OVERVIEW
Let’s be honest, jaw pain wears you down. Maybe it started with a pop when you chewed or tightness that came and went. Then it stayed. Talking feels harder. Your jaw locks for a second or two. The muscles in your neck get sore. That’s usually how TMJ begins. For many people in Peoria, stress or clenching throughout the day makes it worse. At Get Modern Medicine of Peoria, AZ, we keep things simple. We calm the joint, loosen the muscles, and help you move without that constant pull. Each visit, we track small changes like how wide you open, how evenly you move, and how much pain has dropped.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
You can call us or set it up online. Whatever’s easier. Before your first visit, we’ll explain what happens so you’re not guessing. If you’ve had dental work or use a mouth guard, bring that along. Once you’re here, we handle the details and get started.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Most people come once or twice a week in the beginning. When pain settles, we spread visits out. It’s usually a few weeks of steady care. Sometimes longer, depending on how your jaw reacts. We check in every time and adjust the plan if you need it.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We start by talking. When did this start? Does it come and go? What makes it worse? Then we check how wide you can open, if the jaw shifts, and how tight the muscles feel. We always look at your neck and shoulders too.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment is quiet, focused work. We use light pressure on the muscles that usually hold tension: the masseter, pterygoid, and temporalis. Gentle movements help the joint glide again. You’ll pick up small daily habits: stretches, posture resets, breathing to keep from clenching.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Every visit builds on what we did last time. We measure your motion, update exercises, and add new ones when you’re ready. Some sessions are for flexibility, others for control and strength. You’ll feel the difference week by week. Less tightness. Easier movement. More normal days.

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
Why does my jaw feel sore after eating?
Those muscles are working too hard. They tighten every time you chew. As they relax, that soreness starts to fade.
Can this help with pain around my temples?
Yes. The same muscles that move your jaw also run up toward your head. Once they loosen, that pressure eases up.
Do I need to stop talking or singing for now?
No, but try shorter sessions and give your jaw breaks. The idea is to move often but not push it.
What should I do when it flares up?
Use warm compresses, eat softer foods, and keep your teeth apart when resting. Let the area settle before big meals or long conversations.
How soon do people feel better?
A lot of patients notice change after two or three sessions. It depends on how long you’ve had it, but steady care always pays off.
