OVERVIEW

ABOUT KNEE PAIN TREATMENT

Knees work hard in Gilbert. Between youth soccer on the weekends, pickleball, long walks at the Riparian Preserve, and jobs that keep people on their feet, we see sore knees from every age group. For some, it’s a sharp pain under the kneecap going downstairs. Others feel the knee buckle when they turn too quickly, or notice it puffing up after a long day. Arthritis is a big one as we get older. We also see plenty of meniscus tears, sore tendons, and the nagging ache around the kneecap that a lot of runners end up with. Whatever is behind it, most knees get better without surgery, and our job is figuring out what yours needs.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Some people pick up the phone, and some would rather type out a request on our website at ten at night. Either one gets you on the schedule, and any knee X-rays or MRI reports from somewhere else are worth bringing.

Let the front desk know your work hours and we’ll find something around them. Mention it if the knee is swollen or buckling, since those get bumped up.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

Plan on doing a few squats and stepping up onto a low box while we watch which way the knee drifts. After that comes some poking around the joint, a few ligament tests that look odd but don’t hurt, and a strength check for the thigh and hip.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Strong quads and glutes take a ton of stress off the knee joint, so expect a lot of leg work. On top of that, there’s some hands-on loosening, and sometimes tape or a brace for a few weeks. Arthritic knees may also get an injection to calm things down.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Every few visits we retest the stairs and the squat to see how far you’ve come. When those feel normal again, we start getting you ready for the court, the trail, or a full shift on your feet.

I cannot say enough, good things about my experience here. From the moment you walk in the staff is welcoming, kind, and professional, making each appointment something to look forward to rather than a chore. They genuinely listen to your feedback. On days when my pain was elevated, they immediately modified my routine to make sure I was safe and comfortable while still making progress definitely five stars.

Ryan and the team were incredible. MRI and doctor told me that I had a couple tears in the bottom of my foot after a kickboxing injury. Ryan got me back to walking, exercising, and Muay Thai sooner than expected and with full confidence. Will recommend this team to anyone who needs Physical Therapy.

Great group of people. And they know their business. I had trouble standing and walking, but they identified the issues and provided me with the exercises and stretches I needed to allow me to go on my vacation that involved miles of walking. I'm thankful they were there for me.

What Are You Experiencing?

Most people don’t come in knowing exactly what treatment they need. What they do know is that something hurts. That’s all we need to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how your pain feels. Once we read through it, we’ll give you a call to talk about what might be causing it and what we can do to help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels unbearable or you can’t think straight, please don’t wait; call 911 or head to the hospital right away. Get the urgent care first. Once you’re safe, we’ll be here to help with the next steps.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This is the kind of pain that doesn’t stop you completely, but it makes every day harder. Maybe it’s sharp. Maybe it’s dull and won’t let up. Write down what it feels like. We’ll go over it with you and start figuring out what’s behind it.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even the small stuff matters. A stiff back in the morning, sore joints after work, or little aches that keep showing up are all worth paying attention to. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you stay on top of it before it gets worse.

Answering Your Questions

How come my knee aches when I stand up after a movie?

Doctors even have a nickname for it: the “moviegoer’s knee.” Two hours with the knee bent presses the kneecap into the groove it slides in, and that spot gets cranky. Building up your thighs and hips helps, and so does straightening your legs every so often during the show.

My knee puffs up after I work out. Should I worry about that?

Once in a while, after a big hike, it’s probably fine. If it swells after most workouts, though, something in there is irritated, maybe a meniscus tear or some arthritis. Give us a call if it keeps happening.

Every so often my knee just buckles. What would cause that?

Sometimes the thigh muscle is too weak to catch you. Other times a ligament is loose, or a torn flap of cartilage is getting caught in the joint for a split second. Any of those is worth a look, mostly because buckling knees lead to falls.

Do I need to stop doing squats?

Probably not. You might just squat to a box for a while instead of going all the way down, or swap in a move that’s gentler on the joint. We’d rather keep you lifting than have you sit around.

Are the knee sleeves worth buying?

They’re not a bad buy. A lot of people like how warm and snug the knee feels in one. Just don’t expect a sleeve to fix anything on its own, since the leg still needs to get stronger.

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS 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 sets MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE apart is that our physical therapists and orthopedists utilize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. That means care is guided by what we can actually see, not guesswork.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
