Electrotherapy/Ultrasound Unit Indications & Contradictions

Electrotherapy Indications (for TENS, EMS, NMS, NMS Burst, Russian (RUSS), High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC), Interferential, Pre-modulated Interferential, and Microcurrent waveforms)

• Pain relief of chronic intractable pain
• Pain associated with post-traumatic or postoperative conditions
• Relaxation of muscle spasms 
• Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
• Increase local blood circulation
• Muscle re-education
• Maintaining or increasing range of motion
• Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis (do not stimulate calf muscle simultaneously)

Electrotherapy Contradictions

• This device should not be used for symptomatic pain relief unless etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has been diagnosed.
• This device should not be used on patients with demand-type cardiac pacemakers.
• This device should not be used over cancerous lesions.
• Electrode placements that apply current to the carotid sinus region (anterior neck) must be avoided
• Electrode placements that apply current transcerebrally (through the head) must be avoided
• Electrode placements that apply current transthoracically (the introduction of electrical current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmias) must be avoided
• Stimulation should not be applied over a swollen, infected, inflamed area or skin eruptions (e.g. phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.)
• Other contraindications are patients suspected of carrying serious infectious disease and/or disease where it is advisable, for general medical purposes, to suppress heat or fevers
• Safety has not been established for the use of therapeutic electrical stimulation during pregnancy

Ultrasound Indications

• Relief of pain, muscle spasms and joint contractures that may be associated with:
  1. Adhesive capsulitis
  2. Bursitis with slight calcification
  3. Myositis
  4. Soft tissue injuries
  5. Shortened tendons due to past injuries and scar tissues
  6. Ligament sprains
• Relief of sub-chronic, chronic pain and joint contractures resulting from:
  1. Capsular tightness
  2. Capsular scarring

Ultrasound Contradictions

• This device should not be used over a healing fracture
• Therapeutic ultrasound should not be applied over the pregnant or potentially pregnant uterus.
• Areas of thrombophlebitis should not be treated with therapeutic ultrasound due to the increased possibility of clotting or dislodging a thrombus.
• Tissues previously treated by deep x-ray or other radiation should not be exposed to therapeutic ultrasound.
• Ultrasonic treatment over the stellate ganglion, the spinal cord after laminectomy, subcutaneous major nerves, and the cranium should be avoided.
• This device should not be used over the gonads/testicles or to the developing fetus.
• This device should not be used over the heart
• This device should not be used on the brain.
• This device should not be used on ischemic tissues in individuals with a vascular disease where the blood supply would be unable to follow the increase in metabolic demand and tissue necrosis might result.
• This device should not be used over or applied to the eyes.
• This device should not be used on the facial sinus as this exposes the eyes to the same hazards.
