OVERVIEW
ABOUT Diagnostic Ultrasound
At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, diagnostic ultrasound is used when pain does not behave in a straightforward way. You may feel fine most of the day, then notice pain during one specific motion. A quad tightens only when climbing stairs. A shoulder feels fine until you reach into the back seat. An Achilles starts aching halfway through a walk, then settles again. These patterns can be frustrating because nothing shows up when the body is still. Diagnostic ultrasound lets us look at tissue while it is working. We can see what changes when movement begins and why symptoms show up at that moment. That real-time view often brings clarity where older scans or resting exams fall short.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
If diagnostic ultrasound sounds like it may help, starting the process is simple. You can call Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, or send a request online. Our team will talk through your symptoms, explain whether ultrasound makes sense, and outline what the visit will look like before you come in.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Ultrasound is often used early when answers are needed to guide care. In other cases, it is added later to check how tissue is responding once treatment is underway. The timing depends on what questions still need answers.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
Ultrasound allows us to watch soft tissue react in real time. We can see how a muscle fires, how a tendon glides, or how a joint responds during the exact movement that causes discomfort. This matters when pain only appears during use and disappears at rest.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
When we know what tissue is involved, treatment becomes clearer. Physical therapy plans can focus on the right structure instead of spreading attention too wide.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Ultrasound may be used again to check change over time. Tissue often starts behaving differently before pain fully improves. Seeing those shifts helps guide when to progress activity and when to slow things down.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

What Are You Experiencing?
You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions
Why would someone need diagnostic ultrasound instead of another scan?
Because pain does not always show up when the body is still. Ultrasound helps when symptoms only appear during movement and other imaging does not explain why.
Can ultrasound look at more than one area in a visit?
Yes. If symptoms shift or involve nearby structures, multiple areas can be examined during the same session. This helps understand how tissues interact.
Does ultrasound tell you exactly what is wrong?
It provides strong clues. Combined with movement testing, it helps narrow the source of symptoms and rule out other causes.
Is ultrasound useful after treatment has already started?
Often it is. It can show whether tissue is responding, staying irritated, or changing in a way that affects next steps.
What changes after ultrasound is used?
Care usually becomes more focused. Exercises make more sense. Activity limits feel clearer. People often feel more confident once they understand what is actually happening.
