Ultrasound Therapy

Gentle Heat Therapy for Recovery and Wellness

Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive wellness modality that uses sound waves to create a deep, soothing heat within the muscles and soft tissues. Unlike topical heat packs that only warm the surface, ultrasound gently penetrates beneath the skin to promote circulation, tissue relaxation, and overall recovery.

This therapy is designed to complement chiropractic care by providing an additional layer of support for muscle comfort, flexibility, and general wellness.

How Ultrasound Therapy Works

During a session, a small ultrasound applicator is moved across the skin with the aid of a conductive gel. The device delivers sound waves that safely vibrate the tissues below the surface. These vibrations create a deep warming effect that cannot be felt as “heat” on the skin but is experienced within the muscle layers.

This gentle thermal effect encourages circulation, supports the body’s natural healing processes, and creates a relaxing sensation that leaves muscles feeling refreshed.

Benefits for Recovery and Wellness

Ultrasound therapy is valued for its ability to support the body in recovery and maintenance — even outside of injury or pain care. Key benefits include:
    •    Enhanced Circulation – Encourages blood flow that delivers oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, supporting overall vitality.
    •    Deep Muscle Relaxation – Helps loosen tight muscles, promoting greater comfort and ease of movement.
    •    Supports Tissue Recovery – Aids the body’s natural ability to restore balance and wellness after activity or daily stress.
    •    Improved Flexibility – Gentle warming of the tissues allows for smoother, more comfortable movement.
    •    Wellness-Focused – Safe and natural, ultrasound therapy fits seamlessly into a wellness routine to keep the body feeling its best.

What to Expect

Ultrasound therapy is comfortable and non-invasive. Most patients feel only a gentle, soothing movement of the applicator during the session, which typically lasts 5–10 minutes. Many describe the experience as calming, restorative, and refreshing.
