OVERVIEW

ABOUT Orthopedic Exams

Orthopedic pain can make you feel like you are always doing a quick body check. You stand up and see if your knee will complain. You reach overhead and hope your shoulder stays quiet. You grip the steering wheel and notice your wrist before you notice the road. You may get through most of the day, then one small move sets it off.

It gets tiring. You start avoiding the same tasks, and you lose trust in that joint. You also start guessing what the problem is, and that usually makes things worse. At Modern Medicine of East Mesa, AZ, an orthopedic exam gives you a clear read on what is going on. You leave with simple next steps you can start right away.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the clinic or schedule online. We will go over what the first visit looks like and what to bring, so you know what to expect. Wear clothes you can move in and bring any imaging reports or doctor notes you have.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

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 spread visits out as things improve.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We focus on the exact moves that bother you and the positions that feel better. 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 work you can tolerate that day and keep it controlled. You leave with a short home plan and a few simple 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 at a pace your body can handle.

I was in chronic pain for 6+ months. I saw three different sports medicine physicians with no answers or relief. I started going to Bloom with the expectation of just managing my pain with dry needling. Eric did a few treatments on my shoulder as I requested but I kept coming back. He took a time out and wanted to make sure that nothing was overlooked, so he did an ultrasound. He found a rotator cuff tear, it was overlooked by other providers. I’m finally getting the right treatments and healing. I’m so so grateful that he took the time. This office is wonderful and you feel like family as soon as you walk through the door.

I started seeing Eric in the middle of last year because of a sudden back spasm injury. As an avid runner I wanted to be treated and be able to get back out there on the road again. Eric and his team gave me the confidence and the tools to have me running in 6 weeks. His knowledge and attention to his patients went far beyond what I have received in a long time at other PT facilities. I am now a healthy runner, I know what it takes to keep my body strong, and I can always visit the team when I need to keep a little tweak or get dialed in before the races.

I had never tried, or even heard of, dry needling before, but after Eric treated my elbow, it magically came around in a matter of weeks, after being tight and sore and painful for months post-surgery. I couldn’t believe it! He then turned his attention to areas of my back, hips and legs, and the impact was similarly fantastic! I can’t say enough about the procedure, and Eric’s expertise in it!… In addition to the dry needling, Eric and Frank have put me through and given me a variety of core and functional exercises to help with my strength and stability…

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

What should I bring if I have seen another provider?
Bring whatever you can pull up fast, even a photo of the report on your phone. Also tell us what you tried and what happened after.
Will you only test the painful spot?
No, we also check the parts that make it work, like the hip for a knee issue. That is often where the missing piece shows up.
What if the pain is not bad today?
That is normal, so do not worry about “proving” it. Tell us what sets it off at home or work, and we will test that.
Can I keep exercising while you figure it out?
Usually yes, but we may swap a few moves for now. You keep the habit, and we keep the flare risk down.
What will I leave with after the exam?
You leave with a simple plan for the next week, not a vague list. You will know what to do today, what to skip for now, and what comes next.

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

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

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.
