Usually, orthopedic injuries are treated with ultrasound. These may include:
Bursitis
Tendonitis
Muscle strains and tears
Frozen shoulder
Sprains and ligament injuries
Joint contracture or tightness
Generally speaking, any soft-tissue injury in the body may be a candidate for ultrasound therapy. Your physical therapist may use ultrasound for low back pain, neck pain, rotator cuff tears, knee meniscus tears, or ankle sprains
