Ultrasound Therapy - Ultrasound Treatments - Physical Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses high-energy sound waves (those above the range we hear) to help ease painful joints and muscles. Ultrasound treatment is done by a physical therapist or occupational therapist who guides the waves into the body from the head of a ultrasound machine. Results of using this method for arthritis pain relief will vary.

Physical Therapy: TENS, Ultrasound, Heat and Cryotherapy
Modalities should always be considered an adjunct to an active treatment program in the management of acute low back pain. They should never be used as the sole method of treatment, from Spine Universe.

Ultrasound Therapy (The History of Ultrasound)
The use of ultrasound in physical therapy dates back to the 1940s. The use of ultrasound therapy has gained progressive popularity in departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation throughout the United States and Europe, from Dr. Joseph S.K. Woo.

Your First Visit to Physical Therapy: Treating Arthritis of the Ankle
An ultrasound machine produces high frequency sound waves that are directed toward the sore area. Passing through the body's tissues, these waves vibrate molecules. This causes friction and warmth as the sound passes through the tissue, from AllAboutmyDoc.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Has Potential
An ongoing debate about transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has brought the degree to which TENS is more effective than placebo in reducing pain into question. TENS is one of the most commonly used forms of electroanalgesia. (the treatment of back pain, visceral pain, and various types of arthritis pain via electrical stimulation), from CreakyJoints.
