Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy, also known as therapeutic ultrasound, is a medical treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate tissue healing and relieve pain. The sound waves are transmitted through a handheld device that is applied to the skin over the affected area.
Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, sprains, and joint inflammation. The sound waves help to increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
During an ultrasound therapy session, a gel is applied to the skin over the affected area to help transmit the sound waves. The handheld device is then moved in circular motions over the area, emitting high-frequency sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissue.
