Campbell Clinic is a leader in musculoskeletal care. Its two new Tennessee-based locations are set to open in East Memphis, Arlington, and a third in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Located at 585 S. Mendenhall, the East Memphis location will open in June 2022. Located on Airline Road, the Arlington location will open in July 2022. Located on Goodman Road, the Olive Branch location will open in August 2022.
Campbell Clinic’s three new locations will be open Monday through Friday and will be staffed by Campbell Clinic physicians. The clinics will offer walk-in, urgent orthopedic care, X-ray, casting, and physical therapy services.
OTW spoke with Campbell Clinic CEO Daniel Shumate about the new clinics and plans for future expansion this year. Shumate told OTW, “We are always evaluating other areas of geographic expansion in an effort to continue to provide easy access to care for all of our current and potential patients.”
When we asked where Campbell Clinic is looking to expand next, Shumate enthusiastically replied, “Stay tuned!”
Campbell Clinic is the biggest orthopedic practice in West Tennessee and North Mississippi. The three new clinics will bring Campbell Clinic to a total of eight locations. This includes its current location in Southaven, Mississippi and the following Tennessee locations: Germantown, Collierville, and Midtown Memphis.
Campbell Clinic is focused on providing care to patients throughout the Mid-South region of the U.S. Expanding its reach via new locations enables it to further this goal.
Campbell Clinic Chief of Staff Frederick Azar, M.D. commented, “In order to further our commitment to delivering world-class orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care to those who need it most, we are growing our presence closer to where patients live and work.”
Dr. Azar continued, “Our desire to provide the highest level of care to our patients means expanding our footprint both locally and regionally.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
