Ultrasound therapy is a treatment modality that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate the tissues of the body. The process involves a handheld device that emits these sound waves, which create vibrations in the tissues. This can be applied to various areas of the body and is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques. Ultrasound therapy can be utilized for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, commonly in settings like physical therapy and chiropractic care. The application typically lasts for a few minutes, during which the sound waves help to target specific areas of concern, making it a versatile tool in the management of musculoskeletal issues.
