All About Neck Pain
- Many people experience neck pain or stiffness from injury, overuse, or inflammation. The neck consists of seven interlocking bones (vertebrae), separated by disks, that enable movement and stability.
- The neck is less protected than the rest of the spine. For this reason, it may be more prone to injury or conditions that cause pain.
- The most common types of neck ailments and their causes are:
- Muscle Strain
- Straining the neck muscles can cause soreness in the area. This soreness might present as an aching or throbbing pain. It can also cause a sharp pain, especially when moving the head.
- Muscle strain can occur as a result of:
- having bad posture
- sleeping in a position without good neck support
- sitting at a desk or computer for too long.
- Disc degeneration
- Neck discs can degenerate due to disease or from injury causing painful neck joints
- Muscle Strain
- Injury
- The neck is flexible and constantly supporting the head. This makes it particularly susceptible to injury.
- Damage or injury to a muscle or ligament causes neck pain.
- Examples of possible neck injury causes include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Impact sports, such as football
- Slip and falls
- Diving
- Weightlifting
- Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis can affect the neck. Arthritis in the neck bones and joints can cause reduction in range of motion and pain when sitting and lying down.
- Sometimes the causes are more serious and should be checked out by a doctor.
Treatment
There are many ways to ease neck pain at home, including:
-
- taking over-the-counter pain relief medication, such as acetaminophen (also called Tylenol)
- placing warm or cold packs on the neck to reduce pain symptoms
- avoiding contact sports and heavy lifting
- avoiding contact sports and heavy lifting
- seeing a physical therapist
- doing gentle neck stretches
- keeping good posture
- engaging in light exercises, such as yoga
- using supportive neck pillows for sleep
You've come to the right place.
- Ultrasound is a great choice to treat neck pain and has been used in clinics for decades.
- Ultrasonic sound waves are pulsed into the affected and inflamed tissues at a million vibrations per second.
- The sound waves penetrate the skin and surface layers causing the soft tissue to vibrate. This produces increased blood flow to the area to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation and thereby relieve pain.
- Increased blood flow also delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, removes cell waste and aids healing. Regular ultrasound therapy on your neck injury or strain relieves pain and speeds the healing process.
- Ultrasound is a drug free and proven modality.
How to use your Sonic Relief to treat Neck Pain:
- Apply a quarter size dollop of ultrasound gel over the area of pain (palpate or push your fingers into the neck area to find the area of pain).
- Turn on the Sonic Relief device to the “high” setting.
- Apply the sound head directly over the gel and move slowly in a small circular motion no wider than 3 – 4 inches.
- Add more gel if the gel begins to dry out.
- Sonic Relief will shut off after 10 minutes at which time the treatment is complete.
- Wipe the gel from skin and the sound head with a soft cloth or paper towel.
- You may treat multiple areas one after the other – ie, front of elbow followed by back of elbow, and left side, right side as needed.
- Put the Sonic Relief back in the charger to be ready anytime you need it for neck pain or any other soft tissue pain or injury.
- Treat each area up to 3 times per day for 2 weeks. Then treat as needed.
Good idea: keep your Sonic Relief by your bedside. Do your treatment before you go to sleep for a chance at a pain free night. Then first thing in the morning to start the day off right. Then try to get a 3rd treatment in during the day – either before or after an activity that generally exacerbates your pain (working on computer or driving).
Best investment made.
I have been using the Sonic Relief for about 3 weeks now. In the first week it has done miracles for my neck and elbows. BEST INVESTMENT MADE. Just received my bill from physical therapy and it was $1650 American dollars for 12 visits for my elbows. I showed the therapist the machine and he stated it is the exact same thing they were using (same concept). Once again THANKS
