High Intensity Ultrasound Therapy (HIUS)
Targeted relief for chronic pain and tissue healing
High Intensity Ultrasound Therapy (HIUS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. The therapy directs ultrasound energy deep into muscles, tendons, and ligaments, promoting circulation and tissue repair without injections or surgery. HIUS is commonly used for chronic tendon injuries, joint pain, sports injuries, and degenerative musculoskeletal conditions. Patients experience faster recovery, less discomfort, and improved mobility.
What Is High Intensity Ultrasound Therapy?
High Intensity Ultrasound Therapy works by delivering concentrated ultrasound energy into targeted tissues. The sound waves generate heat and mechanical stimulation that:
-
Increases blood flow and oxygen supply
-
Reduces inflammation and swelling
-
Stimulates natural healing and collagen production
-
Relieves muscle and joint pain
This makes HIUS especially effective for conditions like:
Shoulder tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Knee osteoarthritis and meniscus pain
Chronic hip or back muscle strain
