How Ultrasound Therapy Enhances Chiropractic Care

At Demsky Chiropractic, we integrate Ultrasound Therapy into our comprehensive care plans to accelerate healing and enhance the benefits of chiropractic adjustments. While chiropractic care restores spinal alignment and joint function, Ultrasound Therapy works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration.

Together, these treatments help patients:

• Decrease pain and inflammation more rapidly

• Boost tissue repair and collagen production

• Improve flexibility and joint mobility

• Support faster recovery from sports injuries, auto accidents, and chronic conditions

On a cellular level:

• Produce collagen and protein synthesis by stimulating fibroblast activity (what creates collagen)

• Increase extensibility of the tissue (increasing flexibility and decreasing stiffness)

• Increases membrane permeability which means it allows for easier transportation of ions and molecules to the damaged cells

• Increases production of antioxidant enzymes therefore, reducing oxidative stress in tissues

• Releases endorphins which are the bodies natural pain relieving chemicals, therefore controlling the gate control Theory of pain by activating large sensory fibers

• Ultrasound can also heal bones at a low intensity pulsed setting, it's great for osteoblast formation and growth factors like BMP for things like non-union fractures.
