Therapeutic ultrasound is utilized for injuries related to most soft tissues, joints and muscle spasms. While it shares the same name, this ultrasound is not the same as that used diagnostically to screen the body internally. Ultrasound emits small sound waves at an extremely high frequency that is out of the range of human hearing.
When applied to problem areas in soft tissues and joints, it produces heat that helps reduce inflammation and increase blood flow, in addition to decreasing pain, stiffness, and spasms. Therapeutic ultrasound is also believed to have a positive effect on the healing process. While its effects and goals are different from ultrasound screening technologies, ultrasound therapy is implemented in much the same way.
We will apply ultrasound gel to your skin to reduce friction and allow for better transmission of the ultrasound waves. Therapeutic ultrasound has been shown to facilitate the body's healing process at the most basic cellular level.
