OVERVIEW

ABOUT Shoulder Pain

Shoulders are weirdly easy to ignore until they are not. You notice it grabbing a gallon of milk. Reaching to scratch your back. Tossing a ball with the kids. The pain might fade for a day, then it shows up loud the next time you swing your arm. A sharp jolt lifting overhead. A deep ache that settles in late afternoon. A grinding feeling that did not used to be there. Folks tend to chalk it up to age or sleeping funny and move on. The shoulder usually has more to say than that. At Modern Medicine of Peoria, AZ, orthopedic care digs into the joint, the muscles around it, and the moves that keep flaring it up, then builds a plan based on what the shoulder is actually doing.

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.

Tracy Jo Wade
Phoenix, AZ Resident

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 both shoulders are bothering me?

Pretty common, actually. One shoulder starts hurting, you start using the other one more, and a few weeks in, that one is sore too. Sometimes both have separate issues, sometimes the second one is just overworked. The visit covers both either way.

Can the way I sleep cause shoulder pain?

Yep. Side sleepers especially. Hours of body weight pressing on the joint can flare things up or keep an existing problem from settling. Switching sides or changing pillow setup can help a little, but if the pain keeps coming back, it is not really a sleep problem.

Does shoulder pain mean I have a tear?

Not usually. Tears get blamed for a lot of pain that has nothing to do with them. Most shoulder problems come from inflammation, muscle imbalance, or joint irritation. Even when a tear shows up on imaging, plenty of people have them with no pain at all.

Is it okay to keep working with shoulder pain?

Depends on the job and the pain. Desk work tends to be fine. Anything overhead, anything heavy, or anything with lots of reaching might need adjustments for a while. Pushing through usually backfires and stretches recovery out.

Can old shoulder injuries flare up years later?

They can. An old injury changes how the shoulder moves, and over time, the changes wear on other parts of the joint. A shoulder you hurt in your twenties can be the same one giving you trouble in your fifties, just for different reasons now.

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

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

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.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
