What more fun is there on a hot, Vancouver summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Vancouver folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from distance. Which is better? Observing! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research study makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical writings before, but Vancouver Disc Centers knows it is seen in this Vancouver 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 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 medication treatment. Adding manipulation decreased pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes have low back pain and leg pain, too) in just 3 sessions. (3) If Vancouver summer’s water fun hurts you, visit your Vancouver chiropractor! Vancouver Disc Centers’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Vancouver tailbone pain.

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