Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy offers a number of potential therapeutic benefits for patients with pain or injury. 

Flexibility: the application of ultrasound therapy aims to improve the flexibility of tendons and ligaments, reducing their stiffness and enhancing their ability to move quickly and more efficiently. 

Reduction of pain and inflammation: For beginners, the therapy can relieve pain and heal the deeper tissues of the body. It also reduces muscle spasms and tension, as well as inflammation that may be considered a source of pain, and accelerates healing.

Relaxes Tissue Tension: ultrasound therapy treats musculoskeletal disorders caused by damage to muscle tissue due to accidents or injuries. Delivering deep heat to the tissues relieves tension and increases blood flow, helping the cells to receive healing fluids. This makes it effective in treating soft tissue lesions and surgical wounds.

Improved Circulation: Ultrasound treatments may help to increase circulation, freeing up blood vessels and allowing blood to flow more freely to areas that need healing. This improved circulation also helps to increase the rate of tissue recovery. 

Breaks down scar tissue: The effects of the treatment cause tiny vibrations that affect the fibres and cause scar tissue to form. The breakdown of scar tissue increases range of motion and maintains it for long-term relief.

Ultrasound Therapy Sound waves are often used to treat patients suffering from musculoskeletal problems. This includes the symptoms and diseases of tendonitis, bursitis, gout, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and fibromyalgia. The pain usually occurs in the muscles, bones and joints. Instead of using electricity, the ultrasound device stimulates the tissue with sound waves. Ultrasound devices can be used on the neck, shoulders, wrists, upper and lower back, hips, legs, knees and foot areas.
