Ultrasound Therapy

Q: Is therapeutic ultrasound the same as diagnostic ultrasound?

No, they use different frequencies and intensities. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to promote healing and reduce pain, while diagnostic ultrasound creates images for medical examination.

Q: Does ultrasound therapy hurt?

No, ultrasound therapy is painless. Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation in the treated area. The practitioner applies gel to the skin and moves the ultrasound head in circular motions.

Q: What conditions does ultrasound therapy help?

Ultrasound therapy is effective for muscle spasms, tendinitis, bursitis, soft tissue injuries, scar tissue, joint stiffness, and chronic inflammation. It's often used alongside other treatments.

Q: How many ultrasound therapy sessions are needed?

Treatment plans typically involve 6-12 sessions depending on the condition. Acute injuries may respond quickly, while chronic conditions may require longer treatment periods.

Q: Can ultrasound therapy help with scar tissue?

Yes, ultrasound therapy is effective at breaking down scar tissue and adhesions. The sound waves help soften and remodel scar tissue, improving flexibility and reducing pain.

Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to promote tissue healing, reduce muscle spasms, and increase blood flow to injured areas.
