Article is in category:Energy therapies which appears to include (only) "alternative" med. Wondering if this article really belongs there.

Why is there no talk about the efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound treatments? There is absolutely no evidence that therapeutic ultrasound is any more effective than placebo treatments, yet there is no mention of it on this page. This treatment seems to be nothing more than pseudoscience, and BELONGS in alternative medicine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.131.81.168 (talk) 19:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with above. I work in the medical field and most of these studies have thready evidence to advocate FOR u/s use. I wouldn't be questioning this science if there was ANY evidence listed that backed it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.243.237 (talk) 23:54, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Need clarity on effective of use in physical therapy

I came to this article to learn about therapeutic ultrasound, specifically as used in physical therapy. My physical therapist's assistant told me that it "draws white blood cells to the area". First, does it do that? Second, what benefit is there to that? (referring to a joint being worked on to improve range of motion, diminished by a soft tissue tear). I suspect it's bunk, but the evidence on all sides should be weighed objectively. 24.57.218.21 (talk) 21:42, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
