I went in for some prolotherapy injections in my knee and they were so kind to me and incredibly informative. They walked me through what they were doing and why and were very comforting for someone who HATES needles. I will certainly be coming back in the future if I need it!

I can highly recommend Dr Carlson. I have had prolotherapy on several joints and PRP on my hip. Dr Carlson is professional and highly skilled in these procedures. He and his assistant, Cheryl, are friendly and caring and Dr Carlson explains every step.

When I have patients who have damaged joints or degenerative joint disease Dr. Carlson and TRSM is without question one of my strongest recommendations. Not only have I been helped personally by Dr. Carlson‘s treatments but many of my patients also have strong testimonies of exceptional results. I strongly recommend Dr. Carlson and TRSM. If you want this service done right and with the best outcomes this is the only choice to make.Doug Warner, DCJefferson City, TN

Dr. Carlson and his nurse Cheryl are amazing. I am a 67 year old woman .Since the year 2000 I have had trouble walking. I have tried every kind of coventential and holistic therapy available. I did not want to have knee replacement therapy. My knees and knee caps would go out of socket almost every week. After a series of blood platelet injections, I have been able to walk for 8 hours a day. My younger friends are having a hard time keeping up with me. I no longer fear traveling alone. I am truly blessed. Thank you Dr. Carlson and Cheryl.

Fantastic Doctor, fantastic Nurse, prolotherapy saved my life once and is working again. These are wonderful, skilled, caring people that offer a remarkable service. First did this innovative therapy with Dr. Carlsons Father, Dr. James Carlson after breaking my back in 1978. IT WORKS. Dr. J. Michael Carlson is even more skilled at these procedures than his Father was...and thats saying something!

Two years ago I was doing everything I could to avoid shoulder surgery and decided to try prolotherapy. I had three of my sessions before we ended up moving up Michigan, but Dr. Carlson thought I would be ok. For several months I really doubted him, but I can now say that he was right! I have no pain, even in the bitter cold Michigan winter! Best decision I ever made, thanks to the recommendation from my then PCP Dr. Chesney! Thanks to both of yall!

Dr. Carlson is an amazing physician. His talents combine incredible intuition & knowledge with 20+ years of experience...and as a cherry on top, he has a deep kindness that is genuine!I had a chronic neck/back injury that had been on/off for 8 years. Recently, I reinjured it & had more pain than ever. I was in extreme pain every time I held my kids. Two days after Dr. Carlson treated me with prolotherapy, Id describe my pain as 93% better. Ive continued to heal since then, and am so thankful that the Lord used Dr. Carlson to help me. Even if your pain is not extreme like mine was, Id recommend going. Its plastic surgery for your insides. :)

Dr Carlson and Cheryl have been wonderful and I feel like I have gotten my life back .. After having a severe Pilon Fracture three years ago,I have had moderate to severe pain daily.. After completing PRP and Prolotherapy sessions, I can now do most things with minimal to no pain. Cheryl and Dr Carlson have been fabulous .. They have both been professional as well as kind ,warm and compassionate.. . I have truly felt as though they were very concerned about helping me return to my daily activities..I feel both Blessed and Thankful to have found them. Thank you so much TRSM.. I can’t give this place enough stars for what they have done for me ...

After the folks at Tennessee Sports Medicine / Square One working with me through 3 painful hours I can finally walk normal and my pain is now manageable. These guys go above and beyond every time they work with me. I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dr. Carlson an my PT team. Reversing 10 years of damage is difficult and takes time but for the first time I know Im on the right track. Without Dr Carlson at TRSM & Tennessee Sports Medicine team Joseph,Sharon, Angela & Kate I would never have made it this far. Ive been to other physical therapist 3 times and the results have been minimal. This is the first group that forcused on my athletic goals and they are as committed to my recovery as I am.Forever grateful,Brandon M.

Dr. Carlson and Cheryl are such a blessing. They have quickly relieved me of tremendous pain, and were really good at listening and teaching.

STEM CELL UPDATE: Thursday I had the 5th and final stem cell treatment by Dr Carlson. I’m declaring it a success. The pain behind my knee that limited how far I could walk after 5-10 minutes is gone. Going up stairs I can lift my weight with ease with the treated knee. Going down stairs I don’t have to grip the hand rail. I’m steadier on my feet. However I do get pain below and adjacent to the kneecap. But the pain(tenderness) doesnt limit activity. The meniscus is 90% deteriorate. The treatment does not reproduce the meniscus but stem cell is headed that way. My other knee’s meniscus is 75% deteriorate and I’m considering having PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Theropy to stop the deterioration of that knee.Stem cell Theropy works really well on rotator cuffs, ACL, and bursitis because the tissue is just damaged, not worn away.

I went to TRSM because I was experiencing knee pain while running . The pain only got worse and I was forced to stop running . Dr Carlson examined my knee and suggested I do PRP . After the treatment I was back to running with no knee pain . Now a year later, still running with no knee pain . Thanks Dr C and staff
