What more fun is there on a hot, Severna Park summer day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Severna Park folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will watch. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research report makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t stated in the medical writings before, but Back And Neck Care Center knows it is seen in this Severna Park chiropractic practice’s patient group. The tailbone is formally named the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may result in 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 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 have low back pain and leg pain, too) in just 3 treatments. (3) If Severna Park summer’s water fun hurts you, go to your Severna Park chiropractor! Back And Neck Care Center’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Severna Park tailbone pain.

The last thing a Severna Park expectant mother wants to experience is pain, and the very last thing she wants is to take a drug or undergo medical procedures!

(4) For women who experience lumbopelvic pain during Severna Park pregnancy, acupuncture reportedly helps.

(5) Your Severna Park chiropractor is here to lessen pregnancy-related Severna Park back pain and pelvic pain.
