Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to produce a deep heat that can reduce pain to the affected tissues. The therapy is known to help stimulate healing without irritation. It can also speed metabolism, improve circulation, break or soften scar tissue, reduce chronic inflammation and swelling, reduce nerve root irritation, and also enhance the body's natural healing process.

It may be used to treat conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and tendonitis.
