Therapeutic Ultrasound

Service Description

How Therapeutic Ultrasound Helps Pets in Rehabilitation Deep tissue healing and pain relief for your pet’s recovery Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment commonly used in veterinary rehabilitation to support healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It uses sound waves to penetrate deep into muscles and soft tissues, helping pets recover from injuries, surgery, or chronic conditions. What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound? Unlike diagnostic ultrasound used for imaging, therapeutic ultrasound delivers high-frequency sound waves to targeted areas of the body. These sound waves cause microscopic vibrations in the tissues, which produce heat and increase blood flow. This helps accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and ease pain in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. How Does It Help? Therapeutic ultrasound offers several benefits: Reduces pain and muscle spasms by improving circulation and tissue relaxation Increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues Promotes soft tissue healing, making it ideal for tendon and ligament injuries Breaks down scar tissue, improving flexibility and range of motion Ultrasound can also deliver its benefits without producing heat (known as pulsed ultrasound), making it safe for use in acute injuries. What Conditions Can It Treat? Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used for: Muscle strains and sprains Tendon and ligament injuries Joint inflammation and arthritis Back or neck pain Post-surgical recovery It is often combined with other therapies like TENS, laser therapy, and physical exercises to enhance healing. What to Expect During a Session A handheld ultrasound device is gently moved over the treatment area using a gel to help transmit sound waves. Most sessions last 5–15 minutes and are completely painless. Pets typically find the treatment calming and comfortable. Safe, Effective, and Trusted Therapeutic ultrasound is supported by years of research in both human and veterinary medicine. It’s a safe, effective tool that helps reduce pain, increase mobility, and speed up recovery—helping your pet return to an active, comfortable life.
