The ultrasound probe, sometimes referred to as the ultrasound wand, contains crystals that the ultrasound machine uses to pass an electric current through. Waves from the vibrating probe pass through the skin and into the body beneath. In order to produce the intended effects, the waves convey energy to the tissues.

It is used to treat and manage a variety  of musculoskeletal conditions, including as pain, muscle spasms, and tissue damage.
