Ultrasound is a form of sound with a frequency above the upper limit of a person's ability to hear, i.e. above 20 kHz. In medicine, ultrasound is used to diagnose and treat a variety of ailments. In therapy, ultrasound is used to treat inflammation, regenerate tissues, relieve pain and improve microcirculation.
