Not wanting to undermine the research or make you believe that I never thought ultrsaound worked as we listened to our EPA 252 lectures, rather, I just hadn't realised the scope of its use.
For the first time last week I ultrasounded a ladies haemmarhoids that had developed as a result of labour. The patient had tried everything under the sun to manage them, but it was only on a friends advice that she decided to try ultrasound treatment.
The result was remarkable. The gel is quite soothing to the skin, but to my amazement the haemmarhoids softened and literally shrivelled with 10 minutes of treatment to 1/2 to 2/3 of their original size. The results were maintained overnight and on treatment the next day we managed to shrink them again.
Yes, Danielle, I am now a believer, it works!

Hi Lisa,
It certainly sounds like your prac is very interesting. It's really good to see such a visible result with the use of ultrasound, it gives us all a bit of a better feeling when we're applying it to a pt and you're not sure if it is actually going to work. Hopefully we will all be able to see some visible and obvious benefits when we use it.
Hi Lisa
Good to see that you do your assessment post treatment and back up your treatment with evidence. Thanks for letting us know about the good result of US. Keep up with your good assessment skill.
