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

  • Muscle spasms and tension

  • Chronic scar tissue and adhesions

  • Sports and overuse injuries

  • Joint inflammation and stiffness
