Number of Treatment Sessions for Ultrasound

06 Sep.,2023

 

Question

Is there a recommended number of treatments to maximize therapeutic effect? Do you have any recommendations/suggestions?

Answer

No, effectiveness should not be thought of in the number of treatments but rather the effectiveness of each individual treatment.  Thus, treating long enough, at a high enough intensity (patient reports feeling warmth), & a small enough (2-3x the size of the sound head) treatment area to increase the tissue temperature & increase the viscoelastic properties of the tissue.  I believe ultrasound should be addressed just like any other treatment, i.e. if you do not see changes in 3-4 treatment sessions, you should re-evaluate and/or select another modality.
