Therapeutic Ultrasound, Laser/Light Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage for Clogged Ducts, Engorgement and Mastitis

Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) can be performed by a trained physical therapist for “clogged ducts”, engorgement, and mastitis to reduce inflammation, edema, pain, and firmness.

TUS emits non-painful sound waves promoting healing and may facilitate milk let-down. With TUS most people see me for 1-2 sessions and have resolution of symptoms in under a week!

My physical therapy session goes as follows:

✨Lymphatic drainage

✨Red and near infrared low level laser/light therapy

✨Therapeutic ultrasound

If you have a “clogged duct” don’t stop feeding, overfeed, or over pump. If you’re unable to clear your clogged duct on your own, please reach out! Lymphatic drainage, laser/light therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound can help clear clogged ducts and prevent mastitis! 

Ideally, TUS is performed daily until relief is achieved. If symptoms persist despite several days of treatment or if there are signs of a fever, a referral to a medical doctor should be made.
