Physical therapy ultrasound systems generate sound waves to stimulate healing and relieve pain in soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and joints. Clinically, they’re used for managing chronic pain, accelerating recovery from injuries (such as sprains or ulcers), and reducing inflammation by promoting tissue repair through thermal and mechanical effects.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards before market entry. They’re commonly supplied as standalone systems, including a generator, cable, and applicator, and may vary in power settings and frequency ranges to suit different therapeutic needs.
