Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to promote healing in soft tissues, muscles, ligaments, and joints. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound, which creates images, therapeutic ultrasound delivers sound waves deep into injured or inflamed tissues. The purpose of this therapy is to reduce pain, increase circulation, and speed up the body’s natural healing process.
Benefits of Therapeutic Ultrasound
Reduces pain and inflammation
Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues
Relaxes tight muscles and connective tissue
Speeds up healing of soft tissue injuries
Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions
Enhances flexibility and range of motion
Long-Term Impact
With consistent use, therapeutic ultrasound helps prevent chronic stiffness, reduces scar tissue buildup, and improves long-term joint and muscle function. When combined with chiropractic adjustments and corrective exercises, it supports a faster recovery, helps maintain mobility, and strengthens your body’s ability to heal naturally.
Therapeutic ultrasound is commonly used to treat:
Tendinitis and bursitis
Sprains and strains
Plantar fasciitis
Osteoarthritis
