What is the difference between continuous and pulsed therapeutic ultrasound?

Continuous ultrasound delivers uninterrupted energy and increases tissue heating; pulsed ultrasound is intermittent, reducing thermal effects.

When is continuous ultrasound recommended?

Continuous beams are recommended for chronic complaints where deeper heating and more energy are beneficial.

When should pulsed ultrasound be used?

Pulsed ultrasound is more appropriate for fresh or acute injuries that are sensitive to high energy, due to its breaks and lower thermal load.

Where can I watch more about therapeutic ultrasound?

Continuous and Pulsed Ultrasound

The therapeutic ultrasound beam can be continuous or pulsed (intermittent). The continuous beam contains a lot of energy, which is excellent for chronic complaints. Fresh injuries are generally more sensitive to high energy, so in acute cases pulsed (with short breaks) ultrasound treatment is more appropriate. I discuss this in the fifth part of my video series about therapeutic ultrasound treatment.
