Ultrasound is often used to provide deep heating to soft tissue structures in the body. Deep heating tendons, muscles, or ligaments increases circulation to those tissues, which is thought to help the healing process. Increasing tissue temperature with ultrasound is also used to help decrease pain. Deep heating can be used to increase the "stretchiness" of muscles and tendons that may be tight.
Usually, orthopedic injuries are treated with ultrasound. These may include:
Bursitis
Muscle strains and tears
Sprains and ligament injuries
Joint contracture or tightness
