OVERVIEW

ABOUT SPORTS MEDICINE

Sports injuries are rarely just about pain. They interrupt routines, seasons, and momentum. A rolled ankle stalls training. A sore shoulder that turns your serve tentative. Knee pain that makes stairs feel like a workout. At Modern Medicine of Surprise, AZ, our job is to find the reason behind the pain and map the fastest, safest path back. That starts with listening. When did it begin? What makes it flare? What have you already tried? Those details shape the plan.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Scheduling is easy. Call Modern Medicine of Surprise, AZ, or use our online option. We will explain what to bring, how long the first visit takes, and whether you might need imaging or clearance notes for school or work.

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Most athletes need more than one visit. Early sessions calm symptoms and restore simple movement. Later visits build strength, power, and confidence so the fix actually holds up in practice and competition.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

The first appointment is part conversation, part movement screen. We check range of motion, strength, balance, and how you load during sport-like tasks. If needed, we coordinate X-ray or MRI to rule out fractures or deeper tissue damage.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment is built around your sport. We use targeted strengthening, mobility work, and hands-on care to calm irritated tissue and restore clean patterns. As pain settles, we progress to change-of-direction drills, deceleration practice, and sport-specific tasks.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Follow-ups keep progress steady and honest. We review training logs, adjust loads, and answer the what-ifs. If pain pops up during the ramp, we tighten the plan and keep you moving forward. Most setbacks are small when they are caught early.

What Are You Experiencing?

You don’t need to know the exact name of what’s going on and most people don’t. What matters is how it feels to you. Use the short form to tell us, even if it’s just “my back hurts when I wake up” or “it feels like a sharp pinch.” Once we see it, we’ll give you a call to talk things over and figure out some next steps together.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If the pain is so bad you can’t think straight, please stop here and call 911 or go to the hospital. Getting safe is the first step. When you’re ready afterward, we’ll be here to talk about longer-term help.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This kind of pain might not knock you down, but it makes life harder than it should be. Maybe it’s a stabbing pain when you move a certain way, or maybe it’s a dull ache that just won’t quit. Write it down as best you can. That’s all we need to get started.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Little things add up, too. A stiff neck, sore knees, or that nagging twinge you keep brushing off all matter. Share what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you keep it from becoming something bigger.

Answering Your Questions

Can I keep training while I rehab?
Often yes, with limits. We keep you active by swapping painful drills for safe ones and trimming volume where needed. Training smart beats stopping cold, and it protects your headspace during recovery.
Do I need a referral to start?
Many athletes can book directly with Modern Medicine of Gilbert, AZ. If your insurance or school requires a referral, we will help you sort it out before your first visit so there are no surprises.
How fast can I return to my sport?
Timelines depend on the injury and your starting point. Sprains and tendon pain may calm in weeks. Bone or ligament problems can take longer. We move as fast as your body allows without risking a repeat injury. Fast is good. Durable is better.
What if my X-ray or MRI was normal, but I still hurt?
That is common. Imaging does not measure control, fatigue, or timing. We treat what the tests miss by improving strength, mobility, and mechanics, so the pain has fewer reasons to stick around.
Do you work with youth and weekend athletes?
Every day. We see club players juggling tournaments, adults chasing PRs, and parents trying to stay active without paying for it later. The plan changes with the person, not just the diagnosis.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

Josh Adams

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
