OVERVIEW

ABOUT FOOT & ANKLE REHAB

Foot and ankle pain has a way of getting into everything. A walk around the block feels like a chore. Standing at the sink to do dishes leaves your feet burning. Golf, pickleball, and even just walking the dog all feel harder than they should. Heel pain, tendon trouble, arthritis, sprains, or an old break that never healed right, any of it can slow you down. And if it sticks around, the pain doesn’t stay in your feet. It creeps into your knees, hips, and even your back.

At Modern Medicine of Sun Lakes, AZ, we’re not handing out band-aid fixes. We figure out what’s really behind the pain. Weak muscles. Stiff joints. Poor balance. Could be one. Could be all three. Rehab might mean stretching, strength work, hands-on treatment, or balance training so you’re not worrying about every step.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Simple. Call Modern Medicine of Sun Lakes, AZ, or grab a spot online. We’ll walk you through what to bring and get you set for the first visit.

One session won’t cut it. Most folks need a few weeks of steady work. That’s how progress sticks instead of disappearing the minute therapy stops.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

That first visit? We’re looking for answers. We’ll test your strength, flexibility, and balance, and we’ll watch how you walk. The little things, like how your foot lands, how you shift weight, usually tell the story.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment looks different for everyone. Some need strength work. Some need stretches. Some need hands-on therapy to break up scar tissue or loosen stiffness. Your plan is yours, not a copy from someone else’s chart.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Orthopedic Experts

I highly recommend Modern Physical Therapy in Sun Lakes. Dr. McKenna Brown was my Physical Therapist. She was excellent and when I left, so did the pain I arrived with. Both of her Techs, Laurence and Brayden were great. They all work together like a well oiled machine. It was easy to tell that everyone there, including Jake PT were all good at their jobs. It was always a pleasure to be greeted by Lexi at the front desk. Needless to say I was kind of sorry I had leave but I plan on stopping by to say hello from time to time.

I’ve had such a positive experience here! The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. They know every patient by name and remember the details of your care. They work together seamlessly to make sure you feel supported, confident, and prepared—both in sessions and at home. They’ve also been super flexible with my work schedule. I was nervous going in based on past PT experiences, but this team completely changed that. Highly recommend!!!!

With the help of Dr. McKenna Brown and her staff, I was able to regain my mobility and get back to my normal routine. She was patient, understanding, and encouraging, and I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. Jake and all the staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for the amazing care they provided.

What Are You Experiencing?

Most people don’t walk in knowing the exact treatment. They just know something hurts. That’s enough. Use the short form to tell us what’s going on, even if it’s just “my back feels tight” or “this pain won’t leave me alone.” Once we get it, we’ll give you a call and talk through what might be happening and how we can help.

SEVERE PAIN

If the pain is so strong you can’t think straight, don’t wait. Call 911 or get to the hospital. Your safety comes first. Once that’s handled, we’ll be here to focus on the next steps with you.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This kind of pain doesn’t always stop your day, but it makes everything harder. Some describe it as sharp, others say it’s dull and always there. However you explain it, just write it down. We’ll use that to start figuring out what’s going on.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Little aches may seem easy to ignore, but they add up. A stiff shoulder in the morning, sore feet after work, or that one spot that acts up every now and then, they matter too. Tell us what you’ve noticed, and we’ll help you get ahead of it.

Answering Your Questions

Why do my heels scream after I’ve been sitting?
That sharp pain after rest is classic plantar fasciitis. Therapy works on the tight tissue that causes it, so standing up isn’t such a shock.
Can therapy really help an old ankle sprain?
Yes. Sprains don’t always heal right. That’s why ankles stay wobbly. Rehab builds strength and balance so you’re not rolling it again on a crack in the sidewalk.
Does this mean I can avoid surgery?
Many times, yes. Getting stronger and moving better eases pain enough that surgery isn’t needed. And if you do need surgery, therapy makes recovery smoother.
Do I have to get a referral first?
Not usually. Most people can call and set it up. If your insurance needs paperwork, we’ll help you take care of it.
I like walking for exercise. Can I keep doing it?
Usually yes. We may tweak how much or how often, but the goal is to get you back to walking without wincing.

MODERN MEDICINE
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

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

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.
