Physio ultrasound in early pregnancy

[KinderWild]

Hi all - I hurt my ankle badly and went to see my physio today. She did ultrasound on my ankle assuring me it was safe in pregnancy. I have since come home and Googled () and found that it should not be used in pregnancy.
I am hoping that because it is in my ankle it shouldn't have reached the fetus - I am only 6 weeks pregnant. Has anyone else had physio ultrasound in early pregnancy and can give me any advice/ reassurance?

Ultrasound? As in the same machine used at 12 and 20 (plus multiple other) week pregnancy scans???

It’s safe, don’t worry. The physio scanning isn’t different from pregnancy scanning because I think it’s designed to slightly increase the temperature in tissue (I could be wrong!) which is not safe for baby. BUT the effect is only where the beam is directed - Ie your ankle. There will be no efffct on baby whatsoever.

That should say physio scanning is different, typo

Thanks @TenThousandSpoons0 and sorry for delayed response. I lost the thread
Your response is really reassuring. I'll give up worrying! X
