Most people think of ultrasounds as a procedure that has to do with pregnancy. However, many chiropractors use therapeutic ultrasounds to treat common soft tissue injuries. This treatment is non-invasive and painless, making it a safe option for someone who wants pain relief without relying on medication or surgery.
How Therapeutic Ultrasounds Help With Soft Tissue Injuries
Therapeutic ultrasounds use ultrasonic soundwaves to penetrate into your body’s soft tissues. The gentle vibrations and heat generated from the vibration help increase blood flow, tissue relaxation, and scar tissue breakdown near the injured area. Ultrasound machines also have different vibration settings that chiropractors can adjust based on your condition.
Some of the most common soft tissue injuries therapeutic ultrasounds help with are:
- Tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Muscle sprains
- Chronic soft tissue injuries
- Bruising
- Joint tightness
