Ultrasound Therapy in Rhode Island
Ultrasound Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues, reducing pain and promoting healing. At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we offer Ultrasound Therapy as an effective solution for patients suffering from muscle, ligament, and joint pain. This advanced therapy stimulates cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances circulation, relieving acute and chronic conditions without medication or invasive procedures.
Conditions Treated with Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy is effective for treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Accelerates healing of muscle strains, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries.
- Arthritis and Joint Pain: Reduces pain and inflammation in affected joints, improving mobility.
- Bursitis and Tendonitis: Relieves pain and promotes healing in inflamed bursae and tendons.
- Scar Tissue and Adhesions: Breaks down scar tissue and improves flexibility in the affected areas.
- Chronic Pain Conditions: Provides relief for ongoing pain and stiffness in the back, neck, shoulders, and other areas.
How Ultrasound Therapy Works
Ultrasound Therapy uses high-frequency sound waves, which a handheld device produces, to penetrate the affected tissues. These sound waves create deep heat within the tissues, improving circulation and enhancing cellular repair. The therapy also helps reduce swelling and break down scar tissue, promoting flexibility and reducing pain. Ultrasound Therapy is particularly effective because it targets deep tissue layers that are often challenging to reach through other therapies.
Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound Therapy offers several benefits for patients seeking pain relief and accelerated healing, including:
- Non-Invasive Pain Relief: Provides a safe, drug-free alternative for reducing pain and inflammation.
- Enhanced Tissue Healing: Stimulates cellular repair, leading to faster recovery in injured areas.
- Reduced Scar Tissue: Breaks down adhesions and scar tissue, improving flexibility and range of motion.
- Improved Circulation: Increases blood flow to the affected tissues, supporting healing.
What to Expect During Ultrasound Therapy
During an Ultrasound Therapy session, our chiropractor will apply a conductive gel to the treatment area and use a handheld device to deliver high-frequency sound waves. Patients typically experience a gentle warmth in the treated area, which is not only relaxing but also comfortable. Sessions typically last about 5-10 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
You’re not just another appointment on their schedule—they make you feel seen, heard, and cared for. After experiencing the level of care here, I can confidently say I will never go to another chiropractic office again. This team has set the bar incredibly high, and I’m so grateful to have found them.
