Chiropractic for the Performing Artist in Burnsville, MN

Don’t be surprised to see dancers and actors walking in and out of Skyline Chiropractic in Burnsville, MN. Karlynn Benson, D.C. was a professional dancer and understands the nature and needs of performing artists. Many dancers and other performing artists swear by chiropractic for helping them come back from an injury or remain injury free.

Practice, Repeat, Practice, Repeat            

Repetitive motion of any kind, whether it be typing, repeated dance move, running or horn movement can cause injury. Performing artists like dancers and musicians need to practice and repeat to perfect their performance. Your chiropractor can evaluate an injury and work with you to create balance.

Common injuries

Dancer’s often experience injuries in the foot, ankle, hip, knee and back. Jumps and landings are often the cause. Male dancers are more prone to injuries of the upper extremities from lifting maneuvers.

The popular TV Show “Dancing with the Stars” utilized the help of a chiropractor, so the show could go on. After the initial treatment, the dancers continued to utilize the helpful chiropractic treatments in order to maintain their strenuous rehearsal and performance schedule.

In fact, research suggests ballet is second to football as the most demanding activity, when looking at neuromuscular and psychometric parameters.

Finding relief

As with any treatment, finding help early will make the recovery much quicker. And, just as school athletes need to have an evaluation before starting a new season, performing artists should consider a chiropractic evaluation to assess any possible lingering issues. Skyline Chiropractic specializes in helping artists stay at on top.  

With treatment, the show will go on!
