ultrasound in physical therapy

Ultrasound in physical therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate tissues beneath the skin. When applied with a gel and a handheld device, these sound waves generate gentle deep heat, increasing blood flow and promoting healing. They can help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and improve flexibility in muscles and joints. This non-invasive treatment is often used for injuries like sprains, strains, or chronic conditions, supporting the body's natural healing process by enhancing tissue repair and reducing discomfort.
