Ultrasound Safety Information
 
  • Never use any ultrasound unit for treatment without using ultrasound conductive gel.
  • Never clean your ultrasound unit with water or submerge it under water.
  • Never use ultrasound on children under the age of 16 without the recommendation/supervision of a physician or therapist.

The use of ultrasound is NOT recommended:

  • Over areas that have had cortisone injections in the last 30 days
  • Over organs (stomach, liver, lungs, spleen, bowels, heart, kidneys)
  • Over the pelvis, abdomen and lumbar (lower back) region in pregnant or potentially pregnant females.
  • Over highly ultrasound-sensitive organs (eyes, ears, ovaries, testicles, brain, spinal cord)
  • Over mucous membranes (mouth, nose, rectum/anus, vagina)
  • On patients with pace-makers on patients with phlebitis, deep venous thromboses
  • On patients with hemophilia
  • On patients with spina bifida or surgical laminectomies of the spine
  • For 6 months after treatment with radioactive dyes
  • On tissue and/or bone with active infection
  • Over areas suspected to be cancerous or pre-cancerous
  • Over de-sensitized (numb, hypoesthesia) areas of the skin (e.g. diabetic neuropathy)
  • Over open sores or lesions
  • In the front of the upper neck (thyroid region)

We recommend you consult a physician before using any medical device.


What if Therapeutic Ultrasound is not safe for me?

The Answer...Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy

The end results of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy are very much the same results that you would get with ultrasound. Furthermore, it can be used in many situations where therapeutic ultrasound cannot. For instance, there are no issues with using Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy over implants, and it is also safe for treatment on patients with pacemakers whereas ultrasound treatment is not a good idea.

Tissues are safely and gently stimulated increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body's natural response to this increased stimulation is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis.

The principle of Homeostasis refers to the body's natural reaction to maintain, a stable internal environment through the body's coordinated responses of the organ systems that automatically compensate for environmental changes.

Exposure of the body to Blood Flow Stimulation creates an environmental change (absorption of energy and conversion to heat) which accelerates the body's homeostatic response. These natural responses include, among other things, circulation enhancement through vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels, increased oxygenation and toxin removal from tissue.

The benefits of combining Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy with therapeutic ultrasound are spectacular - this combination is truly a smart choice for anyone wanting to recover from pain and injury as fast and as safe as possible!

Additional Benefits of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy - "Super Relaxation of Muscles"

Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy penetrates below the surface of the skin and is absorbed by target tissue. The energy releases a free radical molecule called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes relaxation in smooth muscle cells allowing for increased circulation, promoting cell division and proliferation, collagen synthesis, collagen fibril alignment, and angiogenesis. The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy treatment begins the release of nitric oxide, and subsequent treatments build on the physiologic and biochemical changes. Since new blood vessels progressively develop, pain is relieved, toxins in the tissues are removed and injured tissue heals.

While proven to increase circulation and provide pain relief, recent clinical studies suggest that Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy treatments also ease the symptoms and reduce the risk of many conditions caused by poor circulation such as pain and numbness, chronic wounds, and other musculoskeletal injuries.


Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy Safety Information

When Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy Should Not Be Used:

  • Pregnancy
  • Adrenal Suppression
  • Hemophilia

Consult your health care professional before using Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy if you have any of the following:

  • Malignancy (including skin lesions)
  • Circulatory diseases
  • Using prescription drugs
  • Recent acute joint injury
  • Chronically hot or swollen joint
  • Implanted silicone or silicone prostheses
  • Metal implants

We recommend you consult a physician before using any medical device.
