Use of high-frequency sound waves (beyond the range of human hearing) to stimulate the deep tissues within the body.
Muscle pain, bone pain, ligament pain, tendon pain, nerve pain—musculoskeletal pain is as common as it is uncomfortable.
Chances are, you might be experiencing some form of musculoskeletal pain right now. And if you’re not, you could be soon, especially if you’re slouching as you read this. Go ahead and sit up straight!
If you’re in pain and seeking quick and relaxing relief, but the massage therapists are fully booked and you’re unsure about chiropractic adjustments, there’s another option for you at Gesund: ultrasound therapy.
Ultrasound therapy is a treatment used by chiropractors and physical therapists that uses sound waves to promote tissue healing and circulation. This method has been trusted since the 1950s. But how exactly does ultrasound therapy work, and what conditions can it effectively treat?
Anyone with musculoskeletal discomfort can benefit from ultrasound therapy. This treatment is commonly used for muscle, bone, ligament, tendon, and nerve pain. Whether you’re sore from a workout or stressed from long hours at a desk, ultrasound therapy can help.
Specific conditions that ultrasound therapy can effectively treat include:
*Note: While high-frequency ultrasound therapy has been used to target cancer cells in some types of cancer, it is not suitable for all cancers. High-frequency sound waves don’t pass through solid bone, making them ineffective for bone-related cancers and potentially harmful if they attack normal cells instead of cancer cells.
At gesund, our skilled professionals are here to help you find relief from your pain. Book an appointment today and discover the benefits of ultrasound therapy.
