Nerve & Soft Tissue Conditions

Nerve and soft-tissue issues can cause sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or persistent tension that interferes with your daily life. These conditions often develop from irritation, compression, inflammation, or overuse—and they require careful assessment to understand what’s truly going on.

How We Help

Your therapist identifies irritated or compressed structures and evaluates how your posture, movement habits, or muscle imbalances may be contributing. Your treatment plan may focus on:

  • Reducing tension or compression around nerves
  • Improving mobility and flexibility
  • Strengthening muscles that support proper movement
  • Calming inflammation and improving tissue healing
  • Guiding you toward safe activity and long-term symptom control

Our goal is to help you feel better, move more freely, and regain confidence in your body again.

1

A Warm, Welcoming First Visit

You’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team and guided through a simple check-in process. Your therapist will review your medical history and talk with you about your pain, injury, and goals.
2

Comprehensive Evaluation

Before using ultrasound, your therapist will perform a hands-on exam - checking movement, strength, and specific tests—to understand your symptoms. This helps determine where ultrasound imaging will be most helpful.
3

Imaging Session

A small amount of gel is applied to your skin, and a handheld probe (transducer) is moved gently over the area being examined. You may see the images on the screen as your therapist looks at your muscles, tendons, and joints in real time. The test is painless and typically takes just a few minutes per area.
4

Review of Findings

Right away, your therapist will discuss what they see on the ultrasound images - such as inflammation, irritation, or tissue changes - and how this relates to your symptoms. You’ll have time to ask questions and understand your results.
5

Personalized Plan & Ongoing Guidance

Your ultrasound findings are combined with your physical exam to create or refine your treatment plan. We’ll outline next steps—such as specific exercises, manual therapy, activity modifications, or follow-up imaging - to help you heal effectively and get back to the activities you enjoy.
At Farmington Physical Therapy, your health is personal. Our team is here to help you move with confidence, recover with purpose, and live life to the fullest.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, develop a personalized plan, and walk with you every step of the way toward recovery.
