Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing in soft tissues. Commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings, it helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue repair.
How It Works
During treatment, a handheld device is moved gently over the skin in the affected area. This device emits sound waves that penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These waves cause microscopic vibrations that increase blood flow, relax muscle spasms, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.
Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Improves range of motion
- Accelerates tissue healing after injury or surgery
- Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions
- Enhances the effectiveness of other therapies
Ultrasound therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, and joint pain.
