OVERVIEW

ABOUT FOOT & ANKLE REHAB

Foot and ankle pain has a way of ruining the basics. A quick stroll through the farmers’ market? Feels twice as long. Waiting in line for coffee? Your feet start aching before you even order. Hiking one of the Tucson trails you used to love? Forget it, the pain cuts the trip short. The issue could be any number of issues, including plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and arthritis. The issue is that leaving them alone long enough, and it’s not just your feet that suffer, but your knees, hips, and back, too.

At Modern Medicine of Tucson, AZ, we want more than a short-term fix. We dig into what’s really going on, including weak muscles, stiff tissue, bad movement habits, and poor balance. It could be one. Could be all. Rehab might mean strength work, stretching, balance training, or hands-on treatment to break up stiffness so you can move with less pain.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

It’s simple. Call Modern Medicine of Tucson, AZ, or book online. We’ll walk you through what to bring and make sure your first visit goes smooth.

This isn’t a quick patch. Most people need a handful of sessions across a few weeks. That’s how progress lasts instead of fading.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

First visit is about answers. We’ll check strength, flexibility, balance, and watch how you walk. Small things, like how your foot strikes the ground, can usually explain why pain sticks around.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

Treatment depends on what we see. For some, it’s strengthening. Others need stretching. A lot of folks do best with hands-on care to ease scar tissue or stiffness. Every plan is built for you.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

Where do I start with the praise for this Team of miracle workers... I had suffered from chronic lower back pain for the last 8 years due to 32 years of golf and upper back pain due to 13 years of sitting at a desk. I utilized a chiropractor for the past 7 years but the pain ALWAYS came back and I NEVER got better. One visit with Dr. Josh and two X-rays showed the problem was stemming from my foot and a collapsing arch—which my previous chiropractor NEVER took the time to explore and diagnose.

What Are You Experiencing?

You don’t have to have it all figured out by yourself. Most people just know that it hurts, not how to fix it. That’s enough. Fill out this simple form and let us know in your own words how it’s hurting. We’ll take a look and then give you a call in order to take you through what may be happening and how we may be able to help.

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain is severe and you cannot manage it, don’t wait. Call 911 or come directly to your local hospital. Attend to the emergency first. When you are in a place of safety and ready, we will have follow-up care and recovery available.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This type of pain will interfere with daily life. Sometimes it’s a sharp, aching type, sometimes it’ll just be a dull sensation. Either way, however, it’s a good idea to pay attention to it. Take note of how it feels, and we can go from there in figuring out what’s going on.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Even tiny aches add up. That sore back, muscle pains, or that pesky hurt you keep postponing do matter and could ruin your day. Let us in on what you’ve noticed, and we’ll collaborate to keep things from escalating.

Answering Your Questions

Why do my feet ache more after hiking?

Uneven ground puts more stress on weak spots. Therapy strengthens and trains your ankles to handle it better, so trails don’t leave you limping.

Can therapy help with flat feet?

Yes. It can improve strength and balance, which takes strain off your arches and joints. With the right program, many people notice less fatigue during daily walking and exercise.

What if I’ve already tried resting?

Rest helps for a bit, but doesn’t fix the cause. Therapy tackles the weakness or stiffness that rest alone won’t. That way, you’re not stuck in the same cycle of pain returning again and again.

Do I need a referral before starting?

Usually no. Most people can set up therapy right away. If your insurance requires it, we’ll help with the paperwork so you don’t waste time.

How soon will I notice improvement?

Everyone’s different. Some feel better after a couple of weeks. For others, it takes longer. When it comes to this type of treatment, the key is steady progress, not overnight results.

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
