Ultrasound

     Therapeutic Ultrasound is a common form of therapy in use by many Chiropractors.  Ultrasound works by applying powerful sound waves to the injured area.  It works by thermal effect, causing deep heating of injured tissues beneath the skin.  This increases the rate of healing of your injury.  The intensity, frequency, and depth of penetration can be adjusted to treat your specific condition properly.  Ultrasound is effective, safe, and totally painless.

     Ultrasound has been well documented to treat many conditions, such as:

• Musculoskeletal Pain

• Inflammation (Joint or Tissue)

• Pain & Spasms

• Sprain / Strain

• Tendinitis

• Tenosynovitis

• Bursitis, including Calcific Bursitis

• Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Periostitis (Inflammation of tissue surrounding bone)

• Capsulitis (Inflammation of ligaments surrounding joint)

• Joint Contracture

• Joint Adhesions

• Hematoma

• Neuroma

     Ultrasound is also showing promise in the treatment of:

• Myofascial Pain (Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Trigger Points)

• Fibrosis

• Phantom Limb Pain

• Ulcerated Wounds
