OVERVIEW
Some pain feels like a flare that keeps reloading. You do a normal day, and it bites back. Your knee gets puffy after a short walk. Your shoulder is fine all day, then throbs once you lie down. Steroid injections can help when inflammation is the main reason things stay irritated. They don’t rebuild cartilage, and they don’t repair a tear. They calm inflammation in one targeted spot, which can make it easier to move without bracing and easier to get something out of therapy. At Modern Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine of Tucson, AZ, we use injections as a reset, then we focus on strength, mobility, and better mechanics so the flare is less likely to return.

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT
You’ll start with an evaluation first, then we decide if an injection fits. If you move forward, we plan therapy around your response so you don’t feel better briefly and then flare again.
DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We start with your story and a movement exam. We look at triggers like stairs, walking, reaching, sitting, and sleep, and we watch how your body handles those basics.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
If an injection makes sense, we coordinate it as part of your plan and pair it with therapy. We work on motion, strength, and the habits that keep loading the sore spot, like how you climb stairs or how you lift and reach. If you get relief, we ramp you back up in steps so you don’t overdo it on the first good day.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
We check how you feel over the next days and weeks. If relief is short or incomplete, we adjust the plan and talk next options.

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.
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.
