Ultrasound therapy is an increasingly popular modality for those dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury. It is a type of therapy that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to address damaged soft tissues and reduce pain.
Get to the root of your pain, naturally.
Ultrasound therapy is a type of therapy that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to address damaged soft tissues and reduce pain.
Ultrasound produces heat and vibration in the affected area, which helps reduce inflammation and stimulate circulation. This can increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, helping it heal faster.
Ultrasound therapy has many benefits, including:
Additionally, ultrasound therapy is non-invasive and there is no need for recovery time after the procedure.
Ultrasound therapy typically lasts 10-15 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition. During the session, a gel is applied to your skin to create a better transmission of the ultrasound waves. You may feel a slight warming sensation during the therapy, which is normal. After the procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately.
Ultrasound therapy is a safe and effective modality for those dealing with injuries or chronic pain conditions. It is non-invasive and has minimal side effects. However, ultrasound therapy should only be used under the guidance of a qualified professional.
Ultrasound therapy is suitable for a variety of conditions and can be used to address both acute and chronic pain. It is often recommended for those suffering from sports injuries, muscle strains, tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other types of soft tissue injury.
It can also be used to help manage chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and neck or back pain.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterised by symptoms such as widespread body aches, joint pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. It can affect both the physical and mental health of those living with the condition. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is thought to be linked to a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
Ultrasound therapy can be a useful tool in managing chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia. The ultrasound waves create heat, which increases circulation and reduces stiffness in the muscles. Additionally, ultrasound therapy can help reduce inflammation, which can help to reduce overall pain levels.
Other chronic pains such as neck and back pain can be debilitating, causing stiffness and aching muscles that can interfere with daily activities. It is often caused by overuse or strain, as well as poor posture or underlying medical conditions such as arthritis or scoliosis. Neck and back pain can range from mild to severe, making it difficult to manage on a daily basis.
Ultrasound therapy can be used to successfully manage chronic neck and back pain. The ultrasound waves create a thermal effect which helps to reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and promote healing in the affected area. This allows for more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients, helping to reduce inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Sports injuries can occur when an athlete overexerts themselves, or they are not properly conditioned and trained. Examples of sports injuries include sprains, strains, tendonitis, fractures, and dislocations. These injuries can be painful and cause a significant amount of discomfort.
Ultrasound therapy is an effective method for these types of injuries, as it helps to reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating the healing process. The ultrasound waves create a thermal effect that helps to stimulate circulation and improve tissue elasticity. This allows for more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, resulting in faster recovery times.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the wrist, causing it to become inflamed and painful. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve that runs from the forearm into the hand, resulting in an uncomfortable sensation, tingling, or numbness. The pain can be sharp and shooting, or a dull ache that radiates up the arm.
Ultrasound therapy can be used to address carpal tunnel syndrome, as it helps to reduce inflammation and pain. The ultrasound waves create heat, which relaxes tight muscles and reduces pressure on the median nerve. This allows for increased circulation, reducing swelling and helping to repair damaged tissues.
