Therapeutic ultrasound is a proven technique used in physical therapy to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve tissue function. At Bertolozzi Physical Therapy, we utilize advanced ultrasound technology to deliver effective treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Therapeutic ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, generating heat and promoting cellular activity. This non-invasive treatment helps to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing process.
During a therapeutic ultrasound session, a gel is applied to the skin over the treatment area to ensure efficient transmission of sound waves. A handheld device called a transducer is then moved over the skin in circular motions, delivering sound waves deep into the tissues. These sound waves create gentle vibrations and heat, which promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Therapeutic ultrasound offers numerous benefits, including:

During your session, our therapists will assess your condition and determine the appropriate settings for the ultrasound treatment. The session typically lasts between 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the size and nature of the area being treated. You will feel a gentle warming sensation as the sound waves penetrate your tissues, but the treatment is generally painless.
