Therapeutic Ultrasound

Reduce pain and accelerate healing with therapeutic ultrasound at CDL Rehabilitation in Miami.

What Therapeutic Ultrasound Are

Therapeutic ultrasound is a treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate tissues, helping to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing.

Treatment Description

Therapeutic ultrasound works by applying sound waves to the targeted area, which create vibrations that increase blood flow, reduce swelling, and promote tissue regeneration. It is commonly used in rehabilitation and physical therapy.

What It Includes

The treatment involves applying a gel to the skin and using an ultrasound probe to deliver high-frequency sound waves to the affected area. Sessions typically last 5-15 minutes and may be done several times a week depending on the condition.

What Are Therapeutic Ultrasound Used For?

Therapeutic ultrasound is effective for treating muscle and joint pain, soft tissue injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, scar tissue, and inflammation caused by conditions like arthritis or sprains.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Speeds up healing by promoting blood flow and tissue regeneration in sprains, strains, and muscle tears.

Tendonitis

Reduces inflammation and promotes healing in tendons affected by overuse, such as in tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis.

Arthritis

Provides pain relief and improves mobility by reducing inflammation in affected joints, such as in osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Scar Tissue

Helps break down scar tissue adhesions, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness after surgery or injury.

Muscle Spasms

Relaxes muscles and reduces spasm intensity by delivering targeted ultrasound waves to affected areas.

Bursitis

Alleviates inflammation and pain in the bursa, commonly affecting the shoulder, hip, or knee.

Chronic Pain

Provides non-invasive pain relief in conditions like chronic back pain or fibromyalgia by stimulating circulation and reducing inflammation.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Delayed Tissue Healing

Without therapeutic ultrasound, soft tissue injuries may take longer to heal due to reduced cellular activity and blood flow.

Persistent Pain

Lack of therapy can result in ongoing or worsening pain, particularly in deep tissue or chronic conditions.

Increased Scar Tissue Formation

Untreated injuries may develop excessive scar tissue, reducing flexibility and potentially leading to complications.

Reduced Range of Motion

Without ultrasound therapy, stiffness in muscles and joints may persist, affecting mobility and daily activities.

Risk of Chronic Conditions

Prolonged inflammation and pain due to lack of treatment can contribute to long-term conditions, such as fibrotic tissue or recurring injuries.
