OVERVIEW

ABOUT Spinal Rehab

Spinal pain can make you act like your back is fragile. You get out of bed slowly. You avoid the low shelf at the store. You hold your breath when you lift a pan out of the oven. After a while, you start moving less just to stay out of trouble.

Then it starts affecting everything else. You sit too long and feel stiff, but standing too long also feels bad. Sleep gets broken because you cannot find a comfortable spot. Driving turns into a countdown until you can stand up again. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Phoenix, AZ, spinal rehab gives you a clear plan and a steady pace. We help you move with more control so daily tasks feel safer and less stressful.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the clinic or schedule online. Wear clothes you can move in and bring any imaging reports or doctor notes you have. We listen first, then we do a few simple checks to guide the plan.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Most people start with one or two visits each week. Early visits focus on calming symptoms and getting you moving again. As things improve, visits spread out and you do more active work.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We narrow down what sets pain off and what calms it. We watch how you sit, stand, bend, and walk, plus spine and hip motion. If symptoms run into an arm or leg, we also check strength and nerve signs.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment fits what your body can handle that day. We work on mobility, core control, and strength with moves you use at home and at work. You leave with a short home plan that feels doable, even on busy days.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Each visit starts with a quick update on pain, sleep, and daily limits. We retest key movements so progress stays easy to see. Then we add small challenges so you can do more without a flare.

Orthopedic Experts

I have had a great experience with Dr. Patrick O’Brien . He is very thorough and takes time to explain the detail of every step in each exercise. I also appreciate that each office visit is truly one on one with him. And most importantly -after just one very first session- I felt tremendous relief from lower back pain that had been bothering me for 2 months. I’m grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him.

They are very skilled in their field; they incorporate practices that root out the pain or discomfort; they do a great job of crafting programs and exercises to solve the symptoms being experienced; their customer service is excellent; and, their facility is perfect for the individualized care a person wants. I'm so glad I found them for my particular issues, and I highly recommend them.

This is my 2nd stint at rehab with Dr Patrick. He’s very knowledgeable and works with you 1 on 1. I would never go to a cookie cutter P/T clinic ever again. I recommend him without reservation.

What Are You Experiencing?

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 or unbearable pain, 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 it hurt more after I sit for a while?

Sitting can tighten your hips and make your back do more work when you stand. You may also brace without noticing. We work on position changes and drills that make the first steps feel smoother.

What if my pain comes and goes?

This is to be expected. For most people, some days feel fine, then one wrong move sets it off. We look at your pattern and teach you how to respond early so it does not turn into a full flare.

Do I need to avoid bending and lifting?

No, but you may need to change how you do it for now. We teach a safer bend and a better lift, then we build tolerance slowly. The goal is to get you back to normal tasks.

What if symptoms travel into my leg or arm?

That can be nerve irritation. It does not always mean damage is getting worse. We test your signs and use graded drills to calm it down and build tolerance.

What is one small thing that helps at home?

Take a short walk, even five minutes. Then change positions often during the day. Do your home drill once, even if it feels easy. That steady practice adds up.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

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
