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)
Can Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy relieve joint and muscle pain?
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.
What is therapeutic ultrasound therapy?
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.
What conditions can ultrasound therapy help with?
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.
How does ultrasound therapy work?
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.
Is therapeutic ultrasound safe, and does it hurt?
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.
How many ultrasound treatments will I need?
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.
