Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is the use of sound waves to treat a variety of muscle, bone, and ligament conditions. Heat is generated by the vibration of sound waves. When tissues in the body are vibrating, the friction produced occurs at the molecular level. This ultimately causes the temperature in the tissues to rise. This is one of the many advantages ultrasound application provides. It can penetrate deep into the tissues in ways that a hot pack can’t. Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat: 

  • Bursitis and Tendonitis 
  • Muscle Spasms 
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis 
  • Muscle strains and tears
