Therapeutic ultrasound utilizes high frequency sound waves to promote tissue healing. There are 3 primary benefits to ultrasound. First it speeds up the healing process by increasing the blood flow to the treated area. Second it decreases pain by reducing swelling and inflammation. Third it softens and reduces scar tissue and adhesions,We use ultrasound with many of our acute and accidental injury patients in conjunction with chiropractic care to promote faster tissue healing and pain relief. It works equally as well with patients suffering from more chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.The following types of conditions respond favorably to ultrasound therapy: ligament sprains, muscle strains, muscle spasms, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, spinal disc issues, impingement syndrome, and scar tissue.Call our office today for more information or to schedule an appointment
