What more fun is there on a hot, Elgin summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Elgin folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from afar. Which is better? Watching! Water slides and rides may go from fun to pain if the tailbone gets injured. And it does! A new research study explains that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical writings before, but Connected Chiropractic knows it’s seen in this Elgin 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 eases 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 reduced pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just 3 treatments. (3) If Elgin summer’s water fun hurts you, turn to your Elgin chiropractor! Connected Chiropractic’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your Elgin tailbone pain.
The last thing a Elgin expectant mother wants to experience is pain, and the very last thing she wants to do is take medication or go through medical procedures!

(4) For women who find themselves with lumbopelvic pain during Elgin pregnancy, acupuncture reportedly helps. It is safe and beneficial for reducing pain and improving her quality of life while pregnant. 89% of women in one study stated clinically meaningful symptom decline. (5) Your Elgin chiropractor is here to lessen pregnancy-related Elgin back pain and pelvic pain.
