Therapeutic Ultrasound
At Sarasota Physical Therapy, we use Therapeutic Ultrasound to reduce pain, speed recovery, and promote natural healing at the cellular level.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to treat soft tissue injuries. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound, which creates images, this method gently penetrates tissues to:
Increase blood flow to the injured area
Reduce pain and inflammation
Stimulate cellular repair
Relax tight or strained muscles
It is commonly used for:
Sprains and strains
Tendonitis and bursitis
Scar tissue softening
Chronic muscle pain
Sports injuries
