A slight tingling sensation is felt and as the body becomes accustomed to the initial settings, the intensity is raised. Many painful symptoms can be relived with the application of muscle stimulation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound provides deep heating affects to body tissue, reduces muscle spasm, increases blood flow, and increase soft tissue elasticity. Screams of sound waves are transmitted to a small volume of tissue, which causes the molecules of the tissue to vibrate. Any time cells move at high speed, heat is produced, thus producing a comfortable, calm healing process.
Hot Pack
Hot packs are used to provide heat therapy for minor muscle joint pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. They deliver superficial moist heat, improving blood flow to injured body parts, promoting delivery to nutrients, and removal of wastes. Hot packs also promote muscle relaxation and reduce edema and inflammation.
