If you are suffering from pain and tension or are recovering from an injury, Dr. Pete Lazarnick provides therapeutic ultrasound in Carrollton, GA to relieve pain and aid the recovery process.
What is Ultrasound Therapy?
Therapeutic ultrasound is a natural treatment option for alleviating pain and tension. It utilizes a device to send vibrations through sound waves to deep tissues in the body. These vibrations provide several benefits, including the following:
Promotes Blood Flow
The disturbance of the sound waves causes the body to respond by sending more blood to the targeted area. As blood flow carries nutrients to that area, the natural healing process can begin.
Breaks Down Scar Tissue
Scar tissue can form below deep layers of muscle, causing pain, tension, and inflammation. This tissue can be difficult for some treatment types to reach. However, the sound waves from therapeutic ultrasound in Carrollton, GA can reach those deep layers to tear apart the scar tissue.
Reduces Pain and Tension
Due to the increased blood flow that ultrasound therapy provides, targeted areas are able to heal. And by breaking the scar tissue down, it reduces or eliminates any pain and inflammation in those areas. These combined benefits help the patient achieve natural pain relief, more relaxed muscles, an improved range of motion, and increased flexibility.
