Ultrasound Therapy

• Ultrasound uses a high frequency sound wave emitted from the sound head when electricity is passed through a quartz crystal.
• The sound waves cause the vibration of water molecules deep within tissue causing a heating effect.
• When the sound waves are pulsed, they cause a vibration of the tissue rather than heating.
• The stream of sound waves helps with nutrition exchange at the cellular level and healing.
• Studies have shown that ultrasound is helpful for ligament healing and clinically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscle spasm.
