What more fun is there on a hot, Georgetown summer day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Georgetown folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will watch. Which is better? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets damaged. And it does! A new research study makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not stated in the medical literature before, but Dr. Butwell knows it’s found in this Georgetown 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 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 pharmacological treatment. Adding manipulation decreased pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who occasionally have low back pain and leg pain, too) in just 3 sessions. (3) If Georgetown summer’s water fun hurts you, turn to your Georgetown chiropractor! Dr. Butwell’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Georgetown tailbone pain.
