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.

Maggie A
Dr. Genrich took the time to explain why I was experiencing my symptoms and also showed me stretches to do on my own to help the treatment along and to prevent injuries in the future. She was very personable, pleasant, positive and professional.
Lisa K
Kristin got me from being bed-ridden for over a month to working a physical job, all within just a couple of months. She’ll tell you how to stretch to keep everything aligned properly in the long run. Can’t thank you enough!
Daniel W
Dr. Kirsten truly saved me! I was in so much pain and didn’t know what to do. I came into the clinic nervous and in pain but left a new woman! I recommend her to anyone I meet and is having similar issues.
