Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality commonly used in physiotherapy to promote healing and relieve pain.
It involves the use of high-frequency sound waves generated by a handheld device, which are transmitted deep into the tissues of the body. These sound waves produce thermal and mechanical effects that stimulate cellular activity, increase blood flow, and promote tissue repair.
Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat various conditions, including soft tissue injuries, tendonitis, and arthritis. It is typically applied to the skin using a gel to ensure proper transmission of the sound waves.
Ultrasound therapy is safe, painless, and well-tolerated by most patients. At Human Care Physio, we offer ultrasound therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, helping our patients achieve optimal recovery and improved quality of life.
