OVERVIEW

ABOUT KNEE PAIN TREATMENT

A bad knee has a way of shrinking your world. Stairs turn into a decision. You scope out the closest parking spot. Getting up off the couch comes with a brace and a wince. What throws people is how many different things can cause it, and how the pain you feel isn't always where the trouble started. Our team digs into what's actually driving your knee pain, because treating the wrong thing gets you nowhere. From there, it's a plan to settle the pain and get the joint working again, mostly through strengthening, hands-on care, and smarter movement. The large majority of knee problems get handled without surgery ever coming up. When one genuinely needs more, we'll tell you straight.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Simple to get started. Call Modern Medicine of Chandler, AZ, or put in a request through the online form if that's easier for you. Someone on our team finds a time, takes your questions, and walks you through what the first visit looks like.

Most knee problems take more than one visit to settle. At our Chandler clinic, care runs across several weeks, so the joint improves at a pace that actually holds.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We check how the knee moves, what's weak or tight around it, and what sets off the pain. That first read keeps the plan aimed at the real cause, not a generic routine.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Care might mean strengthening the muscles that support the knee, hands-on work to free up movement, or injections at Modern Medicine of Chandler, AZ. The plan shifts as the knee improves.

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 does my knee hurt more on stairs than on flat ground?
Stairs load the kneecap far harder than walking does, especially heading down. When the muscles around the knee are weak or the kneecap isn't tracking right, stairs are usually where you feel it first. The evaluation at Modern Medicine of Chandler, AZ sorts out what's behind it.
Can knee pain be treated without surgery?
For most knee problems, yes. The large majority get handled through strengthening, hands-on work, and movement changes, with no operating room involved. Surgery only comes up for specific injuries like a locking meniscus or an unstable ligament, and even then, rehab is usually part of it.
My knee pain showed up without any injury. Is that normal?
More common than you'd think. Plenty of knee pain builds quietly from weak hips, tight muscles, or the way you move, then turns up one day with no clear cause. The problem was building for a while. The pain just took its time announcing itself.
Should I rest my knee or keep using it?
Usually keep it moving, within reason. Total rest tends to stiffen the joint and weaken the muscles that support it, which sets you back. The right amount of the right movement is what helps it settle, and finding that balance is part of what a plan sorts out.
Will I get exercises to do at home?
Almost certainly. The strengthening that takes load off the knee works best with steady practice between visits. At our Chandler clinic, patients usually leave with a few simple moves to keep the progress going between appointments.

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What separates MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE from just about every other company is our physical therapists and orthopedists utlize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing.  Everyone else is operating blindly.
