Our chiropractic office in Chino offers therapeutic ultrasound to support healing and pain relief.
If you're dealing with soft tissue injuries, chronic joint inflammation, connective tissue strain, or painful scar tissue buildup, therapeutic ultrasound may be an effective solution. At Baek's Chiropractic Health Center, this treatment is often used in conjunction with chiropractic care and other non-invasive therapies to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote natural healing.
Safe and drug-free, therapeutic ultrasound can help you regain function and move toward a more comfortable, active lifestyle.
What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
The term "ultrasound" refers to sound waves generated in a frequency range far above that of human hearing. While you may have heard of it in the context of diagnostic imaging, therapeutic ultrasound operates at different frequencies than diagnostic ultrasound. The therapeutic instruments usually generate frequencies of 1MHz or 3MHz.
When ultrasonic energy comes into contact with injured or ailing human tissues, some remarkable changes can occur. The waves increase blood flow to the treatment site, warming, and relaxing the tissues while also accelerating the healing process.
Ultrasound also causes fluids to move through and among cells more easily, a phenomenon known as streaming. Meanwhile, ultrasonic vibration appears to increase the flexibility of collagen, a component of scar tissue and other structures, so that tissues can operate more comfortably and freely.
