Utilizing Ultrasound Technology for Pain Treatment and Wellness

Nearly every woman who has given birth in the last few decades is familiar, in some form, with an ultrasound machine. However, most people do not know it is possible to utilize a similar type of ultrasound technology as part of shoulder pain treatment, back pain treatment and an overall wellness regimen. At Sharratt Chiropractic, we are able to incorporate ultrasound into our healing techniques to help relieve inflammation and pain.

For those unfamiliar with the therapeutic ultrasound technique, it is a simple treatment that includes high-frequency sound waves emitted from a specialized machine. This technology is often administered directly onto the soft tissue region that the patient is experiencing as painful.

To begin, a warmed gel is applied directly onto the surface of the skin. An ultrasound wand with a special head is then rotated against the skin in a circular motion. The gel helps amplify the effects of the machine, causing a magnetization of the sound waves being emitted from the device. Vibrations coming from the machine can be as fast as a million times per second and are able to penetrate the tissues deep in the body, creating a low heat response. It is this low heat that makes ultrasound such an effective treatment option.

What is really amazing is that simple sound wave vibrations and low heat are able to break down unhealthy calcium deposits and other hard tissue accumulations within the muscles of the body. In some instances, this method will be followed up with massage therapy to loosen tightness in any muscles.

For those with back pain in early pregnancy or for those with other health concerns that do not allow for other techniques to be used, ultrasound is a very safe treatment option. Ultrasound is also a great shoulder pain treatment, back pain treatment, muscle strain treatment and excellent for other musculoskeletal issues.

Ultrasound and Massage for Relieving Back Pain in Early Pregnancy

Finding a safe and effective back pain treatment or shoulder pain treatment plan for use early in pregnancy is often difficult to do. Many expectant mothers are nervous about trying any sort of procedure that may cause harm to the growing fetus, and knowing what is safe and still effective can be tough. Thankfully, ultrasound and massage are both proven as effective and harmless for use during the early stages of pregnancy. In fact, it can relax the mother which allows for an even greater overall state of wellness for both her and the baby!
