Ultrasound modality helps minimize neck muscle pain by creating deep heating in the ligaments decreasing the recovery period.
High frequency sound waves move through a hand held wand called a transducer. When the electrons transmit through the crystal in the hand held applicator the current is transformed into high frequency sound waves. The sonic waves require a water based gel for the movement of the sound waves to penetrate into the injured tissue.
The high frequency of the sound waves stimulate the injured tissue to move creating what is called kinetic energy. As the cells move this raises a moderate heating effect with the irritated neck anatomy.
The deep heat of high frequency sound waves helps to increase circulation and blood flow which increases the healing of the neck muscles and tendons.
The mild heat of ultrasound treatment also increase the elasticity of the muscles and nerves which aid the ability to move the neck and shoulders.
The application of high frequency sound waves can also aid in pushing out the fluid reducing swelling. With the waves set to a modulated setting the sound waves pulse into the damaged anatomy stimulating a pumping movement with the anatomy of the neck and shoulders.
Applying sound waves for the rehabilitation of neck pain helps to diminish neck muscle pain, reduce the healing time and decrease muscle irritation.
If the ultrasound settings are on a pulsed mode the therapy can help eliminate swelling and inflammation of the injured neck tissue.
High frequency sound waves for the treatment of neck pain is generally considered very safe and effective. Some considerations on why you may not be a candidate for ultrasound therapy for neck pain relief are: pregnancy, diabetes, cancer, infection, tumor. Most of the population suffering from neck pain do not have any of these contraindications.
