What more fun is there on a hot, Toronto summer day than to enjoy a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Toronto folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will observe. Which is safer? Observing! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research study makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t stated in the medical literature before, but Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows it is found in this Toronto chiropractic practice’s patient population. 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 medication 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 Toronto summer’s water fun harms you, visit your Toronto chiropractor! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your Toronto tailbone pain.

The last thing a Toronto expectant mother desires experiencing is pain, and the very last thing she wants to do is take a drug or go through medical procedures!

(4) For women who find themselves with lumbopelvic pain during Toronto pregnancy, acupuncture reportedly helps.

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