Therapeutic Ultrasound: Comforting, soothing and promotes long term health.

Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound is a physical therapy treatment for tendon and ligament injuries. It also helps to control the pain connected with arthritic joints. Human physical therapy modalities have employed it for 20 years. Extensive research confirms its benefits. It allows tendon injuries to heal more rapidly, and it promotes collagen fiber formation to maximaize the long term ultimate tensile strength of the tendon.

Ultrasound (acoustic energy) simulates cellular activity by increasing cellular protein synthesis. Its high frequency sound waves cause mechanical vibrations that micro massage at a cellular level. Ultrasound effectively treats joint conditions and soft tissue injuries, as well as chronic conditions. It promotes healing of sores and surgical wounds by improving vascularization, decreasing swelling and resolving them with minimal fibrosis.

Conditions which can benefit from ultrasound therapy are:

— Tendinitis & ligament injuries
— Arthritic joints
— Muscular pain
—Wound healing & reduction of scar tissue
— Pain & muscle spasm
— Reduction of swelling
— Post surgical healing
