Abstract
The SAM (sustained acoustic medicine) ultrasound device is a small, portable device that delivers over 9000 Joules of energy when worn for 4 hours. This has been shown to decease pain in knee osteoarthritis, trapezius myofascial pain, low back pain with a herniated disk, tendinopathy of elbow and ankle, and shoulder pain. The following is a case of a construction worker who was limited in his work from a sore shoulder.
