Ultrasound is a safe and painless technology that utilizes the power of high-frequency sound waves to decrease muscle tension, promote blood flow and to soothe irritated nerves that may be causing pain.  Ultrasound waves penetrate deeply into the body tissues, so that even muscles far below the surface of the body can be treated.  Depending upon your condition, Dr. Flaskey may decide to use ultrasound alone, or in combination with electrotherapy to aide in the adjustment and healing process.  Conditions ranging from trigger points to sprains and strains all respond well to ultrasound.
