i am writing this article to explain a new conceptual application of the ultrasound based on the work of oschmann author of energy medicine. the ultrasound is used to stimulate lesions along the meridian channel and clear these lesions. the lesion is a localised inflammatory area that may range from an acute neural response to a fibrotic build up.
the area of interest eg the arm, is assessed for limitations into a direction, the direction will indicate which meridian channel may be contributing to the dysfuction see article about fascial manipulation for further information. then palpation will identify localised lesions along the meridan of interest.
the ultrasound is then used to stimulate the localised spot.
the continuum of signs and symptoms are as follows:
the patient will report a hot spot
bruised sensation
buzzing or vibration
needle like sensation ranging froma fine needle on lower intensities to a large needle for higher intensities
a toothache sensation
also the lesion can be stimulated to refer pain
these sensation can be elicited from any frequency
i start with low frequency then in a step wise fashion increase the frequency until it elicits a response.
i have found that most symptoms can be elicited between 1.2 watts cm squared to 3 watts cm squared
if no symptoms are elicited move on to the next most likely spot based on fascial manipulation
this ultrrasound technique takes inot account that it is only viable for soft tissue conditions. it proposes that it can be used diagnositically and direct treatment.
this work is in its infancy so any questions would be apreciated.
