Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between ultrasound therapy and electrical stimulation?
A: Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to generate deep heat in soft tissue, which increases blood flow and helps reduce stiffness before manual therapy or stretching. Electrical stimulation, such as TENS or NMES, uses electrical current through surface electrodes to manage pain signals or trigger muscle contractions. Many clinics use both modalities together as part of a treatment plan.
Q: How does a hydrocollator differ from a standard moist heat pack?
A: A hydrocollator is a heating unit that keeps multiple moist heat packs submerged in temperature controlled water, typically around 160 to 166 degrees Fahrenheit, so packs are ready for immediate use throughout the clinic day. A standard heat pack heated individually in a microwave cools faster and loses consistent temperature control across repeated treatments.
Q: Are TENS units safe for patients with pacemakers?
A: TENS and other electrical stimulation devices are generally not recommended for patients with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices unless a physician has specifically cleared their use. Clinics should always review a patient intake history before applying any electrotherapy modality.
Q: How often should electrode pads be replaced on TENS and EMS units?
A: Self-adhesive electrode pads typically lose conductivity after roughly 20 to 30 uses, depending on skin type and storage conditions. Replacing pads on schedule keeps stimulation consistent and reduces the risk of skin irritation from a pad that no longer adheres evenly.
Q: What is the benefit of combining paraffin baths with other therapeutic modalities?
A: Paraffin wax baths deliver moist, even heat that is especially effective for small joints in the hands and feet, helping to reduce stiffness in patients with arthritis or limited joint mobility before range of motion exercises. Clinics often use paraffin treatment as a warm up step ahead of manual therapy or stretching protocols.
