What is Ultrasound with Low Volt Therapy and How can it Benefit the Health and Wellness of the Four State Communities?

Dr. Skaggs believes in exploring the most beneficial natural therapies for all of our patients. Some types of therapies work better for some patients than others, which is why we are always open to exciting new methods to wellness, including those that rely on various technologies and specific equipment. If you have never heard of ultrasound with low-level therapy, it may help to learn more about this exciting treatment.

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves that feature frequencies that far exceed the range of human audible capacities. For something we cannot hear, ultrasound emits a great deal of power at 800,000 Hz and 2,000,000 Hz for therapeutic purposes. To treat pain, ultrasound therapy stimulates damaged, inflamed, or otherwise irritated tissue beneath the skin's surface using these high-frequency waves. Using a gel on your skin to reduce friction, we will then use an applicator to apply this therapy to your skin's surface to transmit the ultrasonic waves to the underlying injured tissue.

Low-level laser therapy, or low volt therapy, harnesses light's natural healing powers to help in your recovery. Also known as cold laser therapy, this chiropractic technique gives us the power to accelerate the healing process, relieving your pain and inflammation quickly and naturally. The laser device is often the size of a flashlight, and Dr. Skaggs holds it over the injured area for a few minutes to let the photons pass through the skin's layers stimulate the tissue and start the healing process.
