What more fun is there on a hot, Oxford summer day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Oxford folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from distance. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets hurt. And it does! A new research report makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical writings before, but Satterwhite Chiropractic knows it’s found in this Oxford chiropractic practice’s patient group. 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 reduces pain and increases function without any additional problems for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care of coccyx pain is physical therapy and medication treatment. Adding manipulation reduced pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who occasionally experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 sessions. (3) If Oxford summer’s water fun harms you, turn to your Oxford chiropractor! Satterwhite Chiropractic’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your Oxford tailbone pain.
