THE MODERN WAY

PHYSICAL THERAPY +

ORTHOPEDICS

SERVING THE EAST MESA, AZ AREA INCLUDING TEMPE, SCOTTSDALE AND BEYOND

We combine Physical Therapy with Non-Surgical Orthopedics to create advanced treatment programs that are truly MODERN MEDICINE.

We TREAT you like a 200 Million-Dollar Athlete

for the same price as ANY other physical therapy clinic.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

At our clinic, physical therapy isn’t about handing you the same routine everyone else gets. We employ diagnostic ultrasound to check within the joint or muscle and gain knowledge of what’s really happening so your plan is based 100% around your needs.

NON-SURGICAL ORTHOPEDICS

Less than 7% of aches or injuries need surgery. In reality, most problems don’t need it. At our East Mesa clinic, non-surgical orthopedic care is a big part of what we do. Arthritis, long-healed injuries that still cause pain, sore shoulders or knees that act up every week, we see all of it. These treatments give relief without putting you through hospital stays or months of recovery.

Josh Adams

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

HOW WE CAN HELP

Explore Our Services

NON-SURGICAL ORTHOPEDICS

Imaging Diagnostics

We rely on imaging to give us a clear look at what’s happening. With the right picture, we can treat the actual problem instead of chasing symptoms.

Visco-Gel Arthritis Injections

Arthritis can make daily routines frustrating. Even walking across the room can feel stiff and painful. Visco-gel injections add cushion inside the joint, which makes movement smoother and less stressful.

Joint & Muscle Injections

When inflammation keeps coming back, direct injections help. By calming the exact area causing pain, your body has a chance to heal while you move with more freedom.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Spinal & Disc Rehabilitation

Our spinal and disc rehab program focuses on core strength, posture, and flexibility. By supporting the spine, we take pressure off problem areas so you can get through your day without constant strain.

Vertigo, Fall & Balance Care

Losing your balance or dealing with dizziness makes even simple tasks stressful. Our therapists work with you to retrain your body, restore balance, and lower your risk of falls.

Post-Operative Therapy

Surgery is just the first step. Recovery is where the real progress happens. Our East Mesa therapists build gradual programs that restore strength and confidence.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Q

Dry Needling

Knots and tension can hold you back for years. Dry needling gives those tight muscles a chance to release, often providing relief right away.

Trigger Point Injections

Overactive muscles that never seem to relax respond well to trigger point injections. By treating the exact spot that’s causing pain, we help muscles loosen and restore normal function.

SI Joint Steroid Injections

The sacroiliac joint is often the source of lower back pain. Steroid injections calm the inflammation, making it easier to sit, stand, or walk without constant discomfort.

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

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.
