About This Service

Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate soft tissue, producing both thermal and non-thermal effects. The thermal effect heats deep tissues to improve extensibility and circulation, while the non-thermal (cavitation) effect accelerates tissue healing at a cellular level.

Ultrasound is particularly effective for treating deep soft tissue injuries such as muscle strains, tendinopathies, bursitis, and scar tissue. The treatment is non-invasive and painless — patients typically feel a gentle warmth during application.

Our therapists use diagnostic protocols to determine the appropriate frequency, intensity, and duration for your specific condition, maximizing therapeutic benefit.
