📢 New Research to Clinical Practice June Issue: LONG DURATION ULTRASOUND 📡💙

Long duration ultrasound is changing the way clinicians approach pain management and musculoskeletal injury care. Recent advancements in wearable ultrasound technology are allowing patients to receive extended treatment with greater precision and convenience than traditional therapeutic ultrasound.

This month’s RTCP explores the science and clinical applications of long duration ultrasound, including sustained acoustic medicine (SAM).

Inside the June issue, you’ll learn:
🔹 How long duration ultrasound differs from traditional therapeutic ultrasound
🔹 The role of wearable ultrasound devices in delivering extended treatment
🔹 Why proper dosing is critical for safe and effective outcomes
🔹 Conditions that may benefit, including back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and musculoskeletal injuries
🔹 How treatment may support pain reduction, improved function, and faster return-to-play

🎓 Explore emerging treatment options and the latest evidence supporting long duration ultrasound in clinical practice.

Thank you to our sponsor, ZetrOZ and SAM! 💙
