Baseball is my dream sport. Since childhood, I wanted to be a baseball player, and won the tournament, and even become an international champion. Baseball is not very common in the UAE, but some schools and institutes already have a baseball team.
At my school, I was a member of the baseball team, but we weren’t really practicing, but most of the time we were playing as teams. One day, while playing, I got my shoulder hurt. I didn’t know exactly what happened, but I felt a strong pain in my right shoulder after throwing the ball. I couldn’t continue the game and went directly to the school clinic where the nurse helped me and gave me some painkillers, and the school management called my mom to come and pick me up.
My mom took me directly to the Novomed hospital, where our family doctor was waiting for us because my mom already called him for an emergency. He checked my shoulder and asked me how it got hurt, so I told him what happened. He ensured us that there is nothing dangerous, but just to make sure, he will need an X-ray screening for my shoulder. I did the screening and showed it to him, he said that there is no major injury, a small muscle strain and it can be treated easily.
He didn’t recommend any shoulder surgery, as my mom asked him if the surgery is needed. He then told us to visit the chiropractor in Dubai Novomed clinic, who will definitely help us. We went to see him, and took the X-ray with us, he checked it and then told me that 4 to 5 chiropractic sessions will be very beneficial and effective in reducing pain and treating the muscle strain.
I was happy to hear that, and he told me to start the sessions immediately because it will need time, and the early we start, the early we prevent any major problems. So I agreed, and my mom was okay with that too, and started my treatment like 2 hours per week after school, I stopped playing baseball until the doctor allow me to.
After around 1 month, I got back my full shoulder function, and I was allowed to get back to the baseball team at school.
