Chronic upper back pain is not as common as lower back pain. The thoracic spine, sometimes called the upper or middle back, consists of 12 vertebrae and is used mainly for stability. The lower back and neck portions of the spine are more mobile. For that reason, the upper back is less susceptible to injury than the lower back or neck.

That does not mean, though, that the pain is any less severe when an injury does occur. Sports injuries and other types of damage (such as those due to automobile accidents and strains) can cause severe muscle pain in the upper back. In addition, joint dysfunction or a herniated disc can create unbearable pain. It's necessary to treat chronic upper back pain where it originates in order to find relief.

Our therapeutic ultrasound system has been shown to provide relief to the aching muscles affected by chronic upper back pain. When used in conjunction with proper exercise and posture, many patients are finding complete resolution to the chronic pain. Our device uses a technique of pulsed ultrasound to reach deep into the muscle tissue. The vibration of the injured tissue creates heat, and the heat increases the blood flow.

When used in conjunction with our specially formulated ultrasound gel, the healing nutrients begin working on the injured tissue. If you've been diagnosed with chronic upper back pain, it may be time to bring home the benefits of proven-effective ultrasound therapy.

A Back/Hip Inferno Wrap is one of the most helpful tools for a wide varity of painful back related problems. Through the absorption of deep penetrating energy waves, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Back/Hip Inferno Wrap provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Our Cold Compression Wraps are recommended by countless medical professionals. That's why we sell them, because they are the best. We have noticed over time that our customers are so fond of our cold wraps that they are frequently coming back and ordering a second one. The wraps are becoming very popular with baseball and soccer trainers, and the wraps can be conveniently stored in a cooler for quick application on the field when needed.

If you suffer from pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using the Back/Hip Freezie Wrap and Back/Hip Inferno Wrap.
