How it works
Inside a therapeutic ultrasounds session.
Apply conducting gel
A skin-safe gel lets the sound waves transmit smoothly from the wand into the tissue.
Move the wand
The wand is moved in slow, small circles across the treatment area, never held stationary.
Deliver deep vibration & warming
Sound waves cause microscopic vibration and gentle warming several centimeters below the surface.
Reassess
We check range of motion and tenderness before layering in adjusting, stretching, or another modality.

Will my PPO cover therapeutic ultrasounds if I live in Rancho Santa Margarita?

What should I wear to therapeutic ultrasounds if I am driving from Rancho Santa Margarita?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from Central Park district, give yourself a few extra minutes on Santa Margarita Pkwy off I-5 / CA-241 toll road at rush hour.
Is Therapeutic Ultrasounds the right next step if I live in Rancho Santa Margarita?
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves, not visible light or heat, to reach into deep soft tissue where surface modalities can’t. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
Is this the same as diagnostic ultrasound?
Same physics, different goal. Diagnostic ultrasound produces images; therapeutic ultrasound delivers vibration and heat into the tissue.
Will I feel anything during the session?
A smooth wand glide and sometimes mild warmth. Nothing painful.
