Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic Ultrasound has been a popular therapy the last few months at the clinic. Lets dive into what makes this so beneficial for many different patients.
Therapeutic Ultrasound, or (TU) uses sound waves to deliver ultrasonic energy into the target tissue. This causes improved circulation, decreased pain, increased flexibility, and faster healing/tissue regeneration. TU has been shown to improve healing in almost all soft tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
At Core Chiropractic & Wellness, we see many different soft tissue injuries such as rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfers elbow, back strains, and more! All of these injuries can be helped with TU treatments.
If you have a soft tissue injury that needs to be looked at feel free to stop by the clinic and see if Therapeutic Ultrasound could be beneficial for your issue.
Here is a Systematic Review (high level stuff) from 2018 that supports this therapy.
