Both modalities have their own role ultrasonic works best on tightness and tens works best on pain.
A combination of both along with hot fomentation gives best results and instant relief.But exercises are a permanent cure for muscular problems.

And next to that Tens should be applied for 12 minutes. Prescribed exercises should be started from 4th day of starting Physiotherapy Treatment which will be the permanent cure. Keep using pilow of medium thickness.This all for 7--10 days.Take Physiotherapy twice daily for 1st four days for faster relief.
