Back to school season is officially here! 📚🏈

The TOA team kicked off the new school year in the community, joining Christian Academy of Knoxville (TN) for their Back to School Bash on Thursday, August 6, followed by Clinton High School “Meet the Dragons” Back to School Event on Saturday!

We loved connecting with students, families, faculty, and staff while celebrating the start of another great school year. TOA is proud to support our local schools and the communities we serve — on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.

Investing in the people who invest in our students. 🍎

TOA was proud to sponsor Wednesday's Clinton High School In-service Luncheon, where Dr. Sean Grace and Dr. Chase Wilson shared practical insights on injury prevention, staying active, and the many ways faculty and staff can access orthopedic care.

At TOA, our commitment extends beyond student-athletes. We're here to help teachers, coaches, staff, and the entire community stay healthy, active, and doing what they love.

A knee fracture isn't always as obvious as you might think. While some happen during sports or high-impact accidents, others can occur after a simple fall or awkward twist—and the symptoms are often mistaken for a sprain or bruise.

Knowing what to look for and when to seek care can make all the difference in your recovery.

Read our latest article to learn the common signs of a knee fracture, treatment options, and when it's time to see an orthopedic specialist. ⬇️

One moment can change everything.

For Chris, it was hearing a "pop" in his knee. As someone who enjoys staying active, he knew he needed more than just time to heal... he needed the right care to help him get back to the life he loves.

After meeting with Dr. Wade Gobbell, Chris chose the BEAR® procedure, an innovative option for certain ACL injuries that works to preserve the body's own ligament rather than replacing it.

Watch Chris share his injury, recovery, and why choosing the right orthopedic team made all the difference.

Ready to get back to doing what you love? Schedule an appointment with Dr. Gobbell today. Please visit: https://www.toaeasttn.com/doctors/wade-c-gobbell-md/
