I'm supposed to start ultrasound treatments for my sore joints. Is this the same kind of ultrasound that doctors use to look at hearts?
Ultrasound can be used both for treatments and for imaging. Diagnostic ultrasound uses higher frequencies that bounce of the underlying structure and can be viewed as an image. Therapeutic ultrasound uses much lower frequencies.
