Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to gently warm tissue beneath the skin. The heat increases circulation and helps ease stiffness, making it a common part of care for muscle and joint pain, tendon irritation, and other soft-tissue conditions. It is applied directly by a clinician as part of a broader treatment plan.
How It Helps
- Pain relief — deep warming can reduce discomfort in muscles and soft tissue.
- Improved circulation — increased blood flow supports the body's natural healing process.
- Reduced stiffness — loosened tissue can make movement and stretching more comfortable.
When It's Used
- Sports Injury Rehabilitation — addressing strains and overuse injuries.
- Back Pain Treatment and Neck Pain Treatment — easing muscle tension around the spine.
- Tendonitis Treatment — calming irritation in tendons before or alongside exercise therapy.
What to Expect
During a session, a small ultrasound device is moved across the treatment area using a conductive gel. Sessions are brief and are typically paired with other approaches, such as manual therapy or exercise therapy, to support overall recovery. Our on-site ultrasound machines are used as part of individualized treatment plans developed for each patient's specific condition and goals.
