Uses sound waves, over the frequency of what the human ear can
detect, to provide images or therapeutic properties. Therapeutic ultrasound
facilitates cellular metabolism and the healing of damaged tissues. Structures
within the body that benefit the most from ultrasound include tendons,
ligaments, fascia, scar tissue and joint capsules.
The benefits of ultrasound include:
- Soft tissue, tendon and ligament injury
- Reduces pain
- Relieves sore and spasmodic muscles
- Improves contracted tendons
- Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions
