OVERVIEW
TMJ pain has a way of creeping in slowly. It can start as tightness while eating or a small click you barely notice. Then chewing feels harder. Yawning hurts. Your jaw may lock for a moment or your neck feels tense by the end of the day. Many people in Sun Lakes deal with TMJ from clenching, stress, or posture strain. At Get Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Sun Lakes, AZ, we focus on calming irritated muscles, restoring jaw motion, and lowering daily pain. We measure opening range, side shift, and pain levels at each visit, so progress is clear and consistent.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS
Making an appointment is easy. You can call or use our online form, whichever is better for you. We keep scheduling simple. Before your first session, we’ll explain what to expect and how to get ready.

Most patients start with one or two sessions a week. As the jaw loosens and pain fades, visits space out. A full plan usually lasts four to eight weeks. This will change depending on how long symptoms have been present. We check your progress each time and adjust treatment to match your needs.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We speak with you to know when the pain started, how often it happens, and what triggers it. We measure your jaw opening in millimeters and check how smoothly it moves. The neck and shoulders are tested too, since they often add tension.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
Treatment typically begins with soft tissue release for key muscles around the jaw and face. This is because gentle mobilization improves motion and relieves pressure. We also share some simple home drills like tongue resting, jaw relaxation, and posture resets.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
Follow-up visits help you keep progress steady. Each one includes new measurements and small updates to your plan. As movement improves, we add light strength and control work to stabilize the joint.

I had an excellent experience at this facility. I didn’t know what to expect, and my arm/shoulder was really hurting. The therapists, the assistants, and the receptionist were all so friendly and put me at ease. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed going to PT! They were all very professional and knowledgeable, and worked so well together as a team. My arm is back to normal again and I’m so thankful I found them.

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.
LOW HIGH
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.
