Ultrasound Therapy
We provide Ultrasound Therapy services
Ultrasound therapy is a type of physical therapy that uses high-frequency sound waves to treat musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. During an ultrasound therapy session, a therapist applies a small handheld device called an ultrasound transducer to the skin over the affected area. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves that penetrate the skin and underlying tissues, causing vibration and generating heat in the tissues.
Ultrasound therapy is performed by our licensed physical therapists. This therapy is generally considered safe and non-invasive, with few side effects. However, ultrasound therapy may not be appropriate for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Ultrasound therapy has been used for many years in the field of physical therapy and is generally considered safe and effective for treating certain musculoskeletal conditions.
Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
1. Tendinitis: Ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in tendons affected by tendinitis.
2. Muscle strains and sprains: Ultrasound therapy can help promote healing and reduce pain and swelling in muscles and ligaments affected by strains or sprains.
3. Joint stiffness: Ultrasound therapy can help improve mobility and reduce stiffness in joints affected by conditions such as arthritis.
4. Scar tissue: Ultrasound therapy can help break down scar tissue and improve tissue flexibility in areas of the body affected by scarring.
5. Pain relief: Ultrasound therapy can help relieve pain by increasing blood flow to the affected area, promoting tissue healing and reducing inflammation.
