Day 5

Today Dr. Ashley Lake was back! The first patient we saw had dry needling done which was cool to see again, and Ashley used a different device for the electric current. The next patient didn’t want an extra observer, so Ashley had me read the post-op report of another patient coming in 5 days post-op who had surgery to repair his ACL. Although it was very confusing and had a lot of new terms, it was interesting to read and I got a vague sense of the procedure that was done. I then talked it over with Ashley to more fully understand what to expect. Another patient that came in was a young (middle school age) dancer, and it was cool to see Ashley giving her some of the same exercises she gave me when I got treated by her.
