Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves, not to be confused with diagnostic ultrasound, to treat injuries in muscles, joints, and soft tissues. The sound waves create a micro-massage effect that helps reduce scar tissue, inflammation, and promotes healing by stimulating cellular repair. In chronic cases, it also generates deep heat to relax muscles and relieve spasms.
How It Works: Ultrasound waves penetrate deep into tissues, breaking down unhealthy calcium deposits and other hard tissue buildup.
What It Feels Like: The gel used is kept warm for comfort, and most patients feel either nothing or a soothing sensation during the treatment.
Why It’s Used: Ultrasound therapy is often used because it penetrates deeply into the affected area, helping to increase blood flow, relax muscle spasms, and even speed up the overall healing process in a gentle and effective way.
Benefits: Ultrasound helps stimulate the body’s natural healing, improves blood flow in a targeted way, reduces nerve irritation, and even aids with calcium deposition, all while enhancing the body’s overall recovery process.
