The many benefits of using Therapeutic Ultrasound as part of your chiropractic care routine are below:
- It’s a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin’s surface using sound waves. Essentially, it’s a very high frequency massage that can
penetrate up to 5″ below the surface of your skin. - Ultrasound therapy increases blood flow in the treated area which speeds the healing process.
- Ultrasound Therapy reduces swelling and edema which are the main sources of pain.
- Ultrasound waves gently massage the muscles, tendons and/or ligaments in the treated area. This enhances the recovery rate of damaged tissue without adding strain, and softens any scar tissue that is usually present in an injured area. The Ultrasound also treats injuries to the tendons, ligaments, muscles and cartilage.
The stimulated tissue and increased blood flow speed the healing process. Typically, these types of injuries are very slow to heal and because people continue to try to use the injured body part, the injury is repeatedly stressed. Regular applications of ultrasound over the duration of the healing period will significantly reduce pain and the time to heal.
