OVERVIEW

ABOUT SPINAL & DISC REHABILITATION

Spinal and disc rehabilitation focuses on patients who live with ongoing back or neck issues that refuse to fade on their own. For certain patients, the issue is low-back pain following standing. For other patients, it is a shooting pain that runs downward the leg or arm and makes movement more cumbersome than it needs to be. These issues affect sleep, posture, and daily functioning. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, physical therapy of the spine and discs is about the identification of what is causing the pain. Weak supportive muscles, jammed-up joints, irritated discs, or poor movement habits are common culprits. Treatment includes strengthening of the core muscle group, stretching, movement education, or manual therapy. Progress is individually designed uniquely toward a patient, but slow effort works toward reversing loss of function and transcending movement fear.

Recovery usually takes a series of visits. Sessions are spaced out weekly so the body has time to adjust, and results build gradually.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

Your first appointment includes an evaluation of posture, flexibility, and core strength. This step helps identify what’s driving the discomfort.

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment can involve mobility drills, strengthening exercises, stretching, or manual therapy. The approach changes as your body responds to care.

This is our go to place for all physical therapy! We have been coming here for at least 3 years now for my daughter’s sports injuries from dance. They also do imaging so it is a 1 stop clinic. We have been very pleased with the results but what’s set them apart is the staff. They take their time to explain everything to you, take their time with the therapy and treat you like family. We highly recommend them to everyone we know!

Anyone looking for a PT team look no further. I had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery mid-September. Physical Therapy was recommended after week 4 post surgery. My journey to find the right fit began and ended at Modern Physical Therapy in Gilbert. I was looking for a ‘team’ that would partner with me so I would receive the best, safest and most effective care/results possible knowing that my recovery would not be easy or a quick fix. My treatments began the beginning of October with Ben and Drey who are great listeners, are extremely accomplished with all types of needs and have been an amazing part of my team. Equally as important are the girls who are at the front desk. The girls are first to welcome you, accommodate your schedules while making appts, and answer any questions you may have with insurance etc. I highly recommend Modern PT and their entire team!!

Modern PT is excellent. They are very supportive and really do a good job with therapy. The whole staff is very kind. They take 1 hour and run on time which I really like. I appreciate their treatments. I feel much better after a hard surgery.magnam.

What Are You Experiencing?

It's likely you don't know what serviecs you need and only know that you are experiencing pain. To help us figure out how to help you, fill out this short form about the pain and discomfort you are experiencing. We'll contact you shortly to discuss what might be the cause of your pain issues and how we might be able to help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels unbearable or you can’t think straight, please don’t wait; call 911 or head to the hospital right away. Get the urgent care first. Once you’re safe, we’ll be here to help with the next steps.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This is the kind of pain that doesn’t stop you completely, but it makes every day harder. Maybe it’s sharp. Maybe it’s dull and won’t let up. Write down what it feels like. We’ll go over it with you and start figuring out what’s behind it.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even the small stuff matters. A stiff back in the morning, sore joints after work, or little aches that keep showing up are all worth paying attention to. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you stay on top of it before it gets worse.

Answering Your Questions

What conditions can spinal and disc rehab help with?

Therapy is often used for stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and herniated discs. It is also used by those with chronic stiffness or previous injuries. Every person is distinct, which is why it is patient-specific. This leads to better and longer results.

Is treatment only effective for serious back problems?

None. Often, patients come in before the pain is extreme. Early treatment often prevents small issues from ballooning and decreases the chances of eventual damage. Even minimal pain is a sign that something is awry.

What happens during the first sessions?

Initial visits will often cover gradual movement and general strengthening. This is so that therapists can determine how your body reacts and can safely make changes. Progressing once strength is gained involves introducing more complex exercises or methods. This gradual approach makes progress consistent and not so overwhelming.

Can therapy help with nerve pain like sciatica?

Yes. When pressure is reduced on the offended disc and strength is gained in local muscles, treatment makes irritation diminish. Patients report reduced tingling, reduced burning, and increased comfort when walking, sitting, or sleeping. Mobility and stabilization complement each other.

Is spinal rehab safe for older adults?

Yes. Treatment is designed with comfort and safety. For older adults, treatment may include gentle strengthening, balance training, and stretching. This is always about maximizing movement and never about introducing harm. It is often found to keep older adults independent longer.

"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

Your PT

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
