Ultrasound uses ultra high frequency sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear to stimulate the tissue below the skin. These sound waves are primarily absorbed by the tendons, ligaments, fascia and scar tissue and can accelerate healing, diminish pain and inflammation, improve motion and decrease muscle spasms.
Conditions Ultrasound is used to treat include:
- Sprains and Strains
- Joint inflammation
- Plantar fasciitis
- Subacromial bursitis
