Therapeutic Ultrasounds in San Clemente, CA

Therapeutic Ultrasounds is one of 14 modalities we offer patients from San Clemente. The office sits about 20 minutes from San Clemente via I-5 at Avenida Pico, close enough for the Pier Bowl district residents to build it into a real care plan.

How it works

Inside a therapeutic ultrasounds session.

01

Apply conducting gel

A skin-safe gel lets the sound waves transmit smoothly from the wand into the tissue.

02

Move the wand

The wand is moved in slow, small circles across the treatment area, never held stationary.

03

Deliver deep vibration & warming

Sound waves cause microscopic vibration and gentle warming several centimeters below the surface.

04

Reassess

We check range of motion and tenderness before layering in adjusting, stretching, or another modality.
