Ultrasound Therapy

Therapeutic ultrasound is a form of deep heat therapy created by high frequency sound waves. When applied to soft tissues and joints, the sound waves are a form of micro-massage that help reduce swelling and increase blood flow. We will often use this to treat ligaments, tendons and joint capsules.

Therapeutic ultrasound treats internal ailments with a sound frequency far beyond the maximum that can be detected by the human ear. This noninvasive and painless treatment is F.D.A. approved and has been used throughout the world for over 50 years.

Dr. Carradine Asks some important questions of interest to Boardman residents - Chiropractor Boardman Dr. Carradine Asks...

Where do most Boardman residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Boardman newborn.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
