Search for Sports injuries, prevention and cure and you would find ample of data about the same. Hundreds of doctors and clinics available under the label 'Sports Physiotherapy'. But same is not the case with dance. Doctors who are there for dance injuries are specific to some places like Hollywood , Bollywood, major cities where dance shows are very common.
But dancers who put their whole lot of effort in same amount or may be more than a sportsperson are present all over the world. They practice hours to get the art perfect and communicate the feeling to the audience. Many get injured in the process, but they mostly do not get correct treatment.
Me, myself has been through this. I suffered a knee injury due to overuse or may be misalignment during rehearsals for a performance. I went through many physiotherapist, physicians, orthopaedist, and even sports physio. After my MRI, X-Ray, number of blood tests, and everything, I was told to take supplements and pain killers as medicines, was told some exercises for leg (which proved to be helpful too), but everyone asked me to leave dance for months. It was very sad feeling for me, somewhat depressing not to dance.
I started looking for some perfect solution that would heal me without asking me to leave dance. Then I got to know about very few doctors or clinics that actually heal in this way. But they were located at a place like Mumbai where Bollywood is. Me being in Delhi was again helpless and dependent upon time.
I hope all forms of dance would be so popular that solutions for dance injuries come up and heal everyone. Let's hope for the best.
