What is a common contraindication for using Sonic ultrasound therapy?

The common contraindication for using Sonic ultrasound therapy is pregnancy. During pregnancy, there are significant anatomical and physiological changes that occur in a woman's body, making it critical to avoid any therapies that may pose risks to the developing fetus. Ultrasound therapy can produce deep heating effects in body tissues, which may not be safe for the embryo or fetus. Therefore, it is widely advised that healthcare providers refrain from using ultrasound therapy in pregnant patients to prevent potential complications.

In contrast, while high blood pressure, respiratory issues, and diabetes may require careful consideration regarding treatment plans, they do not universally preclude the use of ultrasound therapy as definitively as pregnancy does. Each of these conditions can be managed with proper precautions and adjustments, making them less critical contraindications compared to the clear risks posed by ultrasound therapy during pregnancy.
