Ultrasound Therapy
Non-invasive sound-wave therapy that speeds tissue healing and reduces pain.
Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment that sends high-frequency sound waves deep into tissue to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and speed healing — easing pain and improving mobility.

Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment used in physical therapy to promote tissue healing, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep into the tissues, creating a gentle heat effect that stimulates cellular activity, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation.
Key benefits
- Pain relief through reduced inflammation
- Enhanced soft-tissue healing
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Scar-tissue and adhesion breakdown
How ultrasound therapy works
- A licensed therapist applies the device with a conductive gel
- Sound waves penetrate the skin to reach deeper tissue
- Frequency, intensity, and duration are tuned to your goals
- Sessions typically last about 5–15 minutes
Conditions treated
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Bursitis and tendonitis
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Soft-tissue injuries and post-surgical scars
- Plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
Safety & comfort
Ultrasound therapy is generally safe and painless — most patients feel only a mild warming sensation. It isn't suitable over areas such as deep-vein thrombosis, the abdomen during pregnancy, or implanted electronic devices. Our provider assesses suitability for each individual.
