OVERVIEW
Some pain acts like a flare. It settles for a bit, then it comes right back the second you do something normal. A knee swells after a grocery run. A shoulder wakes you up when you roll over. Steroid injections can help in cases like that because they calm inflammation in a specific spot. They can lower the irritation so you can walk, sleep, and move without bracing. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Chandler, AZ, we use injections as one part of care, then we follow up with the work that helps results last, such as strength, mobility, and better movement habits.

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
You’ll start with an evaluation first, then we’ll decide if an injection makes sense for your situation. After the injection, we plan rehab around your response so you don’t calm it down and then stir it right back up.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We start with your history and a hands-on exam. We look at what triggers symptoms, such as stairs, reaching, sitting, walking, sleep, and we check how you move. If you have imaging, we review it, but we don’t treat a report without matching it to what you feel.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
If an injection fits, we coordinate it as part of your plan and pair it with physical therapy. We work on range of motion, strength around the joint, and the way you load the area during day-to-day tasks.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
We check how you feel over the next days and weeks, not just the first day. If relief is limited or short, we adjust and talk through next steps. If it helps, we focus on keeping you steady so the same flare doesn’t keep cycling back.

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
How do I know if I’m the kind of person an injection might actually help?
Ask yourself what your pain is doing. If it keeps flaring and it’s clearly tied to swelling or inflammation, an injection may give you the break you need to start moving better. If your pain is more “catching,” “giving way,” or nerve-like, the injection may not be the right tool.
What’s a realistic expectation for results?
Most people don’t go from miserable to perfect. The best-case scenario is that the constant irritation turns down. Sleep improves. Walking feels less guarded. You still need to build support with rehab, because injections don’t replace strength and control.
If I feel better, can I go back to my normal workouts or long walks right away?
Relief can make you feel like you’re ready for everything, but the joint or tendon might still be sensitive to load. The smarter move is to use the first week to move well and rebuild, not to test your limits.
I’ve heard steroids are bad for you. Should I be worried?
It depends on your health history and how often they’re used. A single injection is common, but it isn’t something to do casually or repeatedly without a reason. Some people get temporary side effects like a sore site or a short flare. If you have diabetes, blood sugar can rise for a bit.
What do we do if it doesn’t help much?
That happens sometimes, and it’s useful information. If your pain doesn’t change or only changes for a very short time, we look at other drivers, like mechanics, strength deficits, tendon irritation, or nerve involvement.
