What better fun is there on a hot, Manahawkin summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Manahawkin folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will watch. Which is safer? Watching! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research study explains that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t stated in the medical writings before, but Manahawkin Chiropractic Center knows it is seen in this Manahawkin 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) Like 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 reduced pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just three treatments. (3) If Manahawkin summer’s water fun hurts you, turn to your Manahawkin chiropractor! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Manahawkin tailbone pain.
