Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy is the use of sound waves to treat medical problems, especially musculoskeletal problems like inflammation from injuries (sprains, tendinitis, bursitis).

It is also being successfully used in the treatment of blocked breast ducts during breastfeeding.

Ultrasound is applied using the head of an ultrasound probe that is placed in direct contact with your skin via a transmission coupling gel.

Therapeutic ultrasound has been shown to cause increases in:

• healing rates
• tissue relaxation
• tissue heating
• local blood flow
• scar tissue breakdown
