How Ultrasound Therapy Works

Ultrasound therapy uses safe, high-frequency sound waves to target deep tissues such as muscles, tendons, and joints. This advanced treatment works by:

  • Delivering gentle vibrations that create a therapeutic micro-massage at the cellular level

  • Activating natural repair processes to speed up tissue regeneration

  • Improving cell permeability for better nutrient absorption and waste removal

  • Boosting circulation to increase oxygen and blood flow to injured areas

  • Reducing inflammation and pain for faster recovery and restored mobility

Because it’s non-invasive, drug-free, and safe for all ages, ultrasound therapy is an excellent option for patients seeking natural healing and long-term relief.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

Yes. Our Ultrasound Therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to reduce inflammation, stiffness, and swelling in muscles and joints. It’s completely drug-free and comfortable.

Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves (not radiation) to gently penetrate muscles, tendons, and joints. The sound waves create a deep warming effect and improve blood flow, which helps reduce pain, relax tight muscles, and speed healing.

In our Akron office, therapeutic ultrasound is often used for:

  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Tendonitis and bursitis
  • Arthritis-related pain
  • Scar tissue and adhesions
  • Sports injuries

It may also be used to support recovery after surgery or chronic injuries.

The ultrasound machine sends high-frequency sound waves into the affected area. These waves increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and help break down scar tissue. The result is improved mobility and faster healing at the cellular level.

Yes. Ultrasound therapy is very safe when performed by trained professionals. Most patients only feel a gentle warming or mild tingling in the treated area. It should not be painful, and treatments are usually relaxing.

The number of sessions depends on your condition. Some patients notice improvement after just a few treatments, while others with chronic problems may need a series of visits. We’ll design a personalized plan at our Akron clinic to meet your specific needs.
