OVERVIEW
When inflammation keeps hanging around, pain can start controlling your day. Steroid injections can help by calming inflammation in a targeted area. They do not rebuild cartilage, and they do not repair a tear. They can reduce the “hot and irritated” feeling, so you can move with less guarding and actually benefit from rehab. Many people think of injections as a last resort, but for some, it’s a useful step when a flare won’t settle with rest, ice, and basic home care. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of South East Tucson, AZ, we treat an injection as one piece of the plan.

You’ll start with an evaluation first, then we decide if an injection fits your situation. If you move forward, we plan rehab around your response so you don’t feel better for a day and then flare again. Timing depends on the area treated and what your day-to-day activity looks like.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We look at when symptoms show up, like stairs, walking, reaching, sitting, or sleeping, and we check how you move during those basics. If you have imaging, we review it, but we match it to what you feel and what we see.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
If an injection fits, we coordinate it as part of your plan and pair it with therapy. We work on motion, strength, and the daily habits that keep the area irritated. Relief is helpful, but we still ramp you back up in steps.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
We check how you feel over the next days and weeks. If relief is short or incomplete, we adjust and talk next options. If it helps, we focus on making it last.

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
How do I know if I’m a good candidate, or if I should try something else first?
We look at your pattern. Swelling, night aching, stiffness after sitting, and flares after activity often point to inflammation. Catching, giving way, or nerve-type symptoms may point us in a different direction.
What does “targeted” mean, and why does it matter?
It means the medication goes into the exact joint or irritated tissue we believe is driving the pain. A knee or shoulder can hurt for more than one reason. The target matters if you want the shot to actually help.
What should I do the first week if I start feeling better?
Keep your activity steady and simple. The common mistake is doing a big cleaning day or long walk because you finally feel good. We’ll give you a step-by-step ramp so you don’t flare again.
Can a steroid injection help if my pain is mostly from tendon irritation?
Sometimes, but not always. Many tendon issues improve most with the right strengthening and load changes. We’ll tell you if an injection makes sense for your specific case.
What if I’m nervous about side effects?
That’s fair. Some people feel temporary soreness or a short flare, and blood sugar can rise briefly in people with diabetes. We’ll review your history and talk through what to watch for.
