What more fun is there on a hot, Tonawanda summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Tonawanda folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from afar. Which is safer? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets hurt. And it does! A new research report explains that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical writings before, but Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows it’s seen in this Tonawanda chiropractic practice’s patient group. The tailbone is properly called the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may develop into coccygeal instability and pain. (1) Just as with the rest of the spine, the coccyx has discs and dorsal root ganglia, too. DRG stimulation eases pain and increases function without any complications for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care of coccyx pain is physical therapy and pharmacological treatment. Adding manipulation reduced pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 treatments. (3) If Tonawanda summer’s water fun hurts you, turn to your Tonawanda chiropractor! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Tonawanda tailbone pain.
