For residents of Taos, MO, that transparency is a big part of why they keep coming back.
Therapeutic ultrasound is not the imaging kind used to see babies—it is a deep-heating treatment that uses sound waves to reach tissues several centimeters below the skin. A handheld sound head glides over the injured area with a conductive gel, delivering vibrations that create gentle heat deep within muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This deep heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasms, speeds the healing of soft tissues, and makes stiff joints more responsive to adjusting. Wheat Chiropractic uses ultrasound to treat muscle strains, tendonitis, bursitis, and scar-tissue buildup from old injuries. A treatment takes only 5–10 minutes and is completely painless—most patients feel only mild warmth. It is frequently paired with chiropractic adjustments, since loosened, warmed muscles hold an adjustment better and recover faster.
Most patients feel only mild warmth or nothing at all. The sound head glides over the skin with a gel, delivering deep heat to muscles and tendons. Taos patients often find the 5–10 minute session relaxing and completely painless.
Ultrasound loosens tight muscles and increases blood flow before an adjustment, so the joint moves more freely and holds the correction longer. Taos patients get better, longer-lasting results when ultrasound is paired with adjusting.
When performed as part of a chiropractic treatment plan, ultrasound therapy is usually covered by major medical insurance. The office verifies benefits before care begins, so Taos patients know their cost.
