Ultrasound Therapy
Therapeutic Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound energy as a physical therapy modality. Selection of treatment parameters depends on the target tissue, stage of symptoms and rehabilitation goal.
What to know before choosing Ultrasound Therapy
The value of therapeutic ultrasound depends on the condition and how it is used. Physical examination and active rehabilitation remain central, while ultrasound may be selected as a supporting modality when there is a clear clinical rationale.
May be considered for
- Selected soft-tissue presentations where an adjunct is appropriate
- Some movement restrictions after assessment
- Use alongside manual therapy or exercise therapy when indicated
- Situations with a specific, measurable goal for ultrasound
Assessment first
- Pain location and the tissues likely to be involved
- Movement, strength and functional limitations
- Skin sensation and relevant precautions
- How ultrasound would support the broader rehabilitation plan
How it fits the plan
- Frequency, intensity and treatment time are selected for the goal
- Combined with mobility or strengthening when appropriate
- Symptoms and function are reassessed after treatment
- The modality is changed or discontinued if it does not add value
Precautions and information to tell your physiotherapist
- • Not used over the eyes or other specifically contraindicated areas
- • Altered sensation or circulation should be disclosed
- • Avoid over infection, open wounds or undiagnosed lesions as clinically appropriate
- • Pregnancy should be disclosed before treatment
