Yes,Therapeutic ultrasound has been used in therapy since the 1950’s. It can be used to treat bursitis, tendonitis, chronic inflammation, muscles spasm and reduction of local swelling. Through increased blood flow to affected tissues this can help accelerate the healing process. This is a painless therapy.

Ultrasound therapy is a painless therapy. However, if the heat is left on the affected area for too long, it can cause discomfort.

Mild heating may be felt on the skin

Yes. Scar tissue can be broken up by the use of therapeutic ultrasound.

Yes, scar tissue can be broken up by vibrations through the use of therapeutic ultrasound.

Usually after 3 to 6 treatments some signs of improvement should be visible from therapy.

There isn’t much research on this. No more than 10 minutes a day as a general guide should be fine in most cases.

Yes. It is a safe treatment when used by a qualified practitioner.

There is not good evidence to show that this can be the case.

Usually somewhere between $70 to $120.

There is no evidence to prove that this is true.

If the ultrasound is left on a specific area for too long it can potentially heat up the skin too much, leaving the affected area at risk of burn.

No. Ultrasound is high frequency low energy soundwave which cause the cells of targeted tissues to vibrate and stimulate repair. As a byproduct heat energy is also created which improves circulation. Shockwave or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) applies high frequency, high energy pulses which are used to break up harder structures such as heel spurs.

No, research would appear to show that it may actually help brain damage.

It may be used to help with associated symptoms of arthritis including reducing inflammation and pain.

No, anywhere there is joint cement in a prosthesis it is ill advised as vibrations can disrupt the integrity of these prosthetic joints.

When used by a qualified practitioner, no.

If used by a qualified practitioner then yes.

No, as there is a risk of spreading the cancer.
