Ultrasound Therapy in Pittsburgh

Ultrasound therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to help reduce pain, improve circulation, and support tissue healing. At Randour Chiropractic Clinics, ultrasound therapy is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and inflammation.

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver targeted energy into injured or irritated tissues. This helps promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing process.

What Is Ultrasound Therapy?

Therapeutic ultrasound is a modality commonly used in chiropractic and rehabilitative care. It delivers sound waves deep into soft tissues, producing gentle heat and mechanical stimulation that can help:

  • Increase circulation

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Improve tissue flexibility

  • Decrease muscle spasms

  • Support healing in injured areas

Ultrasound therapy is painless and typically lasts only a few minutes per treatment area.

Conditions That May Benefit From Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is often used to support care for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Low back pain

  • Sciatica and pinched nerves

  • Muscle strains and sprains

  • Tendon and ligament injuries

  • Joint inflammation

  • Shoulder, hip, or knee pain

  • Sports injuries

  • Extremity pain involving muscles or soft tissues

Ultrasound therapy is frequently combined with chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, and corrective exercises to improve overall outcomes.

How Ultrasound Therapy Fits Into Chiropractic Care

Ultrasound therapy is not a standalone treatment. At Randour Chiropractic Clinics, it is used to support chiropractic care by preparing tissues for adjustment, calming irritated muscles, and promoting healing between visits.

Your chiropractor will determine whether ultrasound therapy is appropriate based on your condition, symptoms, and treatment goals.

What to Expect During Ultrasound Therapy

  • A handheld ultrasound device is applied to the affected area

  • A warming gel is used to help transmit sound waves

  • Treatment typically lasts 5–10 minutes per area

  • Most patients experience a gentle warming sensation

Ultrasound therapy is generally comfortable and well-tolerated.
