Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatment Option
Therapeutic Ultrasound in Bundoora and Richmond: A Non-Invasive Solution to help with Pain Relief and Recovery
At Uprise Health, we’re committed to offering the most effective, evidence-based treatments to support your recovery. One of the most trusted modalities we use in our Bundoora and Richmond clinics is therapeutic ultrasound—a safe, non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain, speed up healing, and improve tissue mobility.
What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues. It’s commonly used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain conditions.
At our chiropractic clinic, we use ultrasound therapy to:
- Stimulate blood flow
- Reduce muscle spasms and inflammation
- Accelerate the repair of injured tissues
- Improve joint and soft tissue mobility
It’s especially effective when combined with manual therapy, chiropractic care, remedial massage and rehabilitation exercises.
How Does Ultrasound Therapy Work?
Ultrasound therapy provides both thermal and mechanical effects:
- Thermal effects: The sound waves gently heat the soft tissues, increasing circulation and flexibility, and easing muscle tension.
- Mechanical effects: The vibrations at a cellular level help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue.
These effects make therapeutic ultrasound a powerful adjunct to chiropractic treatment and remedial massage.
Who Can Benefit from Therapeutic Ultrasound?
This treatment is ideal for a variety of patients with the following conditions:
- Sports injuries (e.g., muscle strains, ligament sprains)
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Frozen shoulder or joint stiffness
- Arthritis-related pain
- Post-surgical recovery
- Scar tissue and adhesions
- Chronic back or neck pain
Key Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy
Here’s why so many patients at Uprise Health choose ultrasound as part of their care:

- Provides natural pain relief without medication
- Reduces swelling and inflammation
- Enhances mobility and flexibility
- Helps break down scar tissue and reduce adhesion

What to Expect During Treatment
Each ultrasound therapy session lasts approximately 5–10 minutes. A small hand-held device is applied to the affected area with conductive gel. The process is usually painless—many patients find it relaxing.
It’s often used in conjunction with other treatments at Uprise Health, such as chiropractic adjustments, remedial massage, dry needling, or sports rehabilitation.
