Therapeutic ultrasound demonstrates two types of benefit: thermal and non thermal effects. Thermal effects are due to the body's absorption of the sound waves. Non thermal effects are from linear cavitation microstreaming and acounstic streaming. Cavitational effects result from the vibration of the tissue causing microscopic air bubbles to form, which transmit the vibrations in a way that directly stimulates cell membranes. This physical stimulation appears to enhance the cell-repair effects of the inflammatory response.
