Ultrasound

Chiropractic Ultrasound During Pregnancy

When you're pregnant, your obstetrician will perform an ultrasound to assess the health of your growing fetus. If you're suffering from back and shoulder problems, you might be interested in getting a chiropractic ultrasound. These two ultrasounds are different but can be used safely even if you are pregnant. Milwaukee chiropractor Dr. George Lor uses ultrasound to help with soft tissue pain.

How Chiropractic Ultrasound Works

Ultrasound works by delivering sound waves deep into the tissue. These sound waves are at frequencies we cannot hear. They produce vibrations and heat to help loosen muscles, increase blood flow and relieve pain.

Conditions Ultrasound Can Treat

Ultrasound is useful for the following:

• Muscle pain
• Sprains
• Strains
• Spasms
• Arthritis
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis

Precautions

For the most part, chiropractic ultrasounds are safe during pregnancy. However, extreme heat for long periods of time can harm the fetus. Your chiropractor should direct the ultrasound away from the womb. Be sure not to use it on the front of your body, especially over the uterus. If you have back, shoulder or knee pain, you should be safe using ultrasound on those body parts. As a safety precaution, ask your obstetrician first before using chiropractic ultrasound. There may be other chiropractic options available to you to relieve pain.

Headaches

Most people think that headaches are caused by being tired, loud noise, or being stressed. These can all contribute to your headache; however, the main cause might just be tightness in your shoulders and neck. This tightness can lead to misalignment in your neck vertebrae, which can be painful.

If you suffer with headaches, you are not alone. In fact, 9 out of 10 people in the US suffer with head pain, according to the American Chiropractic Association. Headaches can be dull or throbbing and can come on once in awhile or frequently. Some can even cause nausea and debilitating pain. How do you find relief from a painful headache? Many people reach for the bottle of pills, but there is a better solution.
