Therapeutic ultrasound is a powerful tool often used by Doctors Andrea and Michael Hogan of Hogan Family Chiropractic in Frisco, TX, to complement chiropractic care for managing pain and promoting recovery. As a non-invasive treatment option, ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, relieving musculoskeletal issues and helping to enhance overall wellness.
What is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound involves high-frequency sound waves to treat pain and soft tissue injuries. During an ultrasound therapy session, a chiropractor applies gel to help the ultrasound device glide smoothly on your skin on the treated area. This therapy is gentle and typically takes between 5 and 10 minutes, with most individuals reporting a comforting warmth during the ultrasound session. Many notice a sense of relief and relaxation after the session has ended.
These waves create gentle heat and vibration that provide the following benefits -
- Minimize swelling
- Improve flexibility
- Enhance blood flow to the affected body area, which helps accelerate healing
How Therapeutic Ultrasound Works with Chiropractic Care
Therapeutic ultrasound provides a synergistic approach when integrated with chiropractic care. Both therapeutic ultrasound and chiropractic care prioritize drug-free, natural solutions for pain management while also promoting wellness. Ultrasound therapy helps reduce inflammation, which enhances the comfort and, ultimately, the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. It also breaks down scar tissue, improving the range of motion in muscles.
