Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound is a common treatment modality used in chiropractic care to promote tissue healing, reduce pain, and improve flexibility.

During a therapeutic ultrasound session, a small handheld device emits high-frequency sound waves that penetrate the skin and target deep tissues. These sound waves cause microscopic vibrations in the tissues, generating heat and promoting increased blood flow to the area.

The heat generated by therapeutic ultrasound helps to relax muscles, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain. Additionally, the increased blood flow can accelerate the healing process by delivering oxygen and nutrients to the affected tissues and removing waste products more efficiently.

Therapeutic ultrasound is often used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including sprains, strains, tendonitis, and muscle spasms. It is typically painless and non-invasive, making it a popular choice for chiropractic patients seeking natural pain relief and improved function.
