Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment used in physiotherapy to reduce pain, promote tissue healing, and improve mobility. By using sound waves to deliver gentle heat deep into the tissues, this therapy helps accelerate the body’s natural recovery process.

At our clinic, ultrasound therapy is often used alongside other physiotherapy treatments to enhance results and support your overall rehabilitation.

What Is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves delivered through a handheld device applied to the skin. These sound waves penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, and soft tissues to stimulate healing and reduce discomfort.

It is commonly used for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

How Does Ultrasound Therapy Work?

Ultrasound therapy works by:

• Increasing blood flow to the affected area
• Promoting tissue repair and regeneration
• Reducing pain and inflammation
• Decreasing muscle spasms and stiffness
• Improving flexibility and range of motion

The gentle heat generated by the sound waves helps relax tight tissues and improve healing.

Conditions Treated

Ultrasound therapy can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:

• Muscle strains and ligament sprains
• Tendon injuries (tendonitis)
• Joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip)
• Back and neck pain
• Scar tissue and soft tissue injuries
• Sports injuries
• Chronic pain conditions

It is typically used as part of a broader physiotherapy treatment plan.

What to Expect During Treatment

• A gel is applied to the skin over the treatment area
• A handheld device is moved gently across the area
• You may feel mild warmth or no sensation at all
• Sessions usually last 5–10 minutes per area
• There is no downtime after treatment

Your physiotherapist will adjust the treatment based on your condition and comfort level.
