OVERVIEW

ABOUT Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain has a way of creeping into parts of the day you never thought about. Grabbing the seatbelt. Hauling groceries out of the trunk. Slinging the dog leash over your shoulder. It might quiet down by lunch, then come back when you reach for something on a shelf. A sharp catch swinging your arm forward. A dull burn from the shoulder down into the upper arm. A weak feeling that was not there a year ago. Most folks push through this for weeks. Some for months. Orthopedic care at Modern Medicine of Phoenix, AZ digs into what is going on inside the joint, the muscles around it, and the way the shoulder gets used all day. From there, a plan gets built to bring the shoulder back to regular life.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

You may not know specifically what type of treatment you would require. What you do know is that you hurt, and right now that’s really what is most important. To better know how to serve you, please take a few minutes to fill out this brief form describing the discomfort or pain you are experiencing. With a clearer idea, we will contact you to discuss what may be occurring and how we may be able to assist.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If you are experiencing severe pain that is not intolerable, don’t wait. Call 911 or proceed directly to your nearby hospital. When the emergency is treated, we will then be prepared to work together to assist you in gaining longer-term relief.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe your pain isn’t keeping you back, but it is making daily living a bit harder than it has to be. If it’s sharp, annoying, or keeps coming back, let us know what you’re dealing with. We can start together to investigate why it’s happening and how we can make it better.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Minor aches may not seem significant, but sometimes they are your body’s way of telling you it needs a helping hand. The stiffness, soreness, or occasional pains are great things to bring to our attention. Let us know what you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll point you in the direction of care that prevents small issues from turning into large ones.

Answering Your Questions

Why does shoulder pain get worse at night?

The shoulder loses support when you lie down. The joint slides into positions that press on stuff that is already inflamed. Side sleepers get the worst of it. If pain is waking you up more than a couple nights a week, the shoulder is past the fix-itself stage.

Can stress or posture make shoulder pain worse?

Yep. More than people expect. Stress tightens the neck and shoulder muscles. Bad posture pulls the joint into spots it was not made to sit in for hours. Both feed pain that started somewhere else.

What if the pain comes and goes?

Super common. Pain that fades for a week, then jumps back with one wrong reach, usually means the shoulder is unstable underneath. The body is finding ways around it. At some point those ways run out. Catching it during the quiet weeks makes recovery a lot easier.

Will I have to give up the stuff I like to do?

Almost never long term. A few things might get paused or tweaked while the shoulder settles. The goal is to get you back to what you care about. Golf, pickleball, lifting, gardening, all of it.

How do I know if the shoulder is actually getting better?

The small stuff gets easier without you thinking about it. Pulling on a jacket. Grabbing something from the back seat. Sleeping through the night. Pain matters, but function usually tells the truth faster.

"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

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
