Ultrasound Therapy in Tucson
Advanced Healing Without Surgery or Medication
At Ornelas Chiropractic, we offer therapeutic ultrasound as part of our integrated approach to healing. This non-invasive, drug-free treatment helps reduce inflammation, speed up tissue repair, and relieve deep muscle pain, especially after accidents, strains, or repetitive stress injuries.
Ultrasound therapy is available at both of our Tucson locations and is often combined with chiropractic care and other physical medicine modalities for faster, more effective results.
What Is Ultrasound Therapy?
Ultrasound therapy uses sound wave technology to deliver gentle, deep heat into soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It stimulates circulation and promotes cellular repair where your body needs it most, all without discomfort or downtime.
This therapy is widely used in chiropractic, physical therapy, and sports medicine for its ability to accelerate healing and reduce pain naturally.
