O’Brien’s Signature Treatments

Ultrasound Therapy in La Crosse

Ultrasound therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue repair.

At O’Brien Physical Therapy & Wellness, it’s one of many tools we use to support healing at the cellular level—especially for deeper injuries you can’t stretch or foam roll away. Ultrasound therapy is a safe and effective option for those recovering from soft tissue injuries or managing chronic pain.

What to Expect During a Session

Ultrasound therapy is painless and quick. Here’s what your session may involve:

  1. A small device called a sound head is moved in gentle circles over the treatment area
  2. Conductive gel is used to help transmit the sound waves
  3. You may feel warmth or tingling, but the treatment is typically relaxing
  4. Sessions last about 5 to 10 minutes, often combined with other therapies
  5. No downtime—just subtle, powerful healing beneath the surface

You’ll be guided every step of the way by your physical therapist, who adjusts treatment based on your body’s needs.
