Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a therapeutic modality that uses sound waves to promote tissue healing and soft tissue repair. The treatment involves the application of a handheld device that emits ultrasonic waves to the skin over the affected area. These sound waves create thermal and non-thermal effects, depending on the frequency and intensity used.
Both IFT and ultrasound therapy are often used as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program tailored to each individual’s needs. They can be effective adjuncts to manual therapy, exercise programs, and other therapeutic modalities to enhance recovery and improve quality of life. It’s essential that these treatments be administered by qualified healthcare professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
