Therapeutic ultrasound is a rehabilitation technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain in soft tissues and joints. It is commonly used for treating musculoskeletal injuries such as tendonitis, sprains, and strains, as well as for improving circulation and tissue repair.

During the procedure, a gel is applied to the affected area, and a handheld ultrasound device emits sound waves that penetrate deep into the tissues. These sound waves create a heating effect that helps to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and promote the healing of damaged tissues. Therapeutic ultrasound is also used to break down scar tissue and adhesions that may impede movement.

This technique is effective in reducing pain and inflammation, enhancing tissue repair, and accelerating recovery after injury or surgery.
