STAR Physical Therapy

When Shane first started physical therapy with Katie at our Clarksville clinic in April, he was unable to walk or bear weight following an ankle fracture and surgery. Based on his symptoms, his treatment also focused on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), which was officially diagnosed just a few weeks ago.

Today was a major milestone as Shane walked into the clinic without an assistive device for the first time! 🎉

To continue progressing his nerve desensitization therapy, we incorporated a fun painting activity using paintbrushes, cloths, and finger paint on the affected area. His mom, Lee, came with him today, and our PT student, Olivia, joined in the fun! 🖌️🎨

We’re so proud of the hard work Shane has put into his recovery and the progress he continues to make. We can’t wait to see him reach his next milestone. Keep up the great work, Shane! 👏💙

FAQ Friday 👇

“Does Dry Needling hurt?”

Most people are surprised to find it doesn’t hurt much. The needles used are very thin, solid, and flexible. You might feel a quick pinch, followed by a brief muscle twitch or a deep ache. That’s actually a good sign it’s working.

Dry needling helps:
✅ Reduce muscle tightness
✅ Improve mobility
✅ Decrease pain

It’s a safe, effective technique used by our trained physical therapists to target the root of your discomfort.

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle pain, this could be a great option for you. Contact us at (615) 863-2760 or request an appointment https://nuvi.me/98q21o!
