Ultrasound Therapy

Initial assessment

Jake, a 50-year-old mechanic, came to our clinic experiencing chronic shoulder pain and stiffness caused by repetitive strain and a past rotator cuff injury. His discomfort limited his range of motion, making it difficult for him to perform daily tasks at work.

After a thorough evaluation, we determined that ultrasound therapy would be an effective treatment option to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and promote healing.

Techniques and approaches

We designed a six-week ultrasound therapy program to address Jake’s shoulder pain and improve mobility. This treatment used high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the soft tissues, promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation. Sessions were scheduled twice a week and combined with light stretching and mobility exercises to maximize effectiveness.

• Applied therapeutic ultrasound to target deep muscle tissues and reduce inflammation
• Used continuous and pulsed ultrasound settings to enhance circulation and accelerate healing
• Combined therapy with gentle range-of-motion exercises to restore flexibility
• Conducted sessions twice a week for consistency and progressive improvement
• Monitored pain levels and adjusted treatment intensity as needed

Progress and outcomes

After the first few sessions, Jake reported a decrease in shoulder stiffness and improved mobility. By week four, he experienced a noticeable reduction in pain, allowing him to perform more tasks at work without discomfort. At the conclusion of the six-week program, his pain levels had decreased by 75%, and his range of motion was significantly restored. Follow-up evaluations confirmed reduced inflammation and improved shoulder function.
