What Is Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy differs from the diagnostic ultrasounds used to take pictures. Instead of imaging, it treats. The machine sends sound waves into the tissue that reduce inflammation and encourage healing, while gentle warmth helps the surrounding muscles relax. It is a non-invasive way to speed recovery from soft-tissue injuries without medication.
Scar tissue, tissue damage, muscle tension, and sports injuries can all benefit from ultrasound therapy. At ProWellness Family Chiropractic, we provide it as part of our mission to help patients make a full recovery from whatever they are struggling with. You rest while a small wand moves over the area, and most people feel only a mild warmth. Schedule your appointment and see how our drug-free care can help restore your health.

What to Expect During Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound sessions are short, usually about 5 to 15 minutes depending on what is being treated and how severe it is. A little gel goes on the skin, then a small wand moves over the area in slow circles. Most people feel only a mild warmth and nothing more. There are no needles and no recovery to plan around. We explain what we are treating and why before we begin.
Is Ultrasound Therapy Right for You?
Ultrasound therapy is a gentle, low-risk option that fits many people recovering from soft-tissue injuries. There are areas we avoid, such as directly over active cancers, over the abdomen or lower back during pregnancy, near certain implants, and over open wounds or infections. We screen your history first so we only use ultrasound where it is safe and helpful for you. If it is not the right tool, we will point you toward one that is.
Cost, Insurance, and Payment
What ultrasound therapy costs depends on how many sessions your plan includes and whether it is combined with adjustments or other therapies. Coverage varies by plan. Our front desk verifies your benefits before you begin and explains self-pay options clearly, so you always know what to expect before you decide.

How long does an ultrasound therapy session last?
Sessions usually last about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on what is being treated and how severe the condition is. It is one of the quickest therapies in a typical plan.
Is ultrasound good for inflammation?
Yes. Reducing inflammation is one of the main reasons we use it. If you are looking for a non-invasive way to calm inflammation in the body, ultrasound therapy may be a good fit.
