OVERVIEW

ABOUT STEROID INJECTIONS

Some pain feels like it has a short fuse. You do a normal task, and it flares, then it hangs around for days. A knee swells after being on your feet. A shoulder gets angry after reaching into the back seat. A hip tightens up after a long sit, then hurts for the first few minutes you walk. Steroid injections can help when inflammation is the main driver of that cycle. They don’t rebuild cartilage and they don’t repair a tear. They can calm irritation in a targeted spot so you can move with less guarding and get more out of rehab. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Goodyear, AZ, we use injections as one piece of care.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

You’ll start with an evaluation first, then we’ll decide if an injection fits your situation. If you move forward, we plan the next steps around your response so you don’t feel better briefly and then flare again. The timing depends on the area treated and what your week looks like.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We start with your history and a movement exam. We look at what triggers symptoms, like stairs, walking, reaching, sitting, or sleeping, and we check how you move during those basics.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

If an injection makes sense, we coordinate it as part of your plan and pair it with physical therapy. We work on range of motion, strength around the joint, and the movement habits that keep the area overloaded.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

We check how you feel over the next days and weeks, not just the first day. If relief is limited or short, we adjust the plan and talk through other options. If you improve, we focus on making it last with steady progress.

Orthopedic Experts

I recently moved to Arizona from Connecticut, where I spent six months being treated for my ulnar nerve/elbow injury. In just two sessions, Mariah Craycroft has helped me more than I experienced during those six months. I’m finally seeing real progress and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with a similar injury.

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.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If you are experiencing severe or unbearable pain, 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 do I know if I’m dealing with inflammation or something mechanical?

Inflammation usually has a “puffy and cranky” feel. You might notice swelling, warmth, aching at night, or stiffness after sitting that eases once you get moving. Mechanical issues tend to feel more specific, like a sharp pinch with one motion, catching, or that “it might give out” sensation.

What’s a smart way to act if I feel better right away?

Enjoy the relief, but don’t treat it like permission to do everything you’ve been avoiding. The most common mistake is a long walk, a hard workout, or a big cleaning day because you finally feel good. Keep it steady for a bit, then build up in steps.

Do I need imaging before I can get an injection?

Not always. Sometimes we can make a clear call from your symptoms and exam. Imaging helps when the picture is murky, or when we need to rule something in or out. If we think you need it, we’ll explain what it adds, not just send you out for tests.

Can I get an injection and skip therapy?

You can, but many people end up right back where they started. The injection can calm things down, but it doesn’t fix stiffness, weakness, or the way you’re loading the joint. Therapy is usually the piece that helps the relief last longer.

What if the injection doesn’t help much?

That happens. It doesn’t mean you’re out of options; it just means the driver might be different from what we thought. We go back to the exam findings, look at other sources like tendon overload or nerve irritation, and adjust the plan.

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
