Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a therapeutic modality that uses high-frequency sound waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions and promote tissue healing. It is commonly used in physical therapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation settings to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue mobility.
During ultrasound therapy, a transducer device is applied to the skin over the affected area. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves, usually in the range of 0.8 to 3.0 megahertz (MHz), which penetrate the skin and underlying tissues. These sound waves produce mechanical vibrations at the cellular level, generating heat and causing microscopic tissue movement.
There are two main types of ultrasound therapy:
Thermal ultrasound
This type of ultrasound therapy uses continuous waves to produce a gentle heating effect in the tissues. The heat generated by the ultrasound waves can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and reduce pain and stiffness. Thermal ultrasound is often used to treat chronic conditions such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and scar tissue.
Non-thermal ultrasound (pulsed ultrasound)
This type of ultrasound therapy uses continuous waves to produce a gentle heating effect in the tissues. The heat generated by the ultrasound waves can help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and reduce pain and stiffness. Thermal ultrasound is often used to treat chronic conditions such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and scar tissue.
Ultrasound therapy is typically administered by a trained healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist or sports medicine physician. The treatment duration and intensity may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s response to therapy. A conductive gel is usually applied to the skin before the ultrasound treatment to improve the transmission of sound waves and minimize discomfort.
While ultrasound therapy is generally considered safe when used appropriately, it may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications for ultrasound therapy include certain types of cancer, infections, open wounds, and areas with impaired circulation. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if ultrasound therapy is appropriate for your specific condition and medical history.

Dr. Kirstin has been amazing. She listens to you and includes you in all the decisions!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs care. I am finally getting relief for hip pain I have had for years.
Melissa B
Dr. Kirstin is amazing! She does a full assessment of your alignment and creates a plan that focuses on your area of trouble. She is attentive and takes her time to listen and understand your issues. I also loved how she offered insight on the different parts of the spine and how that affects various regions of your body. I came in with upper back pain and after a few visits, that nagging pain went away. I definitely recommend Dr. Kirstin!
