OVERVIEW
Pain does not wait for a convenient time. A rolled ankle on a morning hike. Shoulder pain that showed up during a swim and has not left since. Hip tightness that built quietly through a long workweek and crossed a line on Saturday. At Modern Medicine of Northwest Tucson, we start by hearing what actually happened. When did it show up? What makes it worse? What has already been tried. Those details matter more than most people realize when building a plan that gets someone back to moving the way they want to.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Call the Northwest Tucson office or book online when that fits better. The team walks through what to expect, how long the first visit usually runs, and what to bring so nothing about showing up feels uncertain.

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.
LOW HIGH
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
Do you work with younger athletes?
Yes. The team regularly sees young athletes from middle school through high school managing everything from growth-related overuse injuries to acute sports injuries. Plans are age-appropriate and parents are part of the process throughout.
My pain only shows up at work, not during exercise. Can sports medicine still help?
Absolutely. Pain that builds during a long shift, sitting at a desk, or standing for hours is just as worth addressing as a sports injury. The plan gets built around the actual demands of the patient’s day, not just athletic activity.
Can sports medicine help me avoid surgery?
Often yes. A significant number of injuries that seem like surgical candidates respond well to structured non-surgical care. If surgery genuinely is the better path, the team will say so clearly and help make the recovery after it smoother.
I want to keep training while I recover. Is that realistic?
Usually, yes, with the right modifications. Most patients stay active during recovery by adjusting what they are doing rather than stopping entirely. The team guides what is safe to continue and what needs to be temporarily scaled back.
I am not a competitive athlete. Is sports medicine still relevant for me?
Very much so. Most patients are not chasing medals. They are trying to hike on weekends, play recreational sports, keep up with kids, or just get through an active week without something breaking down. Sports medicine is built for anyone who wants to keep moving.
