An ultrasound machine
generates ultrasound waves.
In physical rehabilitation, therapeutic ultrasound heats deep tissues and can be used to improve the extensibility of connective tissues, decrease pain and muscle spasms, promote tissue healing, and improve the quality of scar tissue.30 Therapeutic ultrasound units
generate an ultrasound wave by applying an electric field to an array of piezoelectric crystals located on the transducer surface.
