Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to treat pain and promote healing. These sound vibrations go deep into tissues, improving blood circulation, reducing swelling, and relaxing tight muscles to speed up recovery.

What is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound Therapy is a safe treatment used by physiotherapists to reduce pain and help our body heal faster.
It uses sound waves (just like the ones we hear, but much stronger and faster) to go deep inside muscles and tissues.

These sound waves help in:

  • Reducing pain
  • Healing injuries quickly
  • Improving blood flow
  • Making stiff muscles relaxed and smooth

So, it’s like giving a gentle massage inside your body where hands cannot reach.

How Does Ultrasound Therapy Work?

A small device called an ultrasound head is moved gently on the skin with a special gel.

Inside this device, fast sound waves are created that:

  • Go deep into tissues
  • Create warmth inside muscles
  • Increase blood circulation
  • Reduce swelling and stiffness

This helps the body repair itself naturally.

What are the Types of Ultrasound Therapy?

There are mainly two types of ultrasound therapy:

1. Thermal Ultrasound Therapy

  • Produces heat deep inside the muscles
  • Improves blood flow
  • Relaxes tight or painful muscles

Used for:

  • Chronic pain (long-time pain)
  • Muscle stiffness
  • Joint pain like shoulder or knee pain

 

2.  Mechanical (Non-Thermal) Ultrasound Therapy

  • Creates tiny vibrations inside the tissue
  • Helps reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Speeds up healing of new injuries

Used for:

  • Sports injuries
  • Fresh sprains and strains
  • Wounds and swelling after accidents

How is Ultrasound Therapy Performed?

The physiotherapist follows a simple process:

  1. Gel is applied on the painful area
  2. The device head is moved slowly on the skin
  3. The sound waves work inside the tissues
  4. Treatment time is usually 5–10 minutes
  5. It is painless and very safe

You may feel slight warmth and relaxation but no shock or discomfort.

For Which Conditions is Ultrasound Therapy Used?

Ultrasound therapy is helpful in many problems like:

  • Neck pain & back pain
  • Shoulder pain (Frozen shoulder)
  • Knee and joint pain
  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Sciatica pain
  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Tennis elbow
  • After-surgery swelling and stiffness
  • Sports injuries

It helps the body recover faster and reduces the need for strong pain medicines.

Is Ultrasound Therapy Safe?

  • Non-invasive (no injections, no cuts)
  • Painless
  • Safe for regular use
  • Suitable for children, adults, and senior citizens

Our physiotherapist will always check your condition before starting therapy to ensure complete safety.
