Dr. Luke Bynum is a Physical Therapist and Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist practicing in Tupelo, MS and founder/lead instructor for United Dry Needling Education. Dr. Bynum is also trained in pelvic floor physical therapy from the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute. Dr. Bynum specializes in treating male pelvic pain and dysfunction with a particular interest in helping patients with testicular pain, penile pain, and abdominal pain.

 

Dr. Bynum is one of the few physical therapists in the southeast that utilizes ultrasound imaging as part of his pelvic floor treatments which allows him to perform more invasive procedures such as ultrasound-guided deep dry needling into areas that would otherwise be unsafe. Dr. Bynum also enjoys treating men diagnosed with prostate cancer and walking beside them on their cancer journey through pre-operative and post-operative rehabilitation with the ultimate goal of maintaining urinary continence. Ultrasound imaging is an amazing tool to assist with performing proper pelvic floor muscle contractions both before and after prostatectomy. Dr. Bynum also treats bowel dysfunction and rectal pain syndromes.
