PRESS RELEASE: Wyoming’s McGinley Clinic Gains National Spotlight with Indy NXT Sponsorship
A Destination for Elite Athletes Seeking Cutting-Edge Orthopedic Care
A Wyoming-based medical clinic is making waves on the national and international stage, drawing top-tier professional athletes to Casper and Gillette for world-class orthopedic treatment. The McGinley Clinic, founded by renowned physician Dr. Joseph McGinley, has built a reputation for revolutionary, minimally-invasive treatments for common orthopedic problems—and now, its name will be showcased at the highest levels of motorsports as the title sponsor for Indy NXT Team Andretti racer Lochie Hughes.
From Casper to the Indy NXT Circuit
Hughes, the reigning USF Pro 2000 Champion, recently signed with Andretti Global, one of the most prestigious teams in motorsports. However, his rise to the top almost didn’t happen. In late 2023, Hughes struggled with severe arm pump, a condition that threatened his career as the demands of high-speed racing intensified. Searching for a solution, he turned to The McGinley Clinic, where Dr. McGinley’s minimally-invasive approach allowed him to recover quickly and dominate the 2024 season.
"Going into the 2024 season, I was struggling with severe arm pump, which at the time was a genuine threat to my racing career, especially as the cars were getting bigger, faster, and more demanding on the body. I was fortunate to come across Dr. McGinley and The McGinley Clinic, who provided minimally-invasive treatment and got me back on track with little downtime.
This was instrumental in my 2024 championship campaign, where I secured the USF Pro 2000 championship and a scholarship to race in Indy NXT, with Andretti Global. After our success both on and off the track in 2024, I couldn't be happier to be working with The McGinley Clinic this season and am proud to have them on board as my title sponsor."
— Lochie Hughes

PRESS RELEASE: Lochie Hughes Endorses The McGinley Clinic After Successful Treatment for Arm Pump
Casper, Wyoming – March 22nd, 2024
Lochie Hughes, 2022 Formula 4 champion driver and current leader in the Road to Indy
USF Pro 2000 series, has officially endorsed The McGinley Clinic following his successful
treatment for arm pump. Hughes, the current points leader and 2023 Rookie of the Year,
sought treatment at The McGinley Clinic located in downtown Casper, Wyoming, after
experiencing arm pump issues impacting his performance on the track.
Arm pump, a condition affecting blood flow in the forearm, is a common concern for
athletes like Hughes. Traditionally, treatments involved invasive surgeries. However,
Hughes discovered a minimally invasive solution offered only at The McGinley Clinic,
allowing him to return to his sport in just two days.
"I'm thrilled to endorse The McGinley Clinic after experiencing firsthand the incredible
results of their treatment for arm pump," said Lochie Hughes. "Their approach not only got
me back behind the wheel faster but also improved my performance on the track."
"This patented procedure uniquely treats arm pump by injecting botulinum toxin into
impinging muscles to release the blood flow. It’s an in-office procedure using imaging
guidance. I am thrilled with Hughes’, and so many other motorsport athletes’, results,"
remarked Dr. Joseph C. McGinley, who has treated this condition over a thousand times.
The McGinley Clinic's unique approach to treating arm pump and other common
orthopedic problems has garnered national attention for its effectiveness and efficiency.
The clinic's collaboration with Hughes marks a significant milestone in their commitment
to supporting athletes in achieving peak performance.

Press Release: Minimally Invasive Approach Diminishes the Need for Arm Pump Surgery
While most patients seek treatment for CECS and PAES in their calves, the condition can occur in the forearm as well. Forearm exertional compartment syndrome, otherwise known as “arm pump”, is a common problem in athletes that ride or race motorcycles. That said, it can occur in others who do not ride. Arm pump is when the intensity of tightness and pressure increases in the forearm with exercise. It can impede the ability to grip handlebars and remain competitive. The only remedy is to relax and back off activity. “Arm pump is an inflow/outflow problem of blood in the forearm muscles. The forearms are made up of several groups of muscles responsible for the gripping motion of the finger and hands. The forearm muscles are arranged in groups separated by a tight layer called “fascia”. As pressure builds, the muscles press against the fascia causing pain and pressure,” Dirt Bike Rider Magazine. “Arm pump is caused by restriction of blood leaving the forearm. As the forearm muscles contract, they become enlarged and engorged. The contracting muscles compress the veins causing pressure in the muscles,” reports Dr. McGinley. Most riders experience arm pump at some point. Only when symptoms are severe does it require treatment. Dr. McGinley developed a patent procedure called the MVP Treatment to address arm pump with a minimally invasive procedure. Just like in the calves, Dr. McGinley uses advanced MRI, ultrasound and CT imaging to identify the exact site of compression. He then injects botulinum toxin (commonly known as BOTOX) into a small segment of muscle that is compressing blood flow. The muscle is locally paralyzed allowing blood flow to resume normally. “MVP Treatment is much less invasive than traditional surgical remedies, has a much shorter recovery time and less associated risk,” Motocross Action Magazine. The patient is able to walk out of the office immediately after the procedure is completed. You can learn more about the MVP treatment in this podcast with Enduro Racer - James Stearns.
Student Presentation: Carpal Tunnel Release with Ultrasound Guidance
Study by Grace Nicholas.
"Several studies have documented the potential advantages of CTR-US, but few have reported clinical results of CTR-US using local anesthesia (WALANT) and objectively documented post-operative changes using MRI. The primary purpose of this study was to report intermediate-term outcomes (3-6 months) following CTR-US using WALANT, including a subset of patients with pre- and post-CTR MRI scans."
This was presented at the WWAMI Research Exposition at the Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, WY on November 8, 2021.
Student Presentation: Sequential Intrarticular Corticosteroid And Hyaluronic Acid Provides Significant Knee Osteoarthritis Symptom Improvement
Study by Bret Andrew:
"Pain related to knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and growing presentation to medical facilities. Intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections along with intraarticular corticosteroid injections represents a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment option. In rare cases, the use of hyaluronic acid has resulted in pseudo sepsis. Our study evaluated the efficacy of combined corticosteroid and HA injection in treatment of pain associated with knee OA. In addition, we hypothesize that corticosteroid preceding HA injections can reduce the incidence of pseudo sepsis."
This was presented at the WWAMI Research Exposition at the Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, WY on November 8, 2021. Mr. Andrew won the first prize award: "American College of Physicians-Certificate of merit in recognition of 1st place ACP Wyoming Chapter Medical Student Poster Competition". Congratulations!
