Soft Tissue Recovery vs.
Scar Tissue Rehabilitation

"I am praying for change ! My body is failing apart ... neck pain shoulder pain .... wrist lower back ...... I am only 41 years old I have no idea how I will make it retirement"

"I have been a sonographer for 16 years. I have neck issues and musculoskeletal injuries usually in neck, shoulders and lower back. This is with using the safest ergonomics. Capping the caseload would help to preserve our sonographers and less time out for injury. I also have carpal tunnel in both wrists."

"My spine has been permanently damaged from forty years of ultrasound, pushing machines, etc. For echocardiography, they keep trying to increase the patient load numbers supposedly to “break even” on the costs of sonographers and equipment but it is at the cost of permanent injuries to many of us."

"This is so important for the health of the technologists in our field. We are continuing having to do more scans in a shorter amount of time in order to “keep our numbers up”. This however is not good for the staff or the patient."

"I scan in pain every day. Going to physical therapy currently but unfortunately there's no way to stop the pain with repetitive movements performed everyday scanning that reaggravate the injuries. It's a vicious cycle. Thank you for creating this petition."
