Ultrasound Therapy
What is Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive physical therapy modality that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, helping to reduce pain and support the natural healing process.
This treatment is particularly effective in improving circulation in muscles, tendons, and connective tissues, thereby accelerating tissue repair and recovery.

Mechanism of Action
Ultrasound waves create both thermal and mechanical effects in the targeted area:
- Increased tissue temperature
- Enhanced blood circulation
- Improved cellular metabolism
- Reduction of muscle spasms
- Increased tissue elasticity
These combined effects help relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and improve overall mobility.
