Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is used to handle injuries related to joints, muscle spasms, as well as most soft tissues.  Ultrasound therapy is used as a treatment to generate heat within a specific body part.  It does this by using sound waves to generate heat within a specific body part by creating small sound waves that in effect vibrate and massage soft tissues and muscle as well as producing heat in the targeted area. These sound waves do an excellent job in facilitating the body’s healing process in addition to decreasing scar tissue formation.

Ultrasound therapy can also be helpful in Acute Injuries for Non-Thermal effects, meaning no heat is generated, but it can help increase blood flow to that area so that inflammation and swelling can be reduced.
