Therapeutic Ultrasound generally refers to any type of procedure that uses ultrasound for therapeutic benefit. This includes HIFU, lithotripsy, targeted ultrasound drug delivery, trans-dermal ultrasound drug delivery, ultrasound hemostasis, and ultrasound assisted thrombolysis.

Therapeutic ultrasound is sometimes recommended for muscle as well as joint pain and has been used in various drug delivery applications to enhance the delivery of pharmaceuticals to target tissues.  It facilitates the delivery of drugs across the skin, promotes gene therapy to specific tissues, delivers chemotherapeutic drugs into tumors and deliver thrombolytic drugs into blood clots. In addition, ultrasound has also been shown to facilitate the healing of wounds and bone fractures.
