When people hear the word ultrasound, they generally think of it as a tool to see what’s going on inside the body.
However, ultrasound therapy has also proven effective in the treatment of various medical conditions such as arthritis. It is a non-invasive option that uses sound waves to relieve pain and inflammation, healing musculoskeletal problems by increasing blood flow.
Here’s how ultrasound therapy helps with the debilitating symptoms of arthritis:
Ultrasound therapy is known to help reduce the swelling of the joints caused by arthritis and is used to treat any type of joint pain.
Long-term arthritis may lead to the deterioration and damage of the cartilage. Therapeutic ultrasound stimulates oxygen to enter the tissues of the affected joints, which promotes faster healing of the cartilage.
Therapeutic ultrasound relieves the tenderness and stiffness caused by arthritis. These symptoms can greatly affect your range of motion when not properly treated.
If you suffer from arthritis, you know how debilitating the pain can be. Fortunately, therapeutic ultrasound is a modern intervention for treating joint problems and other medical conditions safely and effectively.
