Ultrasound therapy works by emitting high-frequency sound waves through a transducer, which is applied to the skin with a coupling gel. The sound waves penetrate the tissue, creating a deep heating effect or mechanical effects that can enhance cellular processes and promote healing. The therapy can be administered in two primary modes: continuous and pulsed. Continuous ultrasound delivers constant sound waves, while pulsed ultrasound provides intermittent waves, reducing the thermal effects.
