They tap the bottom of the heel, and if it causes pain in the abdomen, then the patient most likely has appendicitis. Don't know why....

I found this on phoresis...maybe heel phoresis?
Subject: I found this on phoresis...maybe heel phoresis?
Phoresis: This means to "carry or transmit." There are two methods that therapists can use to transmit substances across the skin. Phonophoresis uses the high frequency sound waves of ultrasound to "push" a steroid medication (cortisone) through the skin. Iontophoresis uses a small machine that produces a mild electrical charge, which is used to carry medicine, usually a steroid, through the skin. The steroid is a very strong anti-inflammatory medication that actually stops the pain-causing chemical reaction within the cells of the sore tissue in your body. Either type of phoresis may be used in place of a cortisone injection.
