Iontophoresis & Phonophoresis Therapy in Toronto, Ontario
At Aurora Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in advanced topical drug delivery treatments including iontophoresis and phonophoresis. These non-invasive therapies are used to deliver medications deep into the skin and underlying tissues, making them ideal for treating chronic pain, inflammation, and soft tissue injuries. Our pharmacy in Toronto offers custom-compounded gels and solutions specifically designed for optimal therapeutic absorption.
What is Phonophoresis?
Phonophoresis, also known as sonophoresis, uses ultrasound waves to enhance the absorption of medicated gels or creams into the skin. It’s a trusted technique in sports medicine, physiotherapy, and podiatry for managing soft tissue injuries and joint inflammation.
All compounds are prepared at our pharmacy under Health Canada guidelines, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade safety and purity.
What is Iontophoresis?
Iontophoresis is a safe, needle-free technique that utilizes a low-level electric current to deliver ionic medications through the skin. This method dramatically improves drug penetration compared to standard topical applications, sometimes by 20 to 60 times, helping to accelerate recovery and pain relief.
Conditions Treated with Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis can be used to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Tendonitis and bursitis (e.g., shoulder, elbow, Achilles tendon)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (alternative to steroid injections)
- TMJ disorders (jaw dysfunction)
- Arthritis and joint pain (including rheumatoid arthritis)
- Bone spurs and inflammation-related heel pain
- Post-surgical scar and adhesion management
- Localized anaesthesia for children and sensitive patients
- Hip pain relief in patients with sickle cell disorders
We compound ionized drug formulations including corticosteroids, antibiotics, antivirals, anesthetics, and more, tailored to your physician's treatment plan.
