Ultrasound
Therapy
Ultrasound, better known as therapeutic ultrasound, is an
essential component of our physical medicine and
rehabilitation services at Desert Physical Medicine and Pain Management. This non-invasive treatment uses high-frequency sound waves
transferred through the skin into muscles, ligaments, and
joints to increase tissue temperature and blood flow.
The absorbed frequencies produce molecular motion, causing friction between particles that raises tissue
temperature and softens scar tissue. Combined with massage and joint motion, ultrasound therapy improves
kinetic function and flexibility while enhancing cell and tissue membrane permeability.
Our Approach
At Desert Physical Medicine and Pain Management, we integrate therapeutic ultrasound into a comprehensive rehabilitation plan fiat includes:
Targeted Tissue Heating:
Ultrasound’s high frequency waves raise tissue temperature,
aiding in the breakdown of scar tissue.
Enhanced Blood Flow and Healing:
Increased blood circulation promotes faster healing and
reduces inflammation.
Integrated Therapy:
When combined with muscle and joint massage and mobilization
techniques, ultrasound therapy significantly improves joint
mobility and overall function.
