Hi



Absolut 3 is an herbal compound, the efficacy of which is not clinically proven. Escitalopram belongs to SSRI group of drugs used in the treatment of Depression. So, I do not think both these are the right treatment for neck pain.



Yes, ultrasonic massage is one of the treatment modalities for neck pain and is right.



Get well soon.



Regards,

Dr. Shanthi
