Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. The sound waves generate gentle heat and vibrations, which increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate tissue repair.

Common Conditions Treated by Therapeutic Ultrasound:

1. Tendonitis – Reduces inflammation and promotes healing in inflamed tendons (e.g., rotator cuff or Achilles tendonitis).
   
   

2. Muscle Strains and Sprains – Speeds up recovery by enhancing circulation and reducing muscle tightness.
   
   

3. Arthritis – Eases joint pain and stiffness, particularly in conditions like osteoarthritis.
   
   

4. Bursitis – Reduces inflammation in the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) that cushion joints.
   
   

5. Plantar Fasciitis – Helps reduce heel pain and inflammation in the bottom of the foot.
   
   

6. Scar Tissue and Adhesions – Breaks down scar tissue and increases flexibility in affected areas.
   
   

7. Soft Tissue Injuries – Aids in the healing of bruises, contusions, and other soft tissue injuries.
   
   

Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used in physical therapy and chiropractic care to accelerate healing and reduce pain and inflammation in both acute and chronic conditions.
