Ultrasound Therapy in Calgary, AB — Targeted Healing for Muscle and Soft Tissue
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver heat deep into muscle tissue, promoting healing and reducing chronic inflammation. At One Physio & Mobility Clinic, ultrasound therapy is used as part of a broader physiotherapy treatment — not as a standalone modality. It helps tissue heal and prepares the area for hands-on treatment and exercise.

Overview
When You Need Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy works well for chronic soft tissue injuries, tendinopathies, scar tissue from old injuries, and muscle pain that has not responded to other care alone. It is often used alongside manual therapy and exercise in the treatment of rotator cuff issues, plantar fasciitis, and soft tissue injuries from MVA or workplace accidents. It is a painless, non-invasive technique with no significant side effects.
Signs You Should Come In
- ✔ Chronic tendon pain like Achilles or rotator cuff issues
- ✔ Soft tissue injuries that are slow to heal
- ✔ Scar tissue or chronic inflammation in a muscle
- ✔ Post-MVA or WCB soft tissue injury
- ✔ Part of a broader physiotherapy treatment plan
How It Works
Our Ultrasound Therapy Process
We apply the ultrasound transducer directly to the skin with a conductive gel over the target area. The treatment is painless — most patients feel a mild warmth. Sessions are typically 5 to 10 minutes per area. Ultrasound is always combined with manual therapy, exercise, or other physiotherapy techniques in the same session — it is a tool in a broader plan, not the entire treatment.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does therapeutic ultrasound do?
Therapeutic ultrasound delivers sound waves into tissue to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and relax muscle spasm. It is used alongside manual therapy and exercise — not as a standalone treatment.
Is therapeutic ultrasound the same as diagnostic ultrasound?
No. Diagnostic ultrasound creates images for medical diagnosis. Therapeutic ultrasound uses different frequencies to promote tissue healing — you do not see any images.
Does it hurt?
No. You feel mild warmth during the treatment. It is completely comfortable.
Is ultrasound therapy covered by extended health?
Yes. Therapeutic ultrasound within a physiotherapy session is covered by most extended health plans. We direct bill.
