djeowmom Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yes, there are Sports Medicine Physicians and Physical Therapists that focus primarily on dance injuries. I am not sure about in the Buffalo area, but suggest inquiring at your nearest children's hospital and your region's most prominent ballet company; and do some online searches as well.

lovemydancers Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Not sure which side of the Buffalo area you are on, but in Rochester Sue Callan Harris works with the Rochester City Ballet: http://www.chptusa.com/index.html If Rochester is too far, Sue may be able to provide an appropriate referral in your area.

balletart Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 CeeCee, I wonder how your DD is doing now? My 14 year old DD landed awfully and tore ligaments at class one month ago. We were with a doctor who's previous medical advice for ballet injuries was just fine and non-invasive. He advised a very natural approach this time because he thinks she is strong and has been a good healer in past....a month went by and we took her to a different specialist who works with dancers and have been given feedback that is nearly the polar opposite. We are meeting in a few days to discuss the MRI results. These days waiting are the hardest- my DD facing the possibility of a very long rehabilitation period. There are a lot of details not filled in here regarding specific medical advice (or lack there of), but I wonder what advice you might give me in processing the medical advice and how I might keep myself from crying over not seeing her dance this year. Hi Wallis. I realize your post is old. However, my DD has a similar diagnosis. I was wondering how your DD recovered and if there is any advice you can offer? Quote Link to post
