Ultrasound Therapy
Osteopaths can do further training to gain skills in ultrasound therapy and acupuncture dry needling. Here at Kingston & Teddington Osteopathy, we are keen advocates of these techniques to help with acute and chronic pain conditions.
Ultrasound uses sound waves through soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia) to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation. It is especially useful for treating joint sprains and muscles tears. It speeds up healing and in conjunction with osteopathic massage and manipulation is an effective way of beginning the healing process.
