What more fun is there on a hot, West Palm Beach summer day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some West Palm Beach folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will observe. Which is better? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research study describes that water ride related tailbone pain is not stated in the medical literature before, but Chiropractic Care knows it is seen in this West Palm Beach chiropractic practice’s patient population. The tailbone is properly 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 eases 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 sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 treatments. (3) If West Palm Beach summer’s water fun harms you, visit your West Palm Beach chiropractor! Chiropractic Care’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your West Palm Beach tailbone pain.

The last thing a West Palm Beach expectant mother desires experiencing is pain, and the very last thing she wants to do is take a drug or undergo medical procedures!
