I had some shoulder pain and the physio mentioned ultrasound therapy for it. But now im pregnant (2nd trimester) and bit unsure if that kind of therapy is okay. Different from normal scan na? Wanted to confirm before going.
Haan, regular scanning wala ultrasound toh bilkul safe hai, but therapy wala ultrasound heat generate karta hai jo baby ke liye safe nahi hai. My gynac also told me to avoid any such machines on the back during those nine months. Aap doctor se pooch kar hi kuch karo na.
Dear, diagnostic ultrasound is perfectly safe and necessary, but therapeutic ultrasound for muscle pain should be avoided over your lower back or tummy. It can cause deep tissue heating which isn't good for the baby. Please speak to your gynaecologist before starting any physical therapy.
Please make sure you don't confuse diagnostic ultrasound scans (which are 100% safe to see the baby) with ultrasound physical therapy. Therapeutic ultrasound uses deep heat to treat pain and is generally avoided on the back or abdomen during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor to see if it's safe for your specific issue.
As someone who loves staying active, I had back pain during my pregnancy, but my doctor strictly told me to avoid ultrasound physiotherapy. Instead, she allowed me to do gentle prenatal yoga and basic stretching under supervision. Always consult your gynac before trying any such therapies.
Whoa, hold on! If you mean the regular ultrasound to take pictures of your little boss inside, that is totally safe. But if you mean the heating therapy for muscle pain, that's a different story and usually a big no-no near the belly. Ask your doc before you let anyone zap you!
My back is absolutely killing me in this 3rd trimester, so I totally feel your pain! But when I asked my therapist about ultrasound pain therapy, they said it's not safe near the baby because of the heat it produces. Better to stick to warm water compresses or a safe massage after asking your doctor.
I totally understand how hard it is to deal with body aches when you are already going through so much during pregnancy. But please be very careful with therapeutic ultrasound as the heat waves might not be safe for your little miracle. Do ask your doctor for safer ways to get relief, sweetie.
Dealing with body pain along with severe morning sickness made me desperate for any therapy, but my doctor warned me that ultrasound therapy on the lower body is contraindicated. They suggested a simple warm bath or prenatal massage instead. Definitely double check with your doctor first.
