Ultrasound Therapy

While many people think of ultrasounds in connection with pregnancy and other scans, there are other uses for the tool as well. Ultrasound therapy is popular with physical therapists and other medical professionals. They use deep heating and a method called cavitation to improve healing times for various injuries. At DePietro Chiropractic & Wellness, we use a variety of tools to help eliminate your pain, including ultrasound therapy. If you live in Peckville, PA or the surrounding areas and would like to learn more about our ultrasound therapy, contact DePietro Chiropractic and Wellness at (570) 291-4450.

Chronic Pain

If you are suffering from chronic pain, ultrasound therapy could be useful. Many times, chronic pain is caused by problems in the muscles or the materials that connect your muscles and bones. Ultrasound waves can penetrate your muscles and apply deep heating to the soft tissue to improve circulation. Better circulation will result in better healing and reduced pain. While it might not eliminate your chronic pain forever, ultrasound therapy can be a very useful tool for managing your chronic pain.

Joint Tightness

Joint tightness can be as frustrating as pain. If you push your tight joints too hard, they could get injured. This will leave you with both pain and tightness, which can have a major impact on your quality of life. The circulation improvements provided by deep tissue therapy, as well as the contraction of gas bubbles that can promote healing, can improve your joints’ flexibility.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition in the hands and wrists. It is primarily caused by repetitive motions, which can be found in typing or other similar activities. It can result in severe pain and limited use of your hands. With ultrasound therapy, your physical therapist can increase the blood flow and reduce the inflammation caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sprains and Fractures

While a sprain or fracture should be seen in the emergency room, ultrasound therapy can help in later recovery. While the pain from this injury isn’t chronic, it is still due to damaged muscles and bones. Ultrasound therapy will promote faster healing while also reducing your pain.
