Last day at WakeOrtho! I went into the office at Brier Creek to shadow the two PT’s that work there. Kimberly Potter and Luke Hudson have been working there for many years and are experts who doctors frequently refer their patients to. I was observing a patient who had a hamstring injury and had to have dry needling done on him so that he could be ready for football camp in the next 3 weeks. Dry needling is a technique used by Physical Therapists that involves the use of small needles that are inserted into different muscles to treat pain and movement impairments. I wrapped up my morning at PT and drove to the North Raleigh office to shadow the trauma and general Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Harris. It was a great last day and enjoyed these past two weeks with WakeOrtho!
