Ultrasound is the application of sound waves above human hearing to  tissue to increase healing in an area. Ultrasound that is applied to an  injured area provides a "micromassage", or a vibration at the cellular  level. This treatment decreases pain, increases flexibility, and speeds  the healing process. Ultrasound may also cause mild heating to occur in  the area, depending on how it is applied.

When properly applied, ultrasound will cause almost no sensation at all,  although a mild warmth may be felt on the skin and sometimes deeper in  the tissue.
