OVERVIEW

ABOUT X-ray

Pain can leave you guessing, especially when it comes and goes. You step out of bed and feel a jolt in your heel. You walk it off, then it returns after a short errand. Your knee feels okay on flat ground, but then stairs make it bark. When the pattern feels confusing, an X-ray can give you a clearer starting point.

At Modern Medicine of Mesa, AZ, we use X-rays to check bone structure, joint spacing, and alignment. They can help spot arthritis changes, stress related bone issues, and fractures after a fall or impact. They also help rule certain problems in or out, which can save you weeks of trial and error. Once we see what the bones and joints look like, it gets easier to choose the right next step.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the clinic or schedule online. We will explain what the visit looks like and what to bring, so you are not walking in blind. Bring any recent imaging reports or notes from your doctor if you have them.

Many patients get X-rays during the same visit as their evaluation. If you need care after imaging, we talk through options and plan around your week. Some cases need one visit, others need follow-up.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We start with the basics. Where does it hurt, when does it flare, and what movements trigger it. Then we choose views that match the area and your symptoms, like weight bearing views for certain joint complaints.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

After imaging, your provider walks you through what the X-ray shows using clear language. You will discuss next steps, which may include rehab, activity changes, bracing, or referral if needed.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Follow-up depends on what we see and how you feel after the plan starts. We track pain, mobility, and how your body responds to daily activity. Then we adjust your care so you keep moving forward without repeat flare-ups.

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 if my pain is “deep” but I cannot point to one spot?
That happens a lot, especially with hip, back, and knee pain. We use your movement pattern and the exam to choose the right area to image.
Do X-rays show tears or soft tissue injuries?
No, they focus on bones and joint spacing. If we suspect a ligament, tendon, or muscle injury, we will talk about other testing options.
Will I get X-rays if I am pregnant?
Tell us right away if you are pregnant or think you might be. We will choose a safer plan and only image if it is medically necessary.
How long does the whole process take?
It is usually quick. Many people get imaging and a same day review during one visit. If a formal read is needed, we will tell you the timing.
What if I already had X rays somewhere else?
Bring the report or send it over if you can. If the images are recent, we may be able to use them and move straight into next steps.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

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
