## Abstract Spontaneous herniated disc resorption occurs via inflammatory reactions involving abundant neovascularization and macrophage phagocytotic activity. Nonthermal lowβintensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment might be effective in shortening the duration of disc resorption. We developed

## Abstract Recent studies have reported that lowβintensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulates cell proliferation and proteoglycan production in rabbit intervertebral disc cells, and moreover promotes the secretion of MCPβ1 (monocyte chemotaxis proteinβ1) from macrophages in a disc organ culture
## Abstract In this study, the effect of lowβintensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on cartilage was evaluated in a rat osteoarthritis (OA) model using serum biomarkers such as CTXβII (type II collagen degradation) and CPII (type II collagen synthesis) as well as histological criteria (Mankin score an
