In addition the simultaneous application of ultrasound with electrotherapy
minimises the accommodation phenomenon normally associated with
electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerves.
The combination of ultrasound with interferential therapy appears to give
rise to less adverse treatment effects than are associated with the
combination of ultrasound with diadynamic currents or other electrical
stimulations. It has also been suggested that a greater effective treatment
depth can be achieved with an ultrasound/interferential combination.
Unlike routine interferential therapy the intensity of the electrical stimulation
in combination therapy may need to be REDUCED during treatment,
probably due to the continued effect of the ultrasound on the nerve
membrane threshold.
In summary, by combining the two treatment modalities none of the
individual effects of the treatment are lost, but the benefit is that lower
treatment intensities can be used to achieve the same results and there are
additional benefits in terms of treatment times.
