Ultrasound

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and it is administered in the region of soft tissue injuries.

How does Ultrasound work?

The sound waves, some moving with a frequency of 1,000,000 waves per second, penetrate into deep into the tissues. The vibrations and heat break down and disperse unhealthy calcium and other hard tissue accumulations.

What does Ultrasound feel like?

Dr. Bravo keeps the gel warm in a special warmer as not to irritate the tissues. During the treatment most patients either feel nothing, or a pleasant and relaxing sensation below the skin’s surface.

Why is Ultrasound used?

The treatment can be administered directly to the affected area and it penetrates deeply. As the temperature rises, blood flow increases and muscle spasms relax thus speeding up the healing process.

What are the benefits of Ultrasound?
Ultrasound stimulated healing without irritation and enhances the body’s natural healing ability. It is effective in treating calcium deposition, speeds metabolism and improves blood flow and reduces nerve root irritation.
