Ultrasound for Physiotherapy? That's right! It is more than a tool for imaging. High-frequency sound waves have a therapeutic effect through microvibrations that generate heat, increasing blood flow, oxygen, and chemicals essential to healing. It can also help new tissue fibres align properly, rather than becoming unorganized and tight/weak. Some common injuries ultrasound is used for include sprains, strains, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, mastitis, bursitis and scar tissue adhesions. Your physiotherapist will determine whether this is a helpful component of your treatment plan!
