When working with acute muscular injuries, ligaments, tendons and scars ultrasound is well known as an effective form of pain relief.
The benefits of using ultrasound can include:
- Micro massage - the speed of the sound waves are able to affect a micro-massage on tissue levels which would not respond to hand massage.
- Increased cellular activity
- Increased blood supply
- Stimulation of nerves and muscles
All of the above can help to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
