Innovative Therapies: Ultrasound & Muscle Stimulation

Ultrasound is a treatment tool used by Doctor's of Chiropractic for treating chronic pain and promoting tissue healing. We utilize ultrasound for “whiplash”- spinal injuries caused from auto accident trauma to the ligaments, muscle tissue, tendons, and joints.


Therapeutic ultrasound provides deep healing to soft tissue to increase blood circulation to those damaged tissues. Sound waves produces acoustic vibrations of different frequency ranges that selectively heats tissues. By using gel coupling applied to the effective area, ultrasound beams are transmitted from the soundhead to the patient body treatment area. 


In conjunction with Chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic ultrasound and electrotherapy (Combined Therapy) involves the stimulation of muscle contraction as the ultrasound head serves as an effective tool for heating deep tissue. The Combination of BOTH Ultrasound & Electrical Muscle Stim has benefits :


       1) Pain reduction and reduction in muscle spasms


       2) Effective in myofascial trigger points


       3) Increases blood flow that washes away metabolic                   

           waste products/chemical irritants that cause pain.

       4) Promotes tissue regeneration & collagen synthesis.


Electrical Muscle Stimulation or E-Stim involves sending

electrical impulses through the skin. The electrical impulses mimic what occurs when someone contracts and releases a muscle naturally. Electrodes are applied to the skin near the affected muscle to send an electrical surrent to the area. This current causes rhythmic muscle contractions. This response helps strengthen or re-train a muscle after injury. 


As with Therapeutic Ultrasound, Electrical Muscle Stimulation incrreases blood flow and reduces pain. Chiropractic treatment helps decrease the need for pain medication and its side effects. Here at Chiropractic Healing Center, BOTH treatments Therapeutic Ultrasound & Electrical Muscle Stimulation together may be utilized in treating soft tissue injuries.
