Therapeutic Ultrasound

 

Therapeutic Ultrasound (TU) provides thermal and mechanical stimulation to promote tissue healing for muscle, tendon, joint capsule, ligament and bone. TU can improve mobility, return soft tissue to normal following injury, reduce scar tissue and enhance bone repair.

TU can be applied usinbg a pulsed or continuous wave, different sound heads to determine the depth of sound wave penetration and adjustable intensity depending on the tissue and condition the clinician is treating.

Indications for the use of TU includes, but not limited to, bursitis, tendonitis, calcified tendons, muscle strains, spasms and trigger points, fracture healing, ligament sprains and chronic synovitis.
