    Off Topic I'm back but now a Doctor of Chiropractic

    It has been a good long time since I've been on this forum. I appreciate all of you who had previously given me advice on schooling. But it turned out I had a parent of one of my gymnasts talk about their Chiropractor. I knew the medical and surgical world was not for me. I also knew by...

    Parents Quarantine Over ... Back at Practice ... Wearing Ankle Brace like her doctor told her ... Ran into a problem

    So, we have been back in actual practice for 3 weeks (3 days x 1.5 hours). YG has been wearing her ankle brace religiously. On Tuesday, she told me her ankle is bothering her. Her brace isn't working. Can I buy her new plastic inserts for it? ?????? Why new inserts? Well, during quarantine...

    WAG Doctor accused of abusing 177 male students - the Nassar hearings inspired some to come forward

    Ugh. We knew it wasn't limited to girls or to gymnastics, but still so sad. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/17/724343147/ohio-state-doctor-sexually-abused-at-least-177-male-students-investigation-finds The reason I'm posting in the WAG forum is b/c I find it interesting that in this article a man...

    Parents Would you tell your DD if you thought the doctor was about to retire her from gym?

    She's had back problems on and off. Been to orthos and chiros and in PT various times. This time, x-rays show several issues, one of which is effectively the end of gymnastics (x-ray has been seen by ortho, radiologist, and another doctor, and diagnosis agreed upon by all). She's been...

    WAG What expertise for doctor?

    My 11 yr old L7 dd has pain at the top of her talus bone. She does not know how she hurt it. She can walk but it hurts if she runs or lands. Took her to the orthopedic. X-rays and MRI showed nothing. Did PT for 3 weeks with no improvement. Went back to the dr. and he referred us to a lower...

    Parents Doctor "clearance"

    What happens if no doctor technically clears your child to go back to gymnastics. What do you do then.

    WAG Doctor/chiropractor recommendations- shoulder/back

    Looking for ideas to help my daughters shoulder flexibility, it's hurting her back and her ability to do skills safely. She's doing some stretches at home, does anyone have a stretch checklist that helps? Also wondering if it's worth it to go to a chiropractor, what could they do?

    Parents Which doctor

    My YDD injured her arm/wrist about a month ago. She was seen by an orthopedist who cleared her to go back to practice after two weeks. She told us she should stay off rod floor for awhile but she'd be fine. Well, DD still has pain, even on the tumble trak, even on simple skills, even wearing her...

    Parents May need a doctor - Who to see?

    My DD hurt her wrist two weeks ago. It's not swollen, doesn't hurt during the day and is fine when taped, but it's still sore. I'm guessing the GP isn't the place to go. What kind of doc should I find? Ortho? Chiro? Something else that is sports specific that I don't know about? Thanks!

    WAG When to see a doctor

    I know there are many threads similar to this, but I haven't really heard if my situation before. For many years, I would occasionally get a sharp pain in the middle of my foot. This happened once every year or so, and the pain went away very quickly. I've always ignored it because of how rare...

    WAG Doctor Who Floor Music?

    I am obsessed with Doctor Who(in case the title wasn't enough).:) Does anyone know of some good floor music from the show? Obviously it want be breaking any copyright laws, and I would prefer it to be about a minute long. I have checked YouTube, but didn't find anything that met all the...

    WAG Coach and doctor different ....long thread

    I will pre-empt with warning I avoid posting as everything seems to end up being so long. If you make it through this I appreciate any feedback. DD had been complaining of hip pain a couple of months back while working kips and front walkovers. Her coaches had her back off those to let it...

    DD following doctor's orders, but coaches want her to be "more aggressive"

    My daughter suffered an injury to her knee in the early spring, and was out of gymnastics since March. After a full summer of PT, she was cleared by the doctor to go back on a modified schedule. Instead of going every day for three and a half hours, she goes M-W-Fr. she started out just going...

    Just got back from the doctor! Pretty good news!!!

If you dont remember I dislocated my elbow in October and then went through with switching doctors and had surgery in early May and even if it is only "simple" skills for the net 6...

    Going back to the doctor

    My DD is going back to the doctor this week for a foot fracture. Please wish us good luck that the her bone is healed, the cast can be removed, and we can start physical therapy. She has already missed 2 meets, and there are only 3 left before state. If she doesn't compete all around, she...

    For medical questions: Ask a doctor!

    Lately we have had a lot of threads here seeking medical advice. It is a bad idea to ask for medical advice on the internet, for a variety of reasons. First of all, most chalkbucket members are not licensed physicians. Second, those who ARE licensed physicians cannot diagnose you or recommend...

    Parents Doctor update...
