Medical technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds over the last few decades. This is certainly true of chiropractic care. Advanced treatments like ultrasound therapy can be harnessed to help injuries heal and reduce pain while safeguarding your overall health. If you'd like to try ultrasound therapy in Gillette, WY, contact Dr. Kim Maycock. She can work with you to customize an injury recovery and pain relief plan using advanced technologies and hands-on care.
What Makes Ultrasound Therapy So Effective
Ultrasound can penetrate deep into the body. It can be hard to work with tissues and organs located beneath the skin. Unfortunately, many common ailments and injuries are due to problems in the deep muscles, but with ultrasound, it's possible to stimulate biological processes in the deeper layers. This can spur tissue repair, the breakup of scar tissue, and the release of endorphins, which are your body's natural pain-relief molecules.
Ultrasound therapy at our Gillette, WY, office is delivered through a hand-held device that Dr. Maycock passes over an injured area. The area is covered in gel to help the device move smoothly and direct vibrating waves into the skin, but other than being cool to the touch, it shouldn’t cause pain.
Painkillers can block pain signals from reaching the brain, but they often fail to address underlying problems. This means that as soon as the pain medication wears off, the pain may return. In some cases, your aches may even be worse. With ultrasound, it may be possible to secure more lasting relief.
