We confirm ultrasound is the right tool for the spot.
For the knots that stretching, foam rolling, and time alone never touch: a precise release you can feel before you leave the room.
What It Is
Hands-on work can only reach so deep. Therapeutic ultrasound picks up where it stops, using mechanical energy, sound waves, to travel further into the tissue than manual pressure alone ever could.
A handheld device delivers gentle, continuous waves directly over the area. That energy generates a small amount of deep warmth and cellular activity, which is what reduces chronic pain and speeds up your tissue’s own healing process.
It’s one of the most established techniques in physical therapy, painless and well-researched. We use it to prep a stubborn area for hands-on work or exercise, or to calm it down on its own, as one piece of your larger plan.

Pairs Well With
Questions, Answered
No. Most people feel a light warmth, if anything, as the sound waves move through the area. It’s a well-established, painless technique we’ve used for decades, and it’s just one part of a session, not the whole visit.
Both use sound wave energy, but for different jobs. Ultrasound sends gentle, continuous waves to calm pain and speed healing across a general area. STEMWave delivers focused acoustic pulses aimed at one stubborn, chronic spot that hasn’t responded to anything else. Your physical therapist will tell you which one fits, or if both do.
Yes, in most cases. Ultrasound is typically billed as part of your regular physical therapy visit, not as a separate service. We verify your exact benefits before your first session, so there’s no surprise on your bill. Questions before then? Call us at (209) 207-0849.
