AB  - Therapeutic  ultrasound  is  presented  in  this  section  rather  than  in  the  thermal  agents  section  for  two  reasons:  (1)  it  is  an  acoustical  modality  that  uses  mechanical  energy  rather  than  an  electromagnetic  or  infrared  modality  and  (2)  it  is  a  deep-heating  agent.  In  addition,  ultrasound  is  capable  of  producing  mechanical,  nonthermal  effects  in  addition  to  its  thermal  effects.  Also  refer  to  the  basic  physiological  responses  to  heat  described  in  Chapter  5.
