There are two types of ultrasound therapy: therapeutic and diagnostic. Therapeutic ultrasound is used to treat medical conditions. Diagnostic ultrasound is used to take images of the body, such as the fetus during pregnancy. In our practice, we are specifically using Ultrasound technology for therapeutic purposes and to help treat conditions.
Ultrasound therapy is usually given as a series of treatments. Each treatment session lasts between 5 and 30 minutes. The number of treatments you need will depend on your condition. Ultrasound therapy is a very safe therapy method. There can sometimes abe a few side effects, but they are usually mild, such as skin irritation or temporary discomfort.
Your therapist will select a small surface area to work on for anywhere from five to 10 minutes. A gel is applied either to the transducer head or to your skin, which helps the sound waves evenly penetrate the skin. During your ultrasound therapy treatment, your therapist will continually move the transducer head over and around the selected area. This is a non-painful treatment, so you’ll be completely comfortable the entire time.
Other than the coolness of the gel pad and sound head, you should not feel anything during an ultrasound treatment.
