What more fun is there on a hot, Williamson summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Williamson folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from distance. Which is safer? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets hurt. And it does! A new research study makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical literature before, but Apple Country Chiropractic knows it is seen in this Williamson chiropractic practice’s patient group. The tailbone is formally 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 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 decreased pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 sessions. (3) If Williamson summer’s water fun hurts you, go to your Williamson chiropractor! Apple Country Chiropractic’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Williamson tailbone pain.

The last thing a Williamson expectant mother wants to experience is pain, and the very last thing she wants to do is take medication or undergo medical procedures! Williamson chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox® Technic is described to help reduce pregnancy-related back pain and leg pain. (4) For women who experience lumbopelvic pain during Williamson pregnancy, acupuncture seemingly helps. It is safe and beneficial for lessening pain and improving her quality of life while pregnant. 89% of women in one study stated clinically meaningful symptom decline. (5) Your Williamson chiropractor is here to relieve pregnancy-related Williamson back pain and pelvic pain.
