Richmond Water Slides and Rides: Summer Fun May Hurt
Richmond Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain
What better fun is there on a hot, Richmond summer
day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Richmond folks will do the
sliding and riding, and some will observe.
Which is better? Observing! Water
slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured.
And it does! A new research study makes
clear that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t reported
in the medical writings before, but Johnson Chiropractic knows it
is seen in this Richmond chiropractic practice’s
patient population. The tailbone is formally named
the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may result in coccygeal
instability and pain. (1) Like the rest of the spine, the
coccyx has discs and dorsal root ganglia, too. DRG stimulation eases
pain and increases function without any complications for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care
of coccyx pain is physical therapy and pharmacological
treatment. Adding manipulation reduced pain and disability for
chronic coccydynia patients (who occasionally experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in
just three treatments. (3) If Richmond summer’s
water fun harms you, go to your Richmond
chiropractor! Johnson Chiropractic’s gentle manipulation may soothe the
coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your Richmond tailbone
pain.
