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.
