Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is a painless, topically-applied therapy used to relieve pain and injuries to soft tissue.

Ultrasound is a form of energy that consists of high frequency vibrations. Using an applicator, these vibrations are delivered to the body by means of an ultrasound beam. These vibrations pass through the tissues of the body and are gradually absorbed and transformed into heat.

This temperature increase triggers biological changes to occur in soft tissues resulting in the following:

• relief of pain,
• relaxation of muscle spasms, and
• reduction of join contractures.

The ultrasound frequency and level of intensity are both adjusted to produce the desired therapeutic effect based on your specific needs.

Using ultrasound therapy in conjunction with Muscle Stimulation and manual adjustments can greatly reduce recovery time.
