No Extra Charge - Included in price for acupuncture or massage, if required Ultrasound is the best form of heat treatment for soft tissue injuries. It is used to treat joint and muscle strains, sprains, bursitis, and tendonitis.

Ultrasound treatment is used to:

• Relieve pain and inflammation
• Speed healing
• Reduce muscle spasms
• Soften & remodel scar tissue

Ultrasound makes high frequency sound waves. The sound waves vibrate tissues deep inside the injured area. This creates heat that draws more blood into the tissues. The tissues then respond to healing nutrients brought in by the blood and the repair process begins.
Treatment is given with a sound head that is moved gently in strokes or circles over the injured area, via the media of a conducting gel and the therapy takes just a few minutes. The sensation ranges from not feeling anything apart the cold gel to a gentle warming feeling.

Combination Therapy : - Ultrasound usually takes no longer than 5 minutes & is usually combined with massage to treat musculoskeletal & sports injuries.
