My daughter was doing back walkovers and didn't kick hard enough on one, had all her weight over her shoulders but not enough momentum, and everything came down on her back hard and she hyper-extended her back. I have taken her to the pedi-chiropractor and there is no injury beyond lumbar hyper-extension. She has been going three days per week for three weeks now and avoiding doing all lumbar extension type moves (walkovers, bridges, backbends). When I gave the coach the doctor's note, she took her off all tumbling except cartwheels, round-offs, and handstands and it is driving my daughter nuts. Even after three weeks of therapy, a bridge will still cause her pain but now she is frustrated and said she would rather work through the pain then be forced to work on nothing but handstands, cartwheels, and round offs. The other downside is my insurance is bucking paying for the chiropractor, even though it is clearly stated in our policy that they pay with a $25 co-pay. We are not rich, not even close, and I fundraise like crazy just so my daughter can be involved in sports. We are in the poor house just from paying the $25 co-pay and can't afford to take her any longer. Any advice on what to do at this point? How long does this type of injury take to heal?
and lay low. you and your husband pay the bills and backs can become a serious problem.
