THERAPEUTIC ULTRASOUND
Targeted Relief. Gentle, Effective Healing.
Therapeutic ultrasound is a gentle, evidence-based treatment used to reduce breast pain, swelling, and inflammation related to breastfeeding concerns. It is included in the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s updated clinical guidelines for managing conditions along the mastitis spectrum, including engorgement, clogged ducts, inflammatory mastitis, and bacterial mastitis.
Therapeutic ultrasound therapy uses low-intensity sound waves to create soothing vibrations within the breast tissue. These vibrations help calm inflammation, increase circulation, and decrease swelling—supporting improved milk flow and promoting faster symptom relief.
We recommend beginning therapeutic ultrasound as soon as symptoms appear, such as breast tenderness, redness, swelling, or firm areas. Even in cases of bacterial mastitis, ultrasound can be a helpful supportive treatment when used alongside care from your medical provider, including antibiotics when appropriate.

Gentle Relief for Breastfeeding Related Pain.
Pain is one of the most common reasons parents stop breastfeeding earlier than they planned—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Therapeutic ultrasound is a gentle, evidence-based treatment that helps relieve pain and inflammation, supporting healing so you can continue feeding your baby with confidence.
This therapy uses ultrasound waves to create soft, soothing vibrations within the breast tissue. These vibrations help reduce swelling, improve milk flow, and calm inflammation deep in the breast—often the root cause of recurring concerns such as clogged ducts, breast pain, or mastitis. Unlike many quick fixes you may see online, therapeutic ultrasound addresses the underlying issue rather than just surface symptoms, helping to reduce the risk of future flare-ups.
Therapeutic ultrasound is included in the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s updated clinical protocol for treating conditions across the mastitis spectrum, including engorgement, clogged ducts, inflammatory mastitis, and bacterial mastitis. It is safe, noninvasive, and research-supported, offering relief you can trust.
There is a lot of mixed—and often inaccurate—information online about managing breast inflammation. You deserve care that is clear, effective, and grounded in evidence. Therapeutic ultrasound provides a proven option to support healing and comfort during your breastfeeding journey.
You don’t have to push through pain or hope it resolves on its own. With the right support, relief is possible—and you can continue breastfeeding in a way that feels sustainable and empowering.
