OVERVIEW
There's a moment people describe over and over. They go down a step, or lower into a squat, and the knee catches, like something briefly wedged in the joint. A day later it's swollen. Then stairs turn into a careful, one-at-a-time affair with a hand on the rail.
That pattern often points to a meniscus tear. The meniscus is a pad of cartilage inside your knee, sitting between the bones as a cushion and load-spreader. Tear it and the joint stops gliding cleanly, which is where the swelling, the snag, and the stiffness come from.
What throws people is that you can usually still walk on it. A knee that walks fine and a knee with a genuine tear go together all the time, so a knee that seems only a little off is still worth checking.
The reassuring part: plenty of tears never see an operating room. At Modern Medicine of Goodyear, AZ, we start with care that protects the knee and rebuilds the strength around it.

DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We ask how it started, test the knee's motion, and locate the tear. Imaging confirms things when the picture isn't clear.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

SEVERE PAIN
If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.
