Q:  My athletic trainer used an ultrasound treatment on me. What is ultrasound? How does it work?
A:  Ultrasound is a therapeutic modality used by health care professionals. Ultrasound uses sound waves for a number of physiologic changes to the affected area. Ultrasound can be done two ways: pulsed or continuous. Pulsed Ultrasound is used to break up swelling that has occurred in an area. Continuous ultrasound can be used to heat an area of the body, to increase flexibility and decrease stiffness at a specific joint in the body, and to increase blood flow to an area.
