What is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment modality used to promote healing and alleviate pain through the application of sound waves. At Annapurna Physiotherapy, we utilize this technique to enhance tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.

How Does It Work?

Ultrasound therapy involves the use of high-frequency sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues. These sound waves produce a thermal effect, increasing blood flow and facilitating the repair of damaged tissues. The therapy also promotes the breakdown of scar tissue and reduces muscle spasms, leading to enhanced range of motion and overall recovery.

Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy

• Pain Relief: Provides effective relief from chronic pain and muscle soreness.
• Accelerated Healing: Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration, speeding up the recovery process.
• Reduced Inflammation: Helps decrease inflammation in affected areas.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances joint and muscle flexibility, aiding in rehabilitation.
• Scar Tissue Reduction: Assists in breaking down scar tissue and improving tissue elasticity.

What to Expect

During an ultrasound therapy session, a gel is applied to the treatment area to facilitate the transmission of sound waves. A handheld device, known as a transducer, is then gently moved over the skin. The treatment is typically painless and well-tolerated, with sessions lasting around 5-15 minutes depending on the condition being treated.

Who Can Benefit?

Ultrasound therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Tendonitis
• Muscle strains and sprains
• Bursitis
• Joint pain
• Post-surgical rehabilitation
