A Pilot Study to Investigate Non-Invasive Metabolic Guidance for Improving Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatment of Lower Back Muscle Injuries

Back injuries are the most common reason people seeking for effective treatment. One of the
most common treatments in sports medicine for muscular injuries is therapeutic ultrasound,
which is designed to heat the injured tissue and increase the flow of blood to promote
healing.

Researchers at Beckman Laser institute, using a technology developed at University of
California, Irvine. The device call Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy, this device developed with
harmless light that can measures and detect the change of blood flow, oxygen level,
temperature and muscle tissue in lower back during therapeutic ultrasound therapy treatment.

The researchers can provide information in real-time tissue change before, during, and after
treatments that can determine the effectiveness of the treatment and speed up recovery time.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Male or Female over 18 years of age,

- No back injuries, No plan treatment

- Currently diagnose with back injuries, with plan treatment of therapeutic ultrasound

Exclusion Criteria:

- Minors

- Obese

- Pregnant
