This type of ultrasound is a treatment method that chiropractors and other healthcare practitioners use on the body’s soft tissues to reduce inflammation and pain and speed up the healing of injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Many types of soft tissue injury may benefit from the use of therapeutic ultrasound.
Examples include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Shoulder pain, including frozen shoulder – a condition that limits your range of motion
- Bursitis – inflammation around joints
- Chronic pain
- Tendonitis
- Ligament strains
- Muscle sprains
- Joint tightness
- Delayed-onset muscle soreness.
How Ultrasound Therapy Works
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to produce vibrations, which create heat that penetrates deep within the tissues. The heat generated helps relax musculature, increase blood flow, and speed up healing. The ultrasound waves can pulse away inflammation and increase elasticity of the injured tissue.
Most people say they enjoy receiving ultrasound therapy due to its relaxing nature.
