Conditions That May Benefit from Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is often used for musculoskeletal conditions that involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, or joints.
Some common conditions include:
- Muscle strain
- Ligament sprain
- Tendon inflammation such as Tendinitis / Bursitis
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Scar tissue after injury or surgery
- Chronic joint pain such as Osteoarthritis
- Trigger points in muscles
Safety Considerations for Ultrasound Therapy
Although ultrasound therapy is generally safe, it should not be used in certain situations to avoid complications.
Ultrasound therapy should be avoided:
- Over areas with Cancer
- Over a suspected blood clot such as Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Over the abdomen or lower back during pregnant
Important Reminder
While ultrasound therapy can be helpful, it is not a standalone treatment. The best results usually come from a combination of:
- Physiotherapy rehabilitation, manual therapy, posture correction and lifestyle modification
Your physiotherapist will always design a treatment plan based on your specific condition and recovery goals.
