Therapeutic ultrasound can alleviate your pain.
At McCabe and Brady Physical Therapy, therapeutic ultrasound is a common treatment modality. The ultrasound machine converts electricity into high-frequency sound waves that penetrate our body’s tissues.
These sound waves cause the particles in our tissues to oscillate, resulting in a local increase in blood flow. This means that the area directly beneath the ultrasound “sound head” has increased circulation, which aids in healing.
What conditions can therapeutic ultrasound treat?
Therapeutic ultrasound is most commonly used to promote tissue healing in the following conditions:
- Arthritis (i.e., osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Bursitis
- Soft tissue disorders (i.e., sprains, strains, and tendinopathy)
- Scar tissue pain and restrictions
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome
