Evaluation-guided medical options
Start by identifying what fits your concern
Physical Medicine at Gilbert Physical Medicine adds targeted medical options when muscle or joint pain is making it harder to move, progress, or fully benefit from other care. Any option begins with an evaluation and a discussion of fit, benefits, risks, and alternatives.
Current Approved Scope
Myofascial trigger point injections may be considered for tight, painful muscle areas that can create local or referred pain and limit comfortable participation in chiropractic care or therapy. Joint injections may be considered for appropriately diagnosed osteoarthritic or inflammatory joint conditions as part of a coordinated care plan.
These services are not right for every patient. Your provider will evaluate the source of your symptoms, review your health history, and explain whether an injection option fits your needs, including its potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
What the Process Includes
- Evaluate. Review the concern, relevant history, symptoms, and clinical findings.
- Discuss fit. Explain whether an option may be appropriate and review benefits, risks, and alternatives.
- Make an informed decision. Complete option-specific counseling and consent before proceeding.
- Follow the approved protocol. Preparation, aftercare, and follow-up depend on the exact option provided.
Coordinated When Appropriate
Physical Medicine may be coordinated with chiropractic care or another verified GPM service when the evaluation supports it. Listing a service does not guarantee candidacy. This page does not describe physician-led physiatry.
