Ultrasound Therapy in Granite City
Dealing With Joint Pain and Inflammation
If sore, swollen joints are slowing down your day—knees that creak at school pickup, a tender elbow from weekend sports, or heels that ache—our team is here to help. At Shipley Chiropractic , you’ll find a warm, inviting atmosphere where we listen, explain, and get to work. Therapeutic ultrasound is one of the gentle tools we use to help calm inflammation and reduce pain, so you can move more easily and feel more like yourself.
Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy and How We Use It
This modality uses sound waves (not imaging) to create a soothing, deep warmth in irritated tissues. That warmth boosts circulation and helps quiet inflamed joints. Our doctors often pair this therapy with a chiropractic adjustment for faster, longer-lasting relief, based on findings from your exam and on-site X-rays.
Help Relieve Discomfort with Ultrasound
Patients with joint-related inflammation usually benefit the most from this method. If any of these sound familiar, this gentle therapy may be a great fit:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Epicondylitis (tennis or golfer’s elbow)
- Bursitis
- Shoulder or hip inflammation
- Tender, swollen, or overworked joints
What to Expect at Your Visit
There’s no special outfit needed, just wear clothing that allows easy access to the area we’re working on. Elbows are easily exposed; knees may require shorts or loose-fitting pants. Sessions are brief and often accompanied by an adjustment; they can be scheduled independently when necessary.
Some insurance plans cover ultrasound, and if it’s not covered, we keep the out-of-pocket fee nominal. You’ll meet with our friendly team, who take a thorough, ethical, and transparent approach to care.
