Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to treat a variety of conditions. It can be used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in muscles and joints. Ultrasound therapy can also be used to improve circulation, reduce muscle spasms, and promote healing of soft tissue injuries. In addition, it can be used to help remove scar tissue and adhesions that can cause chronic pain.

Ultrasound therapy is an effective way to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. It uses sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissue, stimulating healing and reducing inflammation. By using this type of therapy, you can reduce pain and improve mobility in your joints, muscles, and tendons.

Types of ultrasound therapy at RVA Physical Therapy:

  • Mechanical Ultrasound therapy
  • Thermal Ultrasound therapy

Ultrasound technology has become an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Ultrasound is also used to assess the healing process after surgery or injury. With its ability to provide detailed images of soft tissue structures in real time, ultrasound has revolutionised the way musculoskeletal conditions are diagnosed and treated.

Orthopedic therapy and Therapeutic exercises

The approach includes manual orthopedics, movement training and therapeutic exercises performed exclusively with your therapist. The goal of the clinic is to teach you how to move effectively and without pain, and teach you how to stay healthy.

Patients in the care of a physical therapist learn contraction and relaxation exercises to increase mobility. The goal is to return the patient to their pre-injury movements and movements. Most patients can do exercise at home between visits and after discharge.

Types of orthopedic therapy:

  • Hand Therapy
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Knee Pain and others

Orthopedic physical therapy focuses on improving the function of the entire musculoskeletal system, namely bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and connective tissue. Any condition that causes pain or limited mobility due to damage to bone or soft tissue structures, such as injuries from falls, sports, or repetitive use of joints, can benefit from orthopedic physical therapy.
