OVERVIEW
ABOUT ORTHOPEDICS
At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, orthopedic care focuses on the pains and limits that quietly shape your day. Some people come in with a sudden injury that set everything off. Others deal with long-term stiffness that keeps growing no matter how much they stretch or rest. Some feel sharp pain during certain movements. Others feel a dull ache that never fully leaves. These patterns can change how you walk, sleep, lift, or even sit. We help sort that out.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Appointments are simple to set up. Call Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, or send a request through the online form. Our staff talks you through the process and makes sure you know what your first visit will look like.

SCHEDULE
REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
Most orthopedic issues need a series of visits spaced across several weeks. Enough time to improve. Close enough together to keep the momentum steady.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
Your therapist watches how your body moves, where strength drops off, and which motions feel restricted. The goal is to find the actual source of the problem, not chase symptoms. Your treatment plan builds from that.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment shifts as your body adapts. Early sessions may calm irritation or restore basic movement. Later work builds strength, control, and more stable patterns so your joints and muscles feel supported.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Follow-ups keep things moving in the right direction. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, we review how you’re doing and adjust the plan so you don’t stall or slide backward.

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.

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 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
What conditions are treated with orthopedic therapy?
A wide range. Joint pain from daily life. Sprains from quick movements. Tendon irritation from overuse. Stiffness after injuries that never healed correctly. Post-surgical recovery when mobility feels stuck.
How does orthopedic therapy reduce pain?
Pain fades when the joint moves well and the surrounding muscles support it. Therapy helps calm irritation, build strength where the body needs it, and loosen areas that stay tense.
How is orthopedic therapy different from general physical therapy?
General PT can cover many areas. Orthopedic therapy stays centered on joints, muscles, and connective tissues. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, every session addresses the structures causing trouble and the movement patterns feeding into it. It feels more focused and practical.
How long before results show up?
It depends on the person and the issue. Some notice change within a few visits. Others need more time if the pain has been around for years. We track progress and update the plan so improvement doesn’t stall. Better movement, less tension, and smoother daily tasks are all signs things are working.
Is orthopedic therapy safe for older adults?
Yes, treatment is adjusted to comfort and ability. Gentle strengthening. Light mobility. Balance work when needed. It’s safe, manageable, and built to help you stay active without feeling pushed too far.
