Even with a doctor's prescription, it is imperative that you have a clear understanding of the proper use of ultrasound. Request specific instructions from your health care provider.

Undiagnosed pain of any type, cancer, active tuberculosis, over an area of infection, over an area of decreased circulation, during pregnancy, over central nervous system tissue like brain or spinal cord, over joint cement from surgery, with pacemakers, over plastic or metal implants, with thrombophlebitis, in cases of bleeding, in persons taking coumadin or other blood thinning medications, over eyes, reproductive organs or heart. Also do not use in cases of acute inflammation.
Excluding the above, Ultrasound may be used over bones or joints as long as it is in the pulsed mode, at low intensity and as long as the ultrasound head is constantly moving.
DANGER: Keeping the ultrasound head stationary during use may burn the covering of bones and damage internal organs.
