Course Description:

It is suggested that therapeutic ultrasound can produce thermal and non-thermal biophysical effects, which are thought to improve pain, tissue extensibility, and tissue healing, among other effects. In this course, physical and occupational therapy professionals will learn the current evidence for ultrasound and if, or when, it is indicated. The purpose and application for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries are discussed using clinical examples.

The goal of this course is to provide physical and occupational therapy professionals with an overview of evidence-based uses of ultrasound.
