Therapeutic ultrasound applies a deep, penetrating heat to soft tissues in order to increase blood flow to the area. Increased blood circulation promotes healing of the soft tissues which, eventually, reduces pain. Deep heat applied by ultrasound can also improve flexibility and range of motion in certain muscles. Ultrasound energy can cause rapid contraction of tissue, causing microscopic gas bubbles (cavitation) around the injured tissue, to aid in the healing process.
