Book an Appointment

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to deliver deep heat to tissues. This can help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote healing in muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues.

Conditions We Treat

Ultrasound Therapy is a non-invasive treatment technique used to promote healing, reduce pain, and enhance tissue recovery. At Heartland Rehab, we use Ultrasound Therapy to treat:

Tendon injuries, such as tendonitis or tendinopathy.
Bursitis and joint inflammation.
Acute and chronic sprains or strains.
Muscle spasms and tightness.
Post-operative recovery to support tissue healing.
Scar tissue formation, improving elasticity and mobility.
Soft tissue injuries with delayed healing or persistent inflammation.

What to Expect

Initial Assessment

A thorough evaluation of your condition to determine the suitability of Ultrasound Therapy for your treatment plan.

Application of Ultrasound Gel

A conductive gel is applied to the skin over the targeted area to ensure effective transmission of sound waves.

Ultrasound Probe Treatment

A small handheld device, called an ultrasound probe, is moved gently over the area.
The probe emits high-frequency sound waves that penetrate the skin and underlying tissues.

Therapeutic Effects

The sound waves produce a deep heating effect, increasing blood flow and promoting tissue repair.
Ultrasound waves help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue elasticity.

Painless and Short Sessions

Sessions typically last 5 to 10 minutes, are painless, and are well-tolerated by most patients.

Complementary Therapy

Ultrasound Therapy is often combined with other treatments such as manual therapy, exercise therapy, or stretching to maximize recovery.
