Introduction: Gentle Healing with Advanced Therapy
Muscle pain, stiffness, and limited mobility can interfere with even the simplest activities. Many patients want relief without relying on medications or invasive procedures. At our office in Cliffside Park, we offer therapeutic ultrasound, a safe and painless treatment that uses sound waves to reach deep into muscle and joint tissue.
This advanced therapy reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and helps restore natural movement. Whether you are recovering from an injury or managing a chronic condition, therapeutic ultrasound can be an important part of your healing plan.
What is Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound is a treatment that uses high frequency sound waves to stimulate tissues below the surface of the skin.
These sound waves gently penetrate muscles, ligaments, and joints to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and promote healing.
Unlike diagnostic ultrasound used for imaging, therapeutic ultrasound is designed to create a healing effect inside soft tissues. It is non-invasive, completely painless, and often described by patients as soothing.
Who Can Benefit from Therapeutic Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is widely used in chiropractic and physical rehabilitation because it helps a variety of patients, including those with:
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Joint stiffness and reduced mobility
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Sports injuries such as sprains or strains
- Arthritis and joint inflammation
- Sciatica or nerve related pain
- Swelling after injury or overuse
- Post surgical recovery support
If you are looking for a natural therapy to relieve pain and improve function, ultrasound may be the right solution.
Benefits of Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound offers several important benefits, including:
- Reduces inflammation and swelling
- Improves circulation to speed up healing
- Relieves muscle pain and stiffness
- Enhances range of motion and flexibility
- Promotes relaxation of tight muscles
- Supports healing after injury or surgery
- Provides non invasive, drug free pain relief
Many patients find that combining ultrasound with chiropractic adjustments or rehabilitation exercises leads to faster, longer lasting results.
Types of Ultrasound Therapy We Offer
Our office provides two effective forms of therapeutic ultrasound, each with specific benefits:
Trigger Point Ultrasound
This technique combines ultrasound with a mild electrical impulse to create a slight muscle contraction. The ultrasound head is placed directly on the area of pain and held for several seconds, allowing the trigger point to release. This method is especially effective for stubborn muscle knots and localized pain.
Traditional Ultrasound Therapy
In this approach, the ultrasound head is moved in slow circular motions over the affected area. The goal is to reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and restore comfort to surrounding joints and soft tissues. Patients often experience a soothing, warming sensation during treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment
>Ultrasound therapy sessions are simple, comfortable, and typically last 10 to 20 minutes. A small amount of gel is applied to the treatment area to help conduct the sound waves. The ultrasound device is then placed against the skin and moved in a controlled pattern.
Most patients feel little to nothing during treatment, although some may notice a mild warmth. There is no downtime, so you can return to normal activities immediately after your session.
