Ultrasound physical therapy is a branch of ultrasound, alongside diagnostic ultrasound and pregnancy imaging. It’s used to detect and treat various musculoskeletal issues you may have including pain, tissue injury, and muscle spasms.

Ultrasound is exciting because it uses high-frequency sound waves to relieve pain. These sound waves produce heat that can penetrate deep into the painful tissue. Ultrasound therapy can provide an alternative, from addictive pain medication, to pain management.
