Therapeutic ultrasound devices are non-invasive systems that use mechanical energy from longitudinal waves to penetrate deep through human soft tissues, resulting in local increases in blood flow and metabolism. These devices are primarily intended for treatment of muscle and connective tissue disorders, reduction of post-traumatic conditions such as oedema, and acceleration of the healing process.
