What is Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to promote tissue healing, pain relief, and mobility. It uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate tissues and stimulate cellular activity.
What can it Treat?
Muscle & Joint Pain – Helps with chronic pain, stiffness, and muscle tension.
Tendon & Ligament Injuries – Aids in healing of tendonitis, ligament sprains, and strains.
Arthritis & Joint Stiffness – Increases blood flow to reduce joint inflammation and stiffness.
Scar Tissue & Adhesions – Helps break down scar tissue and improve mobility.
Bursitis & Inflammation – Reduces swelling and pain in inflamed bursae.
Plantar Fasciitis – Can relieve heel pain and inflammation.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Reduces nerve irritation and swelling.
Delayed Tissue Healing (Fractures, Wounds) – Stimulates cell repair and promotes faster healing.
Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy:
Pain Relief – Reduces chronic and acute pain by improving circulation and decreasing muscle tightness.
Speeds Up Healing – Stimulates cell repair and tissue regeneration.
Reduces Inflammation & Swelling – Helps control joint and soft tissue inflammation.
Breaks Down Scar Tissue – Improves mobility and flexibility by softening adhesions.
Increases Blood Circulation – Brings oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues.
Improves Range of Motion – Helps restore joint and muscle mobility after injury.
Non-Invasive
How It Works During Treatment:
A gel is applied to the skin to allow sound waves to penetrate tissues.
A small ultrasound head is moved in circular motions over the affected area.
Treatment lasts 5-10 minutes, depending on the condition.
Most patients feel no discomfort, just a mild warming sensation.
