Ultrasound Therapy

Deep Tissue Healing Through Sound Wave Technology:

Fortin Chiropractic Clinic offers ultrasound therapy to help minimize muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and improve movement. Ultrasound is often incorporated into your personalized treatment plan after your initial evaluation, and it works beautifully alongside chiropractic adjustments, stretching, heat therapy, and soft‑tissue work.

Ultrasound therapy has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of soft‑tissue conditions. Many patients find the treatment soothing, describing it as a gentle, painless “micro‑massage” created by high‑frequency sound waves.

What Is Ultrasound Therapy?

Ultrasound therapy uses high‑frequency sound waves that penetrate deep into muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.

These sound waves create gentle vibrations that:

  • Increase local blood flow
  • Reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Relax tight or irritated tissues
  • Break down scar tissue and adhesions
  • Support faster healing of injured areas

Because ultrasound reaches deeper layers of tissue than manual techniques alone, it can be especially effective for stubborn or chronic soft‑tissue issues.

How Ultrasound Therapy Works:

During treatment, a small handheld device glides over the skin in slow, circular motions. The sound waves travel into the tissues, creating therapeutic heat and vibration that:

  • Improve circulation
  • Encourage pain‑free movement
  • Reduce stiffness and swelling
  • Calm irritated nerves
  • Enhance the effectiveness of your chiropractic adjustment

Most patients find the experience relaxing and comfortable.

Conditions That May Benefit From Ultrasound Therapy:

Ultrasound therapy is commonly used to help with:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Myofascial pain
  • Bursitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tendonitis and tendinopathies
  • Pain caused by scar tissue
  • Phantom limb pain
  • Sprains and strains
  • Chronic muscle tightness
  • Soft‑tissue injuries from overuse or sports

While research continues to evolve, many patients report meaningful relief and faster recovery when ultrasound is included in their care plan.

Patients often experience:

  • Reduced pain and discomfort
  • Decreased swelling and inflammation
