Gentle Mastitis Treatment for Pain-Free Breastfeeding

Mastitis Treatment Gold Coast
Hands On Physio Robina

Mastitis can make breastfeeding difficult and uncomfortable, but relief is closer than you think. At Female Physio Co, we offer personalised mastitis treatment designed to meet your specific needs. Using therapeutic ultrasound and other effective techniques, we help you recover quickly, ease your discomfort and make your breastfeeding journey more enjoyable.

What is Mastitis?

Mastitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation or infection in the milk ducts, often resulting from a blocked duct. Symptoms can include breast tenderness, redness, swelling, and flu-like symptoms; if left untreated, mastitis can lead to abscesses. Blocked ducts typically cause lumps, pain, and decreased milk flow, making breastfeeding challenging and uncomfortable.

What is Therapeutic Ultrasound?

Therapeutic ultrasound is a safe and effective technique for treating mastitis and blocked ducts. This non-invasive treatment uses soundwaves to create gentle heat and vibrations in your breast tissue, which:

  • Improves blood flow and circulation.
  • Breaks down blockages in the milk ducts.
  • Reduces pain and inflammation.

Mastitis treatment is tailored to your unique needs, helping reduce discomfort in your breasts and continue feeding successfully. Therapeutic Ultrasound for mastisis may avoid the use of antibiotics, but we always recommend consulting your doctor or lactation consultant.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Therapeutic ultrasound isn’t painful – all you’ll feel during your treatment is a soothing tingling or warming sensation in your skin. However, as a precaution, we’ll quickly check your skin’s sensitivity to hot and cold before commencing your treatment. This involves gently applying a warm or cool tool to the area and confirming your ability to recognise the sensation. Treatment is typically recommended for 30 minutes daily over 2-3 consecutive days. If symptoms persist, further medical assessment may be required.

Post-Treatment Care

Following your mastitis treatment, we provide the following suggestions for at-home care:

  • Continue to breastfeed or express milk frequently.
  • Use cold packs or cabbage leaves to reduce swelling.
  • Gently massage your breasts before and after feeding.

Combined with our therapeutic ultrasound treatment, these strategies help prevent recurring blockages and maintain successful breastfeeding.
