I had ultrasound for several weeks when I pulled my adductor tendons in my left leg (from a fall). It was soooooo painful...and I couldn't move my leg at all. I also had IFc with it, both on the same day, and within 2 treatments my pain receded an amazing amount.
My PT mixed Biofreeze with the lubricant 1:1, and turned up the volume which never hurt at all.
I think ultrasound is very good for tissue damage...inflammation as Glenn suggests.
I was very pleased at the pain relief I experienced with my PT treatments!
