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 Physical Therapy & Sports 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.

Orthopedic Experts

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.

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.

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

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What sets MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE apart is that our physical therapists and orthopedists utilize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. That means care is guided by what we can actually see, not guesswork.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
