Lyn Lake Chiropractic uses Therapeutic Ultrasound as part of our treatment offerings to help patients recover from a variety of injuries and chronic conditions.
How Therapeutic Ultrasound Works
The use of Therapeutic Ultrasound produces both thermal and mechanical effects on the targeted injured tissue. This results in increased local metabolism, circulation, extensibility of connective tissue, and tissue regeneration.
What Ultrasound Treats
Ultrasound is used for neck pain, low back pain, Achilles pain, ankle pain, foot pain and more — making it a versatile tool in our broader treatment approach for musculoskeletal pain and injury recovery.
