Ultrasound

Ultrasound refers to acoustic vibrations above those frequencies, which are not heard by the human ear, that penetrate to the deeper layers of tissue. Ultrasound therapy produces local heat, micro massage, breaks down scar tissue, reduces edema, disrupts tissue deposits and produces a mild analgesic effect. General indications for ultrasound treatment include bursitis, trigger points, scars, strains, tendonitis and osteoarthritis.
