If you struggle with a soft tissue injury, chronic joint inflammation, chronic connective tissue strain, or painful scar tissue accumulation around muscles, you should know about the healing benefits of therapeutic ultrasound at Silveria Chiropractic. Ultrasound treatment, in conjunction with chiropractic care and other non-invasive techniques, can help you overcome your pain, stiffness, and other musculoskeletal limitations. Take a look at this safe, drug-free road toward a more functional and comfortable life.

What Is Therapeutic Ultrasound?

The term "ultrasound" refers to sound waves generated in a frequency range far above that of human hearing. While you may have heard of it in the context of diagnostic imaging, therapeutic ultrasound operates at different frequencies than diagnostic ultrasound. The therapeutic instruments usually generate frequencies of 1MHz or 3MHz. 

When ultrasonic energy comes into contact with injured or ailing human tissues, some remarkable changes can occur. The waves increase blood flow to the treatment site, warming, and relaxing the tissues while also accelerating the healing process. 

Ultrasound also causes fluids to move through and among cells more easily, a phenomenon known as streaming. Meanwhile, ultrasonic vibration appears to increase the flexibility of collagen, a component of scar tissue and other structures, so that tissues can operate more comfortably and freely.

Conditions Treated by Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound can play an important role in both acute injury treatment and chronic pain management. Chiropractors, physical therapists, and other practitioners use to treat conditions such as:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Strained muscles
  • Sprained ligaments
  • Wrist pain
  • Running injuries
  • Adhesions (lumps of scar tissue that limit musculoskeletal motion)

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Don't normally write reviews but felt it was necessary in this case. Hurt my lower back and found Dr. Silveria online. Decided to give him a try and was VERY pleased with my visit! Dr. Silveria took the time to go over my x-rays in detail and explained in terms that were easily understandable. Adjustment went well and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Silveria too all who suffer back pain. And I'm very glad I selected him as I now have a new chiropractor to visit when my back acts up!"

  • "It's been awhile since I've been here, because I have a condition that prevents me from chiropractic care at this time. However, the service has always been consistently awesome. They have these 2 amazing machines I wish I could own. You lay down on your stomach and certain parts of the table raise at different times. I don't know how it works so well, but it loosens things up, and provides some release and relief. Then when you get adjusted, you're always well primed, getting the most out of your visit.

    If price is a concern, talk to them. Dr S. is awesome about coming up with a payment plan and such. Very good group, and I highly recommend."

  • "Dr Silveris is a personal yet professional chiropractor. Before coming to his office I was terrified of chiropractors and skeptical of treatment. After my initial treatment I was sold! I don't visit him weekly as I don't need it, but do go about every month-and-a-half...or before taking a vacation so my body feels great and I can relax! I highly recommend trying his services!"
