Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy in NYC
Therapeutic ultrasound is a modality our chiropractic and physical therapy team uses to accelerate healing in injured or inflamed muscle tissue. This is often as a complement to chiropractic adjustments rather than a treatment on its own.
How It Works
A handheld device delivers high-frequency sound waves into the affected tissue. Unlike a hot pack, which only warms the skin's surface, therapeutic ultrasound generates warmth that penetrates deep into the muscle, increasing local blood flow and cellular activity in the treatment area.
What It Can Help With
- Reducing swelling and inflammation after a muscle or soft-tissue injury
- Minimizing scar tissue formation during healing
- Improving flexibility in tight, restricted tissue
- Shortening overall recovery time when combined with chiropractic care
How We Use It at Vitality Health New York
Therapeutic ultrasound is typically layered into a broader, personalized treatment plan alongside chiropractic adjustments, medical massage, or physical therapy to best addresses the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.
