Fortunate to serve in our local community
Sentara Therapy Center at Kitty Hawk began as a part time venture with the efforts of current Team Coordinator Trey Black, PT, DPT, Certified Orthopedic Specialist (OCS), CMTPT (dry needling certified specialist). Trey lives in Kill Devil Hills with his family, and was previously commuting to Elizabeth City in a senior physical therapist position at Sentara’s YMCA clinic. Once given the opportunity to branch out and serve his local community, he received incredible backing from the administrative and executive staff at Sentara Albemarle Medical Center. With Trey’s efforts, and additional support from local fitness centers (Momentum Fitness, CrossFit OBX, The Gym, Outer Banks Family YMCA and the Dare Center in Manteo) Outer Banks Physical Therapy, Clearview Chiropractic, many gifted local medical practitioners and Town of Nags Head, the clinic has grown into what it is today. Susan Spruill is exemplary in her management of our administrative needs, including, but not limited to, patient scheduling and insurance concerns. Dr. Claire Van Valkenburg has moved to this community and her role here with a like-minded desire to serve this community with her wealth of clinical and teaching experience. We are excited and blessed to offer our diverse services, which includes a comprehensive approach to various neurological and orthopedic conditions, from post-operative care to injury management, and prevention of surgery. Unique modalities include dry needling for chronic and acute muscle pain and related problems, as well as McKenzie spine treatment, and vast knowledge that allows patients to more quickly resume what THEY want to do with their bodies. We appreciate our community and are fortunate to live and serve here!
