    2. Iontophoresis
  2. Indications
    1. Physical therapy modality to treat tendon or muscle injuries
  3. Contraindications: Locations over-which to avoid ultrasound application
    1. Breast Implants
    2. Epiphyseal plates
    3. Eyes
    4. Malignancies
    5. Pacemakers
    6. Thrombophlebitis
    7. Laminectomy sites
  4. Types
    1. Continuous ultrasound
      1. Thermal effect to warm superficial tissues
      2. Frequency of ultrasound waves effects depth of tissues effected
        1. Lower frequency waves penetrate tissues as deep as 2 inches or 5 cm
      3. Indication: Symptomatic relief in chronic injuries lasting beyond 2 weeks
    2. Pulsed ultrasound
      1. Non-thermal effect theoretically speeds tissue healing at the cellular level
      2. Indication: Potential to speed healing when applied in first few days after injury
    3. Phonophoresis
      1. Transcutaneous medication (typically Corticosteroid) delivered to tissue via ultrasound
      2. Indication: Localized inflammation of a tendon, bursa or joint
  5. Protocol: Phonophoresis
    1. Apply medication (e.g. Dexamethasone or Ketoprofen) 10% concentration in aqueous base
    2. Apply continuous ultrasound at 1-2 watts/cm
  6. Adverse Effects
    1. Burn Injury

Ultrasonic Therapy (C0041620)

Definition (MSH) The use of focused, high-frequency sound waves to produce local hyperthermia in certain diseased or injured parts of the body or to destroy the diseased tissue.
Definition (CSP) use of focused, high-frequency sound waves to produce local hyperthermia in certain diseased or injured parts of the body or to destroy the diseased tissue.
Definition (NCI) A form of therapy being studied as an anticancer treatment. Intensified ultrasound energy can be directed at cancer cells to heat them and kill them.
Definition (ALT) Using ultrasound waves on a client's body part or region to generate heat in an area for therapeutic effect(s) (for example, to relieve pain). Service is billed in 5-minute increments.
