Ultrasound

When people think about an ultrasound machine, they usually think about Imaging modalities. It is true that ultrasound can be a very important Imaging tool. With access to ultrasound, it is possible to take a look at what is going on underneath the surface; however, chiropractors have also discovered that there are multiple uses available for ultrasound. We are Estner Injury Centers, and we have a tremendous amount of experience using ultrasound to help our patients. Learn more about how ultrasound therapy can be used below, and reach out to us to make an appointment with a member of our team. It would be our pleasure to help you. 

How Does Ultrasound Work?

Therapeutic ultrasound and ultrasound imaging work in similar ways. Both tools use sound waves to elicits various responses. With ultrasound imaging, sound waves are used to separate objects based on density. With therapeutic ultrasound, sound waves are used to stimulate various parts of the body, leading to healing. Even though ultrasound as a therapeutic process is still relatively new, we have worked hard to make sure you can take full advantage of it. 

What Conditions Can Ultrasound Treat?

There are plenty of conditions that we can treat using ultrasound therapy. For example, if you have pain in your shoulder, we can use therapeutic ultrasound to help you. Or, if you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, we may be able to use ultrasound therapy as a part of your treatment process. In addition, we can use ultrasound therapy to treat chronic pain, tendonitis, ligament sprains, muscle strains, and numerous other conditions. Regardless of whether you are looking for help recovering from a chronic injury, or if you are looking for help treating an acute injury, we would be happy to use ultrasound therapy to help you.
