Vanessa,
Don't know about that?! However, U/S has been shown to affect fibroblastic
activity and hence excessive doses could ultimately lead to excessive
deposition of collagen - not too good for the patellar or Achilles Tendon. I
think if you search on authors Dyson, Pond or journal 'Ultrasound in
Medicine and Biology' you'll find this.
