Phonophoresis is a therapeutic modality that our Delaware OH, Marion OH physical therapists use to relieve inflammation in affected muscles, tendons, ligaments, or arthritic joints. With this treatment, high-frequency sound waves are employed through ultrasound technology, as a way to administer medication or another healing chemical to the injured body part through the skin.

Many people ask, \u201cdoes phonophoresis hurt?\u201d – The answer is NO! When your treatment is being conducted, your physical therapist will gently move the ultrasound wand over the affected area. It is likely that you will feel nothing at all, but in some cases, you may feel a slight warming sensation as the treatment is being applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medications used in phonophoresis treatments are anti-inflammatories, aimed at relieving pain and reducing swelling. The sound waves from the ultrasound technology result in the medicine being transmitted through your skin for absorption, so it may reach the affected tissues underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
