Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to warm and repair deep tissue that surface treatments can't reach.
Therapeutic ultrasound sends high-frequency sound waves through a small handheld probe into the deeper layers of muscle, tendon and ligament — well beyond what heat packs or ice can reach.
How it works
The sound waves cause a gentle vibration in the tissue cells, generating deep heat and increasing local blood flow. This speeds up the natural healing process and helps break down scar tissue and adhesions that limit movement.
Benefits
- Reduces deep muscle and tendon pain
- Speeds healing of tendinitis, ligament sprains and frozen shoulder
- Softens scar tissue and adhesions after surgery or injury
- Improves the effectiveness of stretching that follows the session
The treatment is painless and typically lasts 5-10 minutes, often paired with exercise therapy in the same visit.
