Decrease Chronic Pain and Muscle Tone-Spasm - Increase Local Circulation
This protocol uses a 2
o
C temperature increase to increase the tissue metabolic rate and provide moderate
heating. It is used to increase circulation in chronic cases to provide absorption of chronic inflammatory
components for pain management and chronic muscle tone and spasm. Temperature can be increased to4
o
C
for superficial tissue.

Decrease Joint Stiffness-Contracture
Heating followed immediately by stretch has been demonstrated to create an increase in the elongation of
collagen tissues. A 2-4
o
T change is capable of providing a temperature in tissue capable of reaching the
viscoelastic temperature of collagen. It is important to note that the stretch window with ultrasound is
approximately 5 minutes, so stretching must begin as the treatment starts. The patient should feel warmth
from the US field.
