What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?

‍Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to treat musculoskeletal conditions by promoting tissue healing, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound for imaging, therapeutic ultrasound delivers focused energy to deep tissues for treatment purposes.

Why is therapeutic ultrasound beneficial?

• Deep tissue treatment: Reaches areas inaccessible to other therapies.
• Pain relief: Reduces inflammation and muscle spasms.
• Healing promotion: Increases blood flow and cellular repair.

Common uses for therapeutic ultrasound

• Tendonitis and bursitis treatment.
• Muscle strain recovery.
• Scar tissue breakdown.
