• Clinical diagnosis

Only a correct and accurate diagnosis enables an adapted treatment.
Good anatomical and physiological knowledges are necessary.
 

Protocols setting:
Power (Watts) multiplied by exposure time (Seconds) sets total energy quantity distributed (Joules).
The highest the power is the shortest the treatment time should be.
P(Watt) X Time (Seconds) = Energy (Joules)
High power = Short treatment

There are limits to use a high power (e.g. dark coat)
The total amount of emitted energy is not necessarily the amount of energy received by the target
anatomical part.

Protocols are developed to take into account, among others, the following factors:
• Vital power to penetrate the area to be treated.
• Power not to exceed to avoid collateral problems.
• Exposure time adapted to the selected power to deliver the amount of required energy at the level of the targeted anatomically part for the determined area.
(Depth of lesion causes energy losses. Therefore, the total amount of emitted energy must increase depending on the depth of the lesion and tissues density).

Why does each protocol incorporate continuous and pulsed phases of variable frequencies?
The different tissues composing the target anatomical parts respond differently depending on the frequencies used. By systematically using continuous phases and different frequencies, it is more likely to bring the required energy to the various tissue components in a suitable manner. 

 

• Treatment application

Always work from proximal to distal to allow the evacuation of the fluxes generated by the vasodilatation.

Application:
The application must be made as closest and as much perpendicularly as possible of the area to be treated.

Continuous movement avoids overheating of the target zone.
Working on the skin, hair restricts penetration.
Always control the temperature of the treated area by touching this area from time to time.
Protocols choice: When we hesitate between 2 different protocols, always choose the less powerful to start the treatment.
Too much power can generate pain.

Acute or chronic: how to treat properly:
The treatment of an acute problem should be done with a lower power and a higher frequency than the treatment of a chronic problem.

Osteopathy, massage and laser treatments:

All these techniques allowing mobilization of the joints or tissues concerned by the treatment can improve its effectiveness, if these actions are not contraindicated.
