What is Ultrasound?

It is a therapeutic treatment using high-frequency sounds waves administered in the region of soft tissue injuries.  These sound vibrations are as fast as a million times per second, penetrate the tissues deep in the body, creating a heat response.  The vibrations and heat help break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.  The gel used to conduct the sound waves is at room temperature and may momentarily feel cool to the skin when it is initially applied.  As a result, most patients feel nothing, or a pleasant and relaxing sensation below the surface of the skin.  Ultrasound treatment can usually be administered directly to the area of complaint, penetrating deep into the body.  The rise in temperature increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, massages damaged tissues, and speeds healing.
