What more fun is there on a hot, Baton Rouge summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Baton Rouge folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will observe. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets damaged. And it does! A new research report describes that water ride related tailbone pain is not stated in the medical writings before, but Spine & Sports Rehab Center knows it’s seen in this Baton Rouge chiropractic practice’s patient group. The tailbone is properly called 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 reduces pain and increases 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 sessions. (3) If Baton Rouge summer’s water fun hurts you, turn to your Baton Rouge chiropractor! Spine & Sports Rehab Center’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Baton Rouge tailbone pain.

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