Ultrasound is commonly used in chiropractic for musculoskeletal injuries to heal damaged tissue and relieve pain. The vibrations from the sound waves penetrate into the tissue and create a reaction that helps to heal the damaged tissue.

The benefits of ultrasound therapy include:

• Increased elasticity in the collagen found in joint capsules, tendons, and scar tissue
• Increased blood flow
• Reduction of muscle spasms
• Increased motor conduction.
