Therapeutic Ultrasound in Charlotte, NC

Therapeutic Ultrasound Services in Charlotte, NC

Ultrasound treatments help reduce stiffness, swelling, and pain, increase circulation, and promote pain-free movement. Therapeutic ultrasound therapy in our Charlotte office may be used alone or in conjunction with electrical muscle stimulation, stretching, therapeutic massage, heat, or gentle chiropractic manipulation. While it shares the same name, this ultrasound is not the same as that used diagnostically to screen the body internally. 

What is Therapeutic Ultrasound?

Ultrasound emits small sound waves at an extremely high frequency that is out of the range of human hearing. When applied to problem areas in soft tissues and joints, it produces heat that helps reduce inflammation and increase blood flow, in addition to decreasing pain, stiffness, and spasms. Therapeutic ultrasound is also believed to have a positive effect on the healing process.

How Does Our Therapeutic Ultrasound in Our Charlotte Offices Work?

While its effects and goals are different from ultrasound screening technologies, ultrasound therapy is implemented in much the same way. The process may be familiar if you’ve ever had an ultrasound screening in the past.

An ultrasound emitting ‘wand’ will be passed over your skin across the pain point or injury. We will apply ultrasound gel to your skin to reduce friction and allow for better transmission of the ultrasound waves. Despite the deep-­tissue heat applied during the therapy, you typically will feel little or no heat at all.

Therapeutic ultrasound has been shown to facilitate the body's healing process at the most basic cellular level. Contact our office today to discuss whether therapeutic ultrasound may be beneficial to you on your road to recovery.
