What more fun is there on a hot, Juneau summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Juneau folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will observe. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets damaged. And it does! A new research report makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not stated in the medical literature before, but Aurora Chiropractic Center knows it is found in this Juneau chiropractic practice’s patient population. The tailbone is formally named 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 improves function without any complications for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care of coccyx pain is physical therapy and medication treatment. Adding manipulation decreased pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who occasionally experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 sessions. (3) If Juneau summer’s water fun hurts you, go to your Juneau chiropractor! Aurora Chiropractic Center’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Juneau tailbone pain.
