OVERVIEW

ABOUT TMJ

TMJ pain can start small. A click when you yawn. Tightness after eating something chewy. Then it sticks around. Talking or smiling hurts. Your neck feels tense, and your jaw gets sore near the ear. Many people around Mesa deal with this because of stress, clenching, or posture. At Get Modern Medicine of Mesa, AZ, we look at what’s really going on.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

You can call Get Modern Medicine of Mesa, AZ, or schedule online. Before your first visit, we’ll explain what to expect so you feel comfortable coming in.

TMJ recovery takes consistency. Most people start with one or two visits each week. As the joint loosens and pain fades, visits space out. A full plan often lasts about four to eight weeks. It depends on how long you’ve had symptoms and how your body responds.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

The first visit is all about finding the source of the pain. We’ll ask when it started, what makes it worse, and what you feel day to day. We check how wide your jaw opens, listen for clicks or pops, and note how it moves. We also look at your neck and shoulders since those muscles often add strain.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Therapy is calm and hands-on. We use light pressure to release tight spots in the jaw, face, and neck. If the joint feels restricted, we guide small movements to restore motion. You’ll learn simple stretches and how to rest your jaw between visits. We talk through posture, daily stress, and breathing habits that help prevent flare-ups.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Follow-up visits track your progress and keep healing steady. We measure your motion, note changes in pain, and adjust your home plan as needed. Early visits focus on reducing tightness. Later ones help rebuild strength and control for normal daily use.

This place is great! They offer ultrasound to diagnose. After my ultrasound they set me up with a plan to get better. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend going here!

I had awesome physical therapy at Modern PT. After tearing my bicep tendon, I needed help and I got it. It is easy to schedule appointments and always on time. Amber, scheduling, Taylor, PT and Nathan…

Modern Physical therapy helped me so much and I would recommend them to anyone who needs Physical therapy. I had a sharp pain in my right hip. The first visit, after having a detailed conversation and assessment, including an ultrasound to really see what the problem is, Brianne was able to focus on the exact area. I had 12 sessions and I am feeling so much better. My right hip doesn’t have the sharp pain it had previously. She gave me a home exercise program to continue doing on my own so I can continue strengthening the muscles I need to so this problem doesn’t happen again. The staff is so kind and friendly – I always felt comfortable there and cared about!

What Are You Experiencing?

Pain is difficult to articulate, and you don’t need to have the “right” words. Just tell us how you have been feeling it. Use the brief form to tell us in your own words like sharp, dull, or won’t stop. We will then contact you so that we can talk a little bit about what might be happening and how we may be able to help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If the pain is intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to the hospital. Safety is foremost. Then, after addressing that, we’ll be able to assist you in the next steps toward comfort.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This kind of pain is not going to keep you from doing things, but it makes daily life difficult. Maybe it hits in bursts, maybe it is always there. Attribute it to the best of your ability. That’s all we need in order to start to understand what is happening.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even small aches matter. That morning stiffness in your lower back, muscle aches in your legs after a day, or that pesky spot you’ve been ignoring. Those are things we want to talk about. Tell us what you’ve been feeling, and we’ll do our best to get ahead of it.

Answering Your Questions

What does therapy feel like?
It’s gentle. You’ll feel pressure and slow stretching, but it shouldn’t hurt. Most people leave feeling looser. If you feel sore that night, it usually fades by morning.
When will I notice a change?
Some people feel better after a couple of sessions. Others take a few weeks. It depends on how long the jaw has been irritated. You’ll notice progress when chewing or talking feels easier.
Does it help with headaches or ear pain?
Yes, often. Those muscles connect. When they relax, pressure around the head and ears tends to calm down too. A lot of patients say their headaches drop within the first few visits.
What should I do between sessions?
Keep the jaw relaxed. Teeth apart, lips together, tongue on the roof of your mouth. Warm compresses help when things feel tight. Avoid gum or chewy food. Give your face a break when you can.
What if the pain comes back sometimes?
That happens. Stress and sleep both affect it. Flare-ups don’t mean you’re starting over. It’s part of the process. We’ll teach you how to manage those moments so they pass faster each time.

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

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.
