Therapeutic Ultrasound for Upper Back Pain | Dr. Mark Kowalski

If you suffer from tight, sore muscles in your upper back and shoulders, a treatment called therapeutic ultrasound may offer significant relief. This non-invasive procedure targets deep muscle tension and stiffness right at the source.

As seen in the demonstration, the therapy is applied to the trapezius area—a common spot for knots and pain. The process involves applying a clear gel to the skin and moving a small ultrasound wand over the affected muscles.

This isn't the same as a diagnostic ultrasound used for imaging; this type creates deep heat through high-frequency sound waves. A typical session lasts about ten minutes, and its primary goals are to:

• Improve blood flow and circulation to the area.
• Help relax tight, knotted muscles.
• Promote faster soft tissue healing.
