Therapeutic Ultrasound

therapu_ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is beneficial in treating soft tissue injuries by reducing swelling and inflammation, increasing blood flow/circulation and by softening scar tissue or fibrous adhesions that have formed in chronically injured soft tissue. Ultrasound therapy is applied directly to the patient’s skin with a wand or probe. Gel is used as a coupling agent so that the ultrasound waves are transmitted into the soft tissue efficiently.
