Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hello! Our clinic stands behind the mentality that ultrasound should not be used with patient's that have a past medical history of cancer. Recently, we have had some physicians " demanding " that we perform the ultrasound treatment. This situation puts our therapists in an awkward position ethically as it goes against what we are taught. Our Physical Agents book, by , states Ultrasound is contraindicated with the statement being " cancer may metastasize due to the increased blood flow. " I am unable to find information supporting either standpoint of against or for. Does anyone have any information supporting either standpoint? Thanks!
