OVERVIEW

ABOUT ORTHOPEDICS

At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Tucson, AZ, we treat orthopedic care by assisting individuals in moving better when even the simplest activity becomes hard with pain. Stiff joints that make mornings sluggish. A back that becomes rigid after prolonged sitting. Shoulders that lift more poorly than they once did. These issues can seep into daily life and alter your lifestyle. Orthopedic care addresses the overall picture. Our therapists integrate strengthening, mobility, and hands-on therapy to alleviate discomfort and enhance functionality.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Scheduling is easy. Call our Tucson office or arrange it online. We will walk you through what’s going to happen, address questions in advance, and ensure that when you come through the door, you feel comfortable.

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.

LOW HIGH

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

What types of patients benefit from orthopedic therapy?

Orthopedic therapy is used for many conditions like arthritis, joint pain, sprains, fractures, and recovery after surgery. We also treat athletes with sports injuries and adults who develop stiffness from years of wear and tear. Each plan looks different because no two bodies are the same. That’s what makes the results feel personal and lasting.

How does orthopedic therapy contribute to long-term mobility?

It does this through the correction of weakness and rigidity. By building up muscles around the joint, strain is reduced, and movement is enhanced through exercise in flexibility. In the long term, this balance allows the body more freedom of movement and with less risk of future injury.

What if I need to miss a session?

Missing a single appointment will not wipe out progress, but it does delay it. Recovery is built upon consistency. If one skips too frequently, it’s more difficult for the body to adjust. That’s why therapists work together with each person to get back on course promptly. Plans are adaptable, but constant participation makes outcomes more predictable.

Can orthopedic therapy replace surgery?

Occasionally, it can. When the issues of mobility or pain can be addressed through strengthening and non-surgical care, therapy can postpone or even obviate the need for surgery. At other times, it assists individuals in preparing for surgery such that recovery thereafter is easier. Either way, therapy is a gentle first step that frequently makes a huge difference.

How do therapists monitor progress throughout care?

Improvement is assessed in several ways. Tests of mobility, muscle strength, and report of pain assist in demonstrating where progress is occurring. Therapists also hear what patients say in practical terms — “I can walk further,” “I can sleep more soundly,” “I am not stiff in the mornings.”

"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

Without Advanced Imaging

Your PT

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

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.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN
