The use of an ultrasound device can produce heat that can enter the tissues of the body at a deep level. This can potentially increase the circulation in your body while reducing your symptoms of pain. Heat therapy can also have the added benefit of enabling your muscles to stretch, helping to loosen tight muscles and tendons.*

Ultrasound therapy can produce results that are unrelated to the transfer of heat in the form of a process called cavitation. When one of our trained  Smithtown specialists perform an ultrasound massage, low-frequency sound waves can be sent below the superficial layers of the skin. These waves can create cavities between fat cells and eventually build up pressure until the fatty content is released. Results will vary by patient, but in order to maintain the results of a session, it is recommended to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet, otherwise, these cells that emptied their contents may refill once again.*
