What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound is a treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.
These sound waves stimulate circulation and cellular activity, helping the body repair damaged tissues more quickly.
Ultrasound therapy is commonly used in chiropractic care to treat soft tissue injuries, muscle strains, tendonitis, and joint inflammation.
How Ultrasound Therapy Works
A small handheld device delivers sound waves into the affected area. These waves create gentle vibrations within tissues that help:
โข Increase blood flow
โข Reduce inflammation
โข Break down scar tissue
โข Stimulate tissue repair
โข Relax tight muscles
Improved circulation allows the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, accelerating the natural healing process.
