Understanding Ultrasound Treatment

Ultrasound treatment employs high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and alleviate pain. This non-invasive therapy works by penetrating deep into tissues, which enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair.

At Stratton Rehabilitation, our skilled physical therapists utilize ultrasound therapy for various conditions, including arthritis, muscle strains, and chronic pain. This method is particularly effective for soft tissue injuries and joint pain, providing a safe and comfortable treatment option.

Therapeutic ultrasound is different from diagnostic ultrasound, which is commonly used for imaging. In therapeutic ultrasound, sound waves generate heat and mechanical energy that aid in the healing process.

Conditions Treated with Ultrasound

Ultrasound therapy is versatile and can address a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Arthritis and Joint Pain: Helps reduce inflammation and improves joint mobility.
  • Muscle Strains and Sports Injuries: Accelerates the healing of muscle fibers and reduces pain.
  • Back Pain and Neck Pain: Eases muscle tension and enhances tissue repair.
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Promotes faster recovery and reduces scar tissue formation.
  • Chronic Headaches and Neurological Disorders: Alleviates symptoms associated with chronic pain and neurological issues.

Our comprehensive treatment plans focus on your specific needs, ensuring effective recovery and pain relief.

Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy offers numerous benefits that can significantly enhance your rehabilitation process:

  • Accelerated Healing and Tissue Repair: Stimulates cell activity and promotes faster healing of tissues.
  • Pain and Inflammation Reduction: Decreases pain and swelling, providing relief from chronic and acute conditions.
  • Improved Blood Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the affected areas, which aids in nutrient delivery and waste removal.
  • Enhanced Flexibility and Range of Motion: Increases tissue elasticity, making it easier to move and stretch affected areas.
  • Non-Invasive and Painless Treatment: Offers a safe alternative to more invasive procedures, with minimal discomfort during treatment.
