Doonesbury Dear Dr Gott Injury Letter from senior dancer
An active 80 year old woman reports knee and back injuries from December 2007 incidents while dancing and bowling. Diagnosed spinal stenosis and damaged knee cartilage, she sought chiropractic and massage but faced financial barriers and was disappointed by an orthopedic visit that offered only a cortisone shot and no therapy referrals. She took it upon herself to continue care.
Seek sports medicine referral for knee care options
Readers advised to consult their primary care physician and orthopedic specialist to determine progression and possible non surgical paths. If appropriate, a referral to a sports medicine clinician may be pursued, with consideration of insurance coverage and access to physical therapy, hydrotherapy, or gym programs for seniors.
