Ultrasound uses sound waves to penetrate deep inside the tissue using an applicator and a gel. Patients can benefit from ultrasound therapy in three ways: faster healing time because of increased blood flow to an area, decrease in swelling and pain in an area, and gentle stimulation of muscles, tendons and/or ligaments while softening any scar tissue.

Ultrasound is shown to be beneficial for a variety of conditions such as:

• Joint swelling
• Tendonitis
• Muscle spasm
• Pain in many regions
