Hit the Right Note with Dance Injuries at Texas Cell Institute

Just like a football player or a golfer, dancers have to take great care with their athletic bodies, and are very likely to experience at least one major injury during their careers. Some of the most common dancer injuries include:

·      -Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, particularly for dancers who do a lot of overhead lifts and falls.

·         -Lower Back Strain, especially for those who don’t have the best posture or a perfect technique in some movements.

·         -Meniscus Knee Tear, especially for those who perform a lot of twisting motions.

·    -Posterior Tibial Tendonitis, which is often experienced even from basic barre exercises.

·         -Achilles Tendonitis, which can happen to almost any kind of dancer. Performances on hard floors can exacerbate this issue.

·         -Posterior Ankle Impingement Syndrome, where the heel bone and the tissues of the back of the ankle compress and rub painfully.

While dancers know to vary their routines and performance areas to avoid these issues, it’s not always possible to keep your body from becoming injured when you are constantly putting it into motion to memorize routines.

Treatments at Texas Cell Institute

At Texas Cell Institute, we offer several therapies that can help cure some of these injuries, and get rid of the pain that a dancer feels. For example, with PRP therapy, Dallas dancers can have platelet-rich plasma from their own blood injected into damaged tissue, allowing the tissue to actually regenerate and form healthy new cells. This is perfect for issues such as tendonitis, where healthy tissue can create a stronger joint and reduce the pain of rubbing bones.

Another option at Texas Cell Institute is Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy. Dallas dancers with more serious injuries, or with chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other treatments, can have stem cells drawn from the hipbone, and then injected into the injured site. These stem cells will immediately begin forming new tissue, replacing the worn-down area or damaged tissue with healthy new cells that will create, basically, a brand new body part.

If you’ve ever wanted to turn back the clock and have your younger, healthier body back when learning a new dance routine, stem cell therapy or PRP therapy may be exactly the answer you were searching for.
