KST A to Z
Gymnastics accident
Dana Tankell, DC
San Diego, California
A desperate mom called me saying that her gymnast daughter just hurt herself on bars and wants to see me right away. It was after office hours so I told her to fly.
When she arrived, her daughter was having trouble tracking, had a headache, and her neck was swollen - signs of a concussion.
I did an ocular lock pattern, adjusted left sphenoid and right temporal as she was looking down. I rechecked her tracking and even her mother noticed it had cleared, and color came back to her face.
