What does the acronym RICE stand for and what modality that I talked about is used to carry out this principle?
Rest ice compression elevation, Game Ready

When would you use a 1 MHz wavelength compared to a 3 MHz wavelength during an ultrasound treatment and vice versa?

What is the main symptom/goal you are trying to help/achieve when using each type of ESTIM setting I talked about?
TENS -> Pain Relief/Management
