Your way of explanation is much better than my professor, thank you so much

[@andreapeiffer3410]

Thank you for such a clear explanation! I have been searching for good instructional information on these types of modalities for so long. I'm so happy to have found your channel.

[@Sherribrowncoaching]

Your videos are GOLD!!!! Cannot tell you how much (DPT students like myself) appreciate the way you break confusing concepts down in a digestible way that actually makes sense! 💞 Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@beardseiibeard2812]

I have this unit and was wondering if ultrasound therapy helps with lymphatic drainage perhaps on the High setting (least penetrating depth) ?

[@bull5919]

what unit is it exactly?

[@SN-yf3uh]

Excellent

My machine only lists pulses by number of pulses per second, ie 1:1, 1:3 up to 1:16. Which of these would roughly equate to a 20% cycle? Thanks

[@BJPalmerDC]

1:5

[@lutador13]

Can you reference any studies that show ultrasound therapy works? I just watched another video referencing 3 studies that sham ultrasound (machine was off) had the same results.

[@nbagoats4819]

can this remove lesions in the skin?

Thank youuu

[@laluna5548]

How does non-thermal US help tissue healing exactly?

[@JonnoJones]

Hi Kevin, Thank you for the explanation and demonstration that I was looking for, it has helped me immensely, would you recommend manual massage before applying the Ultra Sound treatment or after? Thank you in advance.

[@CatalystUniversity]

Before or after probably doesn't matter, I would just make sure to combine with exercises targeting the affected tissue that you just did US on.

[@SONU-fq2gv]

Is this used for shoulder impingement ( I made sure using hawkin Kennedy test ) or is my therapist ripping me off😕?

[@fishlife7073]

Hawkins Kennedy test is just to check if you have shoulder impingement ,here he is explaining the treatment part of ultrasound(US) plus US is not that effective in impingement if that makes you feel little better. Good luck !

[@SONU-fq2gv]

@@fishlife7073 so he was ripping off😬😬..do you know which doctor I should consult for curing this impingement??most of the doctors just gave me painkillers.

[@stephenswallow7654]

Question: has ultrasound treatment been proven to help anckle tendinitis ?

[@dontatme7]

The risk outweighs the potential benefit, it is too easy to cause internal overheating of muscles tissues which results in permanent scarring and pain

[@user-qm1qy7wd3m]

Thanks for a video! BTW what means ERA?Thanks

[@jflsdknf]

But what really is the difference between warming up your muscle with a compress vs warming it up with ultrasound? Does ultrasound work any better than just regular heat? Sounds like a fancy way to make them seem like they're doing something special and charge you for it.

[@reinaamandagodoy5043]

No entiendo nada.SOLO ESPAÑOL.POR FAVOR TRADUCIR.

[@bull5919]

you wasn't listening a regular non infrared can not penetrate that deep just fact....thats the difference penetration and the wave will create heat within the muscle fibers vs compression that can not

[@jenny-DD]

You are not a Medical trained person - u should not do this its outside your scope of practice

[@fishlife7073]

I always have doubt under thermal effects ,for superficial structures ,frequency 3mhz is fine but how intensity 0.5 is consider to bring thermal effect, isn't intensity under 1 is considered non thermal? Thank you in advance

[@092481vmp]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@zahrarh2446]

Thank youuu so much. This is the first time i actually understand this since i took it in college 🙈😅🌚🤦‍♀️💙

[@ABSallah1]

Great video. This is a nice review but would of enjoyed if precautions contra were included

[@priyajha911]

Very thankful video lecture sir.....sir you have explained the parameters of therapeutic ultrasound according to superficial and deep structure....is there parameters for an acute and chronic conditions?

[@kusangdorjee5990]

for acute use 3 MH and for chronic pain use 1 MH

[@dougferguson5581]

Would this be good for arthritic pain? Joints

[@randygreen007]

I’ve found newer research stating that this therapy indeed helps with arthritis. That’s why I’m watching it to hopefully better understand it’s use.

[@physiophilicpk642]

I just wanna say..Thank you very much for this:)

[@sharynloshakoff5404]

This sounds a little like the TENS units that send electric waves to sore or misaligned muscles.

[@cheekybastard99]

It's very different. This is sending thermal energy through sound vibration. Tens sends energy which stimulates nerves to respond.

[@velak4520]

Thank you for this video, i have a question tho, can the ultrasound head get warm? Since its transmitting deep heat? Could the patient feel it?

[@newellzelarayan9117]

This reply is obviously late but I decided to answer because of how important it is. Yes, the US head can and does get warm if you are using thermal settings. That is why its important to move the sound head around. The patient does feel the warmth when the settings are high. If the sound head isn't moved around you can literally burn the patient. It does not happen often but there are lawsuit regarding burns and modalities such as US and ESTIM. So be very careful! I am obviously not the user who made this video but I am a OTR/L and use these modalities everyday.

[@sce371]

1. When we design the machine, we add a warming function, to avoid the patient startup cold touch.(optional)... 2. Have good contact with the body, the gill will disipate the excissive heat. But, the machine will check the contact area and also measures the actual temperature of the US head, then it reduces the intensity (and even stops the therapy procedure) according.

[@gaylecheung3087]

Awesome awesome presentation demonstration now which device should I get thank you very much for sharing ♥️🇨🇦🌏

[@trangmi7521]

My teacher gave me graphs that we can check the intensity base on how much heat we need and what period of that hurts is (acute, subacute, chronic). From your example, the patient has tigtness muscle, as i known it is trigger points, i need heat up to 2-3°C, then i look up my graph, the intensity is between 0,75-1 W/cm2 for 5 mins treatment. Its kinda different from your lecture and i'm pretty confused. Please give me some advises. Thank you.

[@fishlife7073]

Can you share that graph please . Thank you 🙏
