OVERVIEW
Some pain doesn’t stay at one level. It ramps up, cools off, then ramps up again. You might wake up stiff, feel a little better after moving, then flare after a normal day on your feet. Or you might feel fine until you reach, climb stairs, or sit too long, and then it bites. Steroid injections can help when inflammation is a big part of that cycle. They don’t rebuild cartilage, and they don’t repair a tear. They can calm an irritated joint or nearby tissue so you can move with less guarding and get more out of rehab. Many people look into injections after trying rest, ice, over-the-counter meds, and careful stretching, and nothing sticks. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Gilbert, AZ, we treat an injection as a tool to lower the inflammation, then we focus on strength, mobility, and better mechanics so the flare is less likely to return.

You’ll start with an evaluation first, then we decide if an injection fits. If you move forward, we plan rehab around your response so you don’t calm it down and then flare again.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We start with your history and a movement exam. We look at triggers like walking, stairs, reaching, sitting, and sleep, and we watch how you move through those basics.

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
If an injection makes sense, we coordinate it as part of your plan and pair it with therapy. We work on motion, strength, and daily habits that keep the area irritated.

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
Do steroid injections only help arthritis?
No. They can also help when a bursa or tissue around a joint is inflamed. The key is that inflammation needs to be a main driver.
What if my pain moves around?
That’s common. Compensation and irritation patterns can shift day to day. We look at your movement and triggers, so we’re not chasing the sorest spot.
Can I drive after an injection?
Most people can. Still, some people feel sore or a little off for a short time, especially if the area is already sensitive. If you’re unsure, plan a ride, and we can talk through what to expect based on the body part being treated.
How many injections can I get?
There isn’t a single number that fits everyone. It depends on the joint, the condition, your health history, and how often symptoms return. We think of injections as occasional tools, not something you should need on repeat to function.
What if I feel worse the next day?
A short flare can happen. Keep the day light and avoid testing it. If symptoms keep climbing or feel out of proportion, call the prescribing provider.
