OVERVIEW

ABOUT Orthopedic Exams

Orthopedic pain can get under your skin because it keeps interrupting normal stuff. You feel okay when you start moving, then your knee complains once you hit the stairs. Your shoulder feels stiff in the morning, then it bites when you reach for something in the cabinet. You start doing little workarounds without thinking. After a while, it feels like you are always guarding something.

An orthopedic exam helps because you stop guessing. At our Peoria clinic, we use the exam to figure out what is driving the pain and what your joint can handle right now. You leave with clear next steps and a plan you can use this week. You also know what to pause for now, so you do not keep setting off the same flare.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the local clinic or schedule online via our form. Wear clothes you can move in and bring any imaging reports or doctor notes you have.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Most orthopedic exams happen in one visit. If you need care after the exam, we set a plan that fits your symptoms and your goals. Many people start with one or two visits each week for a short stretch, then space out as things improve.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We focus on the exact movements that set pain off and the positions that feel better. Then we test range of motion, strength, and joint control with simple tasks. If symptoms travel, we also check nerve signs.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

If the exam shows you need rehab, we start with what feels manageable that day. We use guided mobility and starter strength work, plus hands on care when it helps you move better. You leave with a short home plan and a few simple movement changes you can use right away.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Each follow up checks what changed since the last visit. We track pain, swelling, range of motion, and which tasks still feel limited. Then we adjust the plan and build challenge at a pace your body can handle.

The front office staff, especially Cheri is wonderful to work with and happy to help with your needs. The therapists there have a great team and attitude. They definitely want to see you succeed. Ian has a great bedside manner but really they all do. I would recommend them anytime.

Fantastic results for chronic sciatica after just 3 weeks. Everyone is kind, helpful and meets you where you are at. I’m so grateful to have found Modern PT.

Modern Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine exceeded my expectations. Being able to get the diagnosis through ultrasound on the first visit is so much more efficient in diagnosing and determining the treatment plan. It was amazing to be able to see the collaboration between Dr. Davies, PT Tim Moxie and Ryan with ultrasound. They are all very caring and I am currently receiving outstanding PT through Tim for shoulder pain. They offer additional treatment options as well. The office staff is flexible. I am recommending this office to friends and family.

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 such that you are unable to deal, don’t wait. Call 911 or go straight to a hospital. Safety is essential, no matter what. That initial action, after which we are able to lend a hand in helping you find longer-term relief.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Sometimes, pain will keep you from being brought to your knees, but it does disrupt your ability to function in 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 have 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.

Answering Your Questions

What if my pain only shows up after activity?

That is really common, and it can feel unfair. Tell us what you did and when it hit, then we test the same pattern and build tolerance without the payback.

Do you test strength even if it hurts?

Yes, but we start light and keep it controlled. If it feels sharp or unstable, we stop and switch the approach.

Can you tell if it is tendon, joint, or muscle pain?

Often we can, based on how it shows up with certain movements and loads. We explain what the signs point to in plain language and tell you if anything needs imaging.

What if my joint feels like it might give out?

That feeling matters, even if it happens once in a while. We check control and strength, then teach you safer ways to step, turn, and go down stairs right away.

Should I take pain medicine before I come in?

Come in like a normal day for you and do not change your routine just for the visit. Tell us what you took and when, since that can change how symptoms show up.

"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
