Shoulder Pain That Just Won’t Quit?

If shoulder pain has crept back into your day or never really left you’re not alone. Whether it’s a dull ache when you reach for something on a high shelf or a sharp twinge lifting your bag, shoulder pain can quietly limit your life.

The good news? We now have a way to understand your shoulder pain with incredible precision helping you heal smarter, faster, and with more confidence.

A New Tool for Smarter Healing

Our team of physical therapists has taken the extra step to earn certification in musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound (MSKUS) a cutting-edge, radiation-free imaging technology that gives us a live, moving picture of what’s happening inside your shoulder.

Now available at over 30 of our locations, MSKUS allows us to identify exactly what’s causing your discomfort whether it’s:

  • Tendonitis

  • A rotator cuff strain

  • A muscle tear

  • Or another soft tissue injury

Because we can see the problem in real time, we can design a treatment plan that addresses the true cause of your pain, rather than relying solely on symptoms or guesswork.

Why You’ll Love MSKUS

We’re excited about this technology because it’s a genuine game changer for shoulder recovery. Here’s why:

  • See your shoulder in motion as we examine it, no waiting for results

  • Safe and non-invasive, no radiation, no needles, no downtime

  • Tracks your healing progress, so you can see exactly how you’re improving

  • Often covered by insurance, and typically costs about the same as a standard PT session

  • More targeted care = faster recovery so you can get back to living (and moving) comfortably

Your Recovery, Elevated

We believe in combining personal care with the best available tools. By adding MSKUS to our skillset, we’re bringing hospital-grade imaging directly to your local physical therapy clinic because your recovery deserves both expertise and convenience.

Whether you’re struggling to reach overhead, lift without pain, or simply sleep through the night without discomfort, we’re here to help you get there faster.

Ready to Move Forward?

If your shoulder has been holding you back, it’s time to take a closer look literally. Schedule your appointment today and see how diagnostic ultrasound can make your recovery clearer, quicker, and more effective.
