Ultrasound Therapy

• Ultrasound is a specialized method of
  physiotherapy that uses mechanical energy to
  promote the healing process. It can be used as a
  way to manage or relieve pain, treat injuries,
  and improve your ability to perform daily
  activities. If you are suffering from pain or a
  recent injury, ultrasound treatments may benefit
  you. Contact FeelGood Physio and Fitness today to
  find out more about our ultrasound services and
  how they can aid you in your recovery process.

What does ultrasound treat?

• Ultrasound treatments are vague, in the sense
  that they can treat a vast variety of conditions.
  It is not limited to one specific ailment or
  region of pain. Some common conditions that
  ultrasound helps treat include, but are not
  limited to
• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Tendinitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Muscle spasms
• Fractures
• Sprains, strains, and tears

How does ultrasound work?

• The technology behind ultrasound treatments
  involves the use of sound waves. These sound
  waves are used to treat conditions affecting the
  muscles, ligaments, and bones by creating
  vibrations that generate heat. When the tissues
  vibrate, friction is produced at the molecular
  level, which causes the temperature of the
  tissues to increase. While heating packs can be
  effective in warming up an affected area, they
  are unable to reach the tissues in the same way
  that ultrasound technology can.
• When an ultrasound treatment is being conducted,
  our Physiotherapists will generously put gel on
  the surface of the ultrasound applicator, in
  order to minimize friction and promote the
  transmission of the sound waves.

Benefits 

• Thermal benefits
• Heat enters your deep tissues during an
  ultrasound treatment. Heat helps to reduce pain,
  increase blood circulation, and allow for an
  easier stretch of the muscles. The thermal energy
  produced during your ultrasound treatment can
  also loosen up tight muscles and tendons.
• Non-thermal benefits
• Ultrasound technology can work in beneficial ways
  that are unrelated to its transfer of heat.
  Energy that enters the body during an ultrasound
  treatment creates tiny gas bubbles that gather
  around the tissues. These bubbles then expand and
  contract at a rapid pace, which is a process
  known as cavitation.
