OVERVIEW

ABOUT SHOULDER PAIN

At Modern Medicine of Gilbert, AZ, orthopedic care comes in when shoulder pain stops being a short-term thing. You feel it grabbing your coffee. Putting on a coat. Trying to find a side to sleep on. The pain might fade and come back, but it keeps landing in the same places. A pinch when you reach up. A dull ache after a long day in the yard. A weak feeling when lifting groceries to the counter. Stuff like that sits in the background until it starts cutting into your day. Orthopedic care figures out what is really going on in the joint and around it, then builds a plan that gets the shoulder doing its job again.

This is our go to place for all physical therapy! We have been coming here for at least 3 years now for my daughter’s sports injuries from dance. They also do imaging so it is a 1 stop clinic. We have been very pleased with the results but what’s set them apart is the staff. They take their time to explain everything to you, take their time with the therapy and treat you like family. We highly recommend them to everyone we know!

Anyone looking for a PT team look no further. I had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery mid-September. Physical Therapy was recommended after week 4 post surgery. My journey to find the right fit began and ended at Modern Physical Therapy in Gilbert. I was looking for a ‘team’ that would partner with me so I would receive the best, safest and most effective care/results possible knowing that my recovery would not be easy or a quick fix. My treatments began the beginning of October with Ben and Drey who are great listeners, are extremely accomplished with all types of needs and have been an amazing part of my team. Equally as important are the girls who are at the front desk. The girls are first to welcome you, accommodate your schedules while making appts, and answer any questions you may have with insurance etc. I highly recommend Modern PT and their entire team!!

Modern PT is excellent. They are very supportive and really do a good job with therapy. The whole staff is very kind. They take 1 hour and run on time which I really like. I appreciate their treatments. I feel much better after a hard surgery.

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

What usually brings people in for shoulder pain?

Most folks come in once the pain stops going away on its own. They feel it with sleep, with reaching, with stuff that used to be nothing. Once that hangs around a few weeks, the shoulder needs real attention, not more waiting.

Is orthopedic care only for major shoulder injuries?

Nope. We see all kinds, from rotator cuff strains and tendon stuff to arthritis and stiffness that just will not let up. Some people come in early. Others come after months of pushing through.

Does this mean surgery?

Usually not. Most shoulders get better with a real plan that does not involve surgery at all. If it ever does become the right call, we are upfront about it and walk you through what is next.

What should I notice if things are heading the right way?

Small stuff first. Sleep gets better. Reaching feels less guarded. Strength starts coming back. The shoulder stops being the thing you think about every time you move your arm.

What if orthopedic care is not the right fit?

That is okay. If the plan does not match your goals or what your shoulder needs, we can talk through other options that might work better.

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

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.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
