What better fun is there on a hot, Fernandina Beach summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Fernandina Beach folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from afar. Which is safer? Watching! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets hurt. And it does! A new research report describes that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t reported in the medical writings before, but Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows it’s found in this Fernandina Beach chiropractic practice’s patient population. The tailbone is properly called 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 improves function without any additional problems for patients with chronic coccydynia (coccyx pain). (2) Usual care of coccyx pain is physical therapy and medication 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 Fernandina Beach summer’s water fun hurts you, visit your Fernandina Beach chiropractor! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Fernandina Beach tailbone pain.

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

(4) For women who experience lumbopelvic pain during Fernandina Beach pregnancy, acupuncture seemingly helps.

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