low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS)

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a therapeutic technique that uses sound waves at low power to promote healing in tissues, particularly bones and soft tissues. It involves sending short bursts of ultrasound waves to the targeted area, which can stimulate cellular activity, enhance blood flow, and accelerate the healing process. LIPUS is often used in rehabilitation settings for recovery from injuries, fractures, or surgeries. It is a non-invasive treatment, meaning it does not require surgery or injections, making it a safe option for many patients seeking to improve their healing outcomes.
