What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound-wave energy delivered through a treatment applicator placed against the skin. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound, which is used to create images, therapeutic ultrasound is used as a treatment modality.
Your Chambers Medical Group provider determines whether ultrasound therapy is appropriate based on your injury, examination findings and stage of recovery.
