ekhill on 16 Oct 14This article is very technical at times, but describes therapeutic ultrasound and its use nicely. It describes thermal and nonthermal effects and which form is used when. There are different reasons to use each like pain, stretching collagen, or to increase blood flow. What was really interesting was the use of ultrasound to facilitate the delivery of medication administered on the skin. Precautions and contraindications were included.
