What Is Ultrasound Therapy for Lower Back Pain?
Chronic lower back pain can affect every area of your life. At Heuser Chiropractic Health and Accident Recovery Center, our chiropractor Dr. Douglas Devries understands how debilitating lower back pain can be. He can diagnose the root cause of your back pain and design a personalized low back pain treatment plan in Yuma, AZ. He may recommend a combination of chiropractic care, therapeutic exercises, spinal decompression, class IV laser therapy, trigger point therapy, and ultrasound therapy to relieve back pain. Here is a look at what ultrasound therapy is and how it can relieve lower back pain.
What Is Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy is a safe, non-invasive pain management therapy. It uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into your soft tissues to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. Ultrasound therapy has been proven effective at treating low back pain due to:
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Sciatica
- Herniated disc
- Arthritis of the spine
- Repetitive stress or overuse injury
How Does Ultrasound Therapy Relieve Lower Back Pain?
As your body absorbs the sound waves generated by the ultrasound device, it begins healing processes that target the underlying cause of your back pain. Your body will release healing chemicals, nutrients, and hormones and increase blood flow to the injured area. This will promote tissue healing, relieve pain, reduce inflammation and swelling, and improve tissue repair and cell regeneration. Over time, ultrasound therapy can reduce muscle cramps and spasms and improve mobility and stability.
Why Choose Ultrasound Therapy Over Other Treatment Options?
One of the biggest benefits of ultrasound therapy is that it is non-invasive with almost no risk of complications. This means that it can be combined with other therapeutic injury rehabilitation treatment options without risk of negative side effects. Dr. Devries will create a therapeutic back pain treatment program that combines ultrasound therapy with other chiropractic therapies to accelerate healing, relieve pain, and restore balance, strength, and mobility.
