OVERVIEW
Hand arthritis makes itself known in the small stuff. A jar lid that won't budge for anything. Fingers that feel like wood for the first stretch after you wake up. That deep ache right at the base of your thumb every single time you pinch a key or fight with a zipper.
What's happening underneath is that the cartilage padding those joints has worn thin, so the surfaces don't glide the way they once did. Give it time and some joints swell, and those knobby bumps can start showing up along the fingers. The thumb base usually takes the worst beating, because that little joint absorbs a shocking amount of load every time you grab hold of something.
Now the honest part. Nothing brings worn cartilage back, and anybody telling you otherwise is selling something. But that's a completely different thing from being stuck with the pain. Therapy goes after everything surrounding the joint, and it turns out there's quite a lot to work with there. Stronger muscles, smarter habits, better support during the tasks that hurt. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Peoria, AZ, we help your hands hurt less and keep doing what you need out of them.

DJ at Modern Sports Medicine Physical Therapy and Orthopedics in Peoria, AZ is by far the best physical therapist I’ve worked with! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knows what he’s doing. His hands-on manipulation and manual therapy is over the top! I came from another physical therapy practice, and the care there wasn’t even close to the level I’ve received here. I’m very happy I made the switch and met DJ. Highly recommend him and this clinic. He is the best!!

I had a bad knee injury due to a sidewalk fall resulting in some major swelling, cuts and bruises and a slightly impacted meniscus tear. After seeing my PCP and having x-rays, I was directed to Physical Therapy. I searched several facilities and landed at Modern PT. I worked directly with DJ Repp for about 8 weeks and have to say DJ & his team are amazing. They were personable, and highly pro in all that they did in guiding the process to recovery. They work "together" with you according to a pace that you're comfortable with, while providing just enough challenge to keep you forward focused. I recovered so well under their great care. I would highly recommended this particular office at 83rd Ave & Cactus! in Peoria.

What Are You Experiencing?
Pain is hard to put into words. You might not have a good sense of what kind of care you need, and that’s OK. What matters is how things are right now. Please fill out this short form to summarize how things are. We will then follow up and take you through what may be causing the pain, as well as what may work as a solution.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is severe or more than you can manage, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to a hospital. Safety comes first. After that, we can help you find longer-term relief.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
Sometimes, pain may not bring you to your knees, but it still disrupts your daily life. Perhaps it’s intermittent and stabbing, or maybe it’s just present during the day. Let’s get those details from you, and we’ll do our best to determine what’s causing it.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little aches hurt just as badly. A sore shoulder, stiff knees, or a throbbing ache that shows itself every once in a while can still take its toll. Let us know how you’ve been doing, and we’ll take care of it for you before it grows into something bigger.
