What could cause metatarsal pain during ultrasound therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sonic Boom.: Using ultra sound, in the therapeutic frequency range, could elicit pain in the metatarsal if the metatarsal has a stress fracture. The frequency cannot be in the imaging range for this phenomena to work.
