Pet Therapeutic Ultrasound

What Is Pet Therapeutic Ultrasound?

Therapeutic ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pain, improve flexibility, and accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and surgeries. It works by delivering sound waves deep into tissues, stimulating healing, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility. This gentle therapy does not require anesthesia, making it an excellent option for pets with arthritis, muscle strains, ligament injuries, and other mobility challenges.

Benefits of Pet Therapeutic Ultrasound at Chi West Veterinary Rehabilitation and Integrative Health

At Chi West Veterinary Rehabilitation and Integrative Health, our team uses therapeutic ultrasound to address a range of health issues for pets, offering a safe alternative to more invasive treatments. Pet therapeutic ultrasound provides:

• Pain Relief: Ultrasound therapy helps reduce inflammation, offering pets relief from chronic pain conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle contractures.
• Improved Circulation: By stimulating blood flow, ultrasound therapy aids in delivering nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, accelerating the body’s natural healing process.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Pets experiencing stiffness or restricted movement may benefit from the therapy’s gentle tissue-warming effects, which can improve flexibility and mobility.
• Muscle Spasm & Scar Tissue Reduction: Therapeutic ultrasound helps break down scar tissue and reduce muscle spasms, allowing pets to move more comfortably with less stiffness and tension.
