Huntersville North Carolina is such a beautiful place to visit. I was out visiting my sister with my son and we took to the city like we had owned it before. The restaurants were pretty good, you could tell that the food scene was on the up. There wasn’t a lot for kids to do and that surprised me. We ventured on over to Charlotte to an indoor trampoline park called Defy Gravity Charlotte. We jumped for hours, ate, played games, and really enjoyed our time together. We made it back to my sisters' place in Huntersville before dark. We were able to spend a little more time outdoors before the sunset. My son was playing basketball with some of the neighbor boys, they acted like they were the Charlotte Hornets basketball team from the 90’s. As my son went for a block he must have pulled a muscle or slipped a disk in his lower back. He was hurt, but not bad enough to justify a trip to the emergency room. We ended up contacting the best Chiropractor Huntersville NC had available, and he told us there were potentially multiple options depending on the severity of the back injury. They also offered acupuncture in addition to general Chiropractic care. We were only visiting for a few more days so the Dr’s appointment had to be an efficient way to diagnose the back injury without the need for local treatment. We knew when we returned home he would see his general practitioner to give a second opinion on his back. We showed up for an initial look at his back and were surprised to hear that an ice bath and some heat treatment would potentially rid my son of his back pain. After we returned home we made an appointment with our general practitioner and was in the office a few days later for our exam. Turns out he had a ruptured disk in his lower back which was much more of a concern than a pulled muscle. The ruptured disk would go on to have an impact on his summer. He often felt limited about what kind of physical activity his back could handle before falling in excruciating pain. He was limited to outside activity and spent the back end of his summer on the couch watching Netflix. Next year when we go back to Huntersville to visit we will probably stay clear of Charlotte and any trampoline parks around there. Well, the school year kicked off and he was wanting to play football. I wasn’t going to allow it right after a summer ending disk injury. Baseball season was around the corner and if his back healed properly he would be ready. As a parent you try to reason with them while they are sick, sometimes you just gotta lay down the law or they won’t listen. It was really better this way, otherwise, he would have been riding, climbing, and biking with a back problem at a young age. Adolescent chiropractic care at a young age worries me, their spines and disks are so vulnerable that I just don’t like anyone making adjustments to his back. I was lucky to have found Doyle Chiropractic and their team of professional chiropractic technicians to not only care for him temporarily but to provide me with a sense of relief as I worried the night away about his recovery. Thanks to all that helped, your efforts did not go unappreciated.
