Ultrasound Therapy for Mastitis

Are you dealing with mastitis or a blocked nipple duct while breastfeeding? We understand how painful and frustrating this can be, especially during such a special and challenging time. At DX Physio, we’re here to help. Our non-invasive ultrasound therapy is designed to assist in reducing discomfort and supporting milk flow, so you can focus on your little one with less worry.

What Is Ultrasound Therapy for Mastitis?

Ultrasound therapy is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that may assist in managing blocked nipple ducts and mastitis. By using high-frequency sound waves, we aim to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and support milk flow to help you feel more comfortable.
