Ultrasound Therapy for Pain Relief and Healing

What is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound therapy is a trusted treatment in physical therapy and rehabilitation for managing pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing. By using therapeutic sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues, this non-invasive and painless treatment supports the body's natural recovery process.

How Ultrasound Therapy Workds

Ultrasound therapy involves the use of high-frequency sound waves, typically ranging from 1 to 3 MHz. A handheld transducer, applied to the skin with a conductive gel, delivers these sound waves to the targeted area. The effects include:

• Gentle deep heating of tissues
• Micro-massage at the cellular level
• Improved blood flow and circulation
• Stimulated tissue repair and regeneration

Conditions Treated with Ultrasound Therapy

Therapeutic ultrasound can be beneficial for a wide range of musculosketal conditions including:

• Acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries
• Joint pain and soft tissue conditions
• Post-surgical recovery
• Chronic pain management

What to Expect During an Ultrasound Therapy Session

A typical session lasts between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on the condition and treatment area. The therapist applies a conductive gel to the skin and moves the transducer in circular motions over the affected region. Most patients feel a mild warming sensation - or no sensation at all - during treatment.
