OVERVIEW

ABOUT X-ray

X-rays can help when pain keeps surprising you. You may feel okay sitting, then a sharp pinch hits when you stand. Your knee may tolerate a short walk, then stairs light it up. When symptoms keep changing like that, it is hard to know what is safe. An X-ray gives you something concrete to work with instead of guessing.

At Modern Medicine of Sun Lakes, AZ, we use X-rays to look at bones, joint spacing, and alignment. They can help spot arthritis changes, fractures, and other bone-related issues. They can also help explain why a joint feels stiff or why certain positions hurt. Clear images often lead to clearer next steps.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the clinic or schedule online. We will explain what the visit looks like and what to bring, so you know what to expect. Bring any prior imaging reports if you have them, since comparisons can help.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Many people get X-rays the same day as their evaluation. If you need more care after imaging, we map out a plan that fits your symptoms and your week. Some cases need only one visit, others need follow up.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We start with where you hurt and what sets it off, like walking, lifting, or reaching. Then we decide which views match your symptoms and the joint involved. If your pain pattern suggests a soft tissue issue, we talk through other options, too.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

After imaging, your provider reviews what the X ray shows in plain language. You will talk through next steps, like rehab, activity changes, bracing, or referral if needed. If you start care with us, we tie treatment to what hurts in daily life.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Follow-up depends on what the images show and how you feel. We track your symptoms, function, and what activities you want back. Then we adjust the plan so you keep moving forward without new flare-ups.

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

Do X-rays show muscles and ligaments?

No, X-rays focus on bones and joint spacing. If we suspect a muscle or ligament issue, we will talk about other tests.

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

Most of the time, no. Wear clothing that makes it easy to reach the area, like shorts for a knee or a loose top for a shoulder.

How long does it take to get results?

In many visits, your provider can review the images with you the same day. If we need a formal read, we will tell you when to expect it.

Is the radiation safe?

X-rays use a small dose and clinics follow safety steps. Tell us if you are pregnant or think you might be, so we can choose the right plan.

What if I already had X-rays somewhere else?

Bring the report or send it over if you can. We can often use recent imaging and focus the visit on the next steps.

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
