About This Treatment
What is Therapeutic Ultrasound?
Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into soft tissues, creating gentle heat that promotes healing at the cellular level. This non-invasive treatment increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, and accelerates tissue repair. Unlike diagnostic ultrasound used for imaging, therapeutic ultrasound is specifically designed to treat musculoskeletal conditions.
At Commerce Chiropractic Center, Dr. Shayda Mankooei integrates therapeutic ultrasound into comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and wellness goals.
