COMBINATION ULTRASOUND - ELECTROTHERAPY
Introduction
Combination therapy with Ultrasound and Electrotherapy has been used for the treatment of pain, muscle spasm and
to increase local circulation. The treatment of trigger points with a combination of electrotherapy and sub-thermal or
thermal ultrasound is an effective technique in acute and chronic pain management, which simultaneously relieves
muscle spasm. For POST TRAUMATIC - POST SURGICAL, ACUTE pain and INCREASE LOCAL
CIRCULATION, it is generally applied as a combination of sub-thermal ultrasound with HVPC currents or PREMOD
sensory. For more chronic pain conditions or muscle spasms, it is generally applied as thermal US with PREMOD
motor stimulation.
Combination Therapy Application Technique
The OmniVersa system has built in protocols for the combination of ultrasound and electrotherapy.
1. Prior to starting treatment, cleanse and inspect the US Transducer applicator head for cracks, which may
allow the ingress of conductive fluid; Inspect the treatment head cables and associated connectors; The user
should handle the US transducer applicator head with care at all times, since rough handling may adversely
affect its characteristics
2. Determine the appropriate indication or electrotherapy waveform (Manual mode) best suited to treat the
patient’s specific condition.
3. Select size of electrode, making certain that the electrode chosen is larger than the transducer head size.
Attach the self-adhesive electrode to the patient’s body.
4. Using the positive wire on Channel B of the OmniVersa connect the Combination Therapy single lead wire
positive (red) tip pin into the unit and the other end into the electrode. This will allow the ultrasound applicator
to remain as the active electrode.
5. From the user interface “Home screen”, choose Combination Therapy and select either Manual Operation or
the appropriate Indication or Favorites protocol.
6. Select desired electrotherapy protocol or waveform (either PREMOD or HVPC).
7. Apply a liberal amount of conductive gel to the patient’s body and place the transducer on the target tissue
and keep the sound head in motion.
8.
From the ultrasound screen set the appropriate treatment parameters and intensity level.
