What more fun is there on a hot, Vancouver summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Vancouver folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will watch. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may turn 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 literature before, but Vancouver Disc Centers knows it is seen in this Vancouver chiropractic practice’s patient population. The tailbone is formally called the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may result in 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 improves 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 decreased pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 treatments. (3) If Vancouver summer’s water fun hurts you, visit your Vancouver chiropractor! Vancouver Disc Centers’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Vancouver tailbone pain.
