Therapeutic Ultrasound
Understanding Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive modality commonly used in physical therapy to promote tissue healing and alleviate pain. It involves the application of high-frequency sound waves to targeted areas of the body, generating deep heat that can penetrate soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Implementing Therapeutic Ultrasound in Practice
In clinical practice, therapeutic ultrasound is applied by physical therapists following a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition and treatment goals. The treatment parameters, including ultrasound frequency, intensity, and duration, are carefully selected based on the specific needs of the individual.
Key Features of Our Chiropractic Adjustment Service
Therapeutic ultrasound offers targeted pain relief and tissue healing through deep penetration, enhanced circulation, and muscle relaxation.
Deep Tissue Penetration
Ultrasound reaches deep tissues, aiding musculoskeletal conditions by penetrating several centimeters beneath the skin's surface.
Promotion of Tissue Healing
Therapeutic ultrasound boosts blood flow, speeding tissue repair and removing waste, thus supporting the healing process effectively.
Pain Management
Ultrasound alleviates pain by stimulating nerves, relaxing muscles, reducing spasms, and enhancing range of motion for improved comfort.
