The best way to describe ultrasound therapy is by simply thinking of ultrasounds given to pregnant women, as the technology is largely the same. Small, handheld probes are placed on the problem area combined with gel or cream, which may be medicated depending on the condition in question. The probe vibrates, sending waves through the skin and into the body. These waves cause the underlying tissue to vibrate, which can have a variety of benefits which we will look at below. In general, ultrasound therapy sessions will last no longer than 5 minutes. This simply involves applying the gel or cream, and then rubbing the probe around the affected area.
