OVERVIEW
ABOUT Orthopedic Exams
Orthopedic pain can wear you down because it keeps moving the target. Your knee feels okay on a flat walk, then stairs light it up. Your hip feels stiff after sitting, then loosens once you take a few laps around the house. Your shoulder feels fine until you reach for something overhead, then it reminds you it is still there. You start making little deals with yourself all day just to get through errands.
An orthopedic exam helps because you stop guessing. We use the exam to sort out what is driving the pain and what your joint can handle right now. You leave with clear next steps and a plan you can use this week. You also know which moves to pause for now, so you do not keep poking the same sore spot.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Call the clinic or schedule online. Wear clothes you can move in and bring any imaging reports or doctor notes you have. We can also answer any questions you may have.

Most orthopedic exams happen in one visit. If you need care after the exam, we set a plan that fits your symptoms and goals. Many people start with one or two visits each week for a short stretch, then space visits out as things settle.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We focus on what hurts during real tasks and what seems to calm it down. Then we test range of motion, strength, and how you move, plus nerve signs if symptoms travel.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
If you need rehab, we start with gentle work you can tolerate that day, then build from there. You leave with a short home plan and a few simple movement changes you can use right away.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Each follow up checks what changed since the last visit. We track pain, swelling, range of motion, and which tasks still feel limited. Then we adjust the plan and build challenge only when your body is ready.

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
Do I need a referral for an orthopedic exam?
Many people do not. If your insurance plan asks for one, our front desk will tell you what you need when you call. If you already have a referral, bring it.
What if I cannot point to one injury?
That is normal. A lot of orthopedic pain builds over time. It can come from repeated lifting, a new workout routine, yard work, or long hours at a desk. We focus on what triggers it now and what calms it, then we test from there.
Will you tell me what you think it is?
Yes. We explain what the exam points to using plain language. If we think you need imaging or a medical follow up, we tell you what we saw and why it matters.
Can you look at more than one area?
Often, yes. Pain can connect. A sore hip can change how your knee loads. Neck tension can feed shoulder pain. Tell us your main issue first, then mention what else feels linked.
How do I get the most out of the visit?
Come in on a normal day and do not try to “warm up” by pushing through pain first. Bring a short list of the top three movements that bother you. That makes the exam more useful right away.
