLINIC’s treatment for Ms. M comprised:
Manual therapy(Deep tissue massage）
Deep-tissue massage to relax muscle tension and adjust your body balance
Motion & manipulation (M&M)
Motion & manipulation therapy to improve hip- and knee-joint motion．
Acupuncture
Acupuncture improves blood flow to the stiff muscle tissue that is causing you pain and limiting your range of motion. The improved blood flow will flush out the pain-producing substances collecting in the stiff areas. It also relieves tension in joints and muscle ligaments, giving you better a range of motion and relief from pain.
Ultrasound and high voltage therapy
Ultrasound and high voltage therapy promotes cellular repair. It speeds up healing and relieves pain.
Advice on stretching and other exercises
After the pain goes down, we will teach you exercises that you can do at home and self-care tips to prevent your injury from recurring.
Ms. M continued her ballet lessons for the two months leading up to her performance while being treated twice a week at J-CLINIC, and she was able to perform as planned.
In movements such as relevé, where a dancer goes up on her toes, the hips, knees, and ankles align themselves along the same axis, which makes it common for pain or strain in one area to trigger pain in another.
It’s therefore important to seek treatment as soon as possible if you have pain or discomfort in your body.
For many dancers and athletes, overuse and fatigue are common causes of injuries. You can also get fatigue recovery care at J-CLINIC before and after lessons and important performances, so please come over for a consultation!

Physical therapy for ballet dancers in Bangkok | J-CLINIC
Today, we’d like to talk about J-CLINIC’s physical therapy for ballet dancers in Bangkok.
Classic ballet may appear graceful, but dancers often suffer injuries stemming from ballet’s hard demands on the body.
Dancers must take positions that place strain on the body or move in a manner that goes beyond the body’s ‘normal’ range of movement. They need to jump off the tip of their toes while wearing toe shoes and frequently do splits that keep their hips open 180 degrees.
For these reasons, the majority of ballet injuries tend to occur in the lower limbs, in the hip joints, knees, and ankles.
Why we recommend J-CLINIC’s physical therapy for ballet dancers
1. Tackle the fundamental cause of your pain
J-CLINIC will not only look at where the pain is but consider the body as a system to identify the fundamental cause of your pain. Our treatment seeks to get to the root of the problem so that the pain does not recur.
