What is Ultrasound Therapy?

"Therapeutic Ultrasound" is deep tissue heating modality reaching underlying tissues as deep as one to five centimeters through high frequency sound waves. Treatment is administered directly which penetrates the tissues, increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, repairs damaged tissue, and dramatically speeds the healing process. It creates permanent, physical changes and repairs both hard and soft tissues problems.
