OVERVIEW

ABOUT Shoulder Pain

At Modern Medicine of Goodyear, AZ, orthopedic care kicks in when the shoulder stops bouncing back like it used to. You feel it pulling a shirt over your head. Setting a plate in the top cabinet. Gripping the wheel on a longer drive. The pain might ease up for a few days. Then back it comes, same reach, same motion. A sting lifting your arm out to the side. That heavy, tired feeling after carrying stuff. The weird middle-of-the-night ache that wakes you no matter how you flip the pillow. Folks put up with this way longer than they should. Orthopedic care digs into what is really driving it, the joint and everything around it, and builds a plan that actually moves the shoulder forward.

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.

What Are You Experiencing?

You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.

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.

Answering Your Questions

How long should I wait before getting shoulder pain checked?
Two to three weeks is the line for most folks. If pain is still daily, or it is wrecking sleep or normal tasks, the body is asking for more than rest. Shoulders that get help early tend to heal up cleaner than the ones that drag on.
What if it is more annoying than serious?
Plenty of people come in for exactly that. A nagging ache that never quite leaves is still worth checking. Small stuff caught early usually takes less work to fix than the same thing six months later.
Does shoulder pain always come from the shoulder?
Not always. The neck, upper back, and shoulder blade can all send pain into the shoulder area. Part of the visit is figuring out where the real source is, because chasing the wrong spot is a big reason people stay stuck.
Can I keep working out during care?
Usually yes, with tweaks. We sort out what is fine, what needs to change, and what should pause for a bit. The point is to keep you moving, not park your whole routine.
How is this different from doing exercises at home?
Home stuff helps, but only if it is the right stuff. Random routines from the internet often miss or make things worse. The plan here is shaped to your shoulder, your strength, and how your day actually goes.

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

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.
