Tailbone Pain Treatment

No one likes to suffer from some form of pain or discomfort. This is precisely what many people experience when they have a tailbone injury. However, sometimes it is necessary to do so to find relief for a more severe issue. Painful tailbone injuries can be caused by accident or by the natural aging process that occurs over time and may require treatment from Richmond Hill chiropractor, ON. Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON, has seen success in treating patients with tailbone pain by using chiropractic adjustments to relieve pressure on the spine and nerves.

 

A person’s tailbone (coccyx) can be found near the base of the spinal column. Tailbone pain occurs when your coccyx is injured somehow. Pain in the coccyx is also known as coccyx pain. You feel that pain the most while you’re seated.

Tailbone Pain

Causes

The most customary way to injure your tailbone is via falling. Tailbone injuries can occur when you fall and land squarely on your tailbone, such as when you slip and fall on the steps.

 

Tailbone pain can also be caused by sitting for long periods on a hard surface, and this form of pain can affect even persons who are generally active. The sacroiliac joints, pelvic muscles, and lower back can also refer to pain. Pregnancy and childbirth may be few other causes for tailbone pain.

Symptoms

The most common symptom of tailbone pain is back pain. Pelvic and lower back pains are also symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how long it will take for a person to recover from their injury or whether they’ll experience any form of residual problems afterward, as some people do with coccyx fractures.

Treatments

Many different treatments can help relieve tailbone pain. Chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression, a form of physical therapy to decompress the spine, have proven effective in treating tailbone injuries. We at Richmond Hill Chiropractors, ON, always recommend coming to us for non-invasive treatments for your tailbone pan.

Tailbone Pain Treatment

Spinal Adjustments

At Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., our chiropractor will analyze your spine and then perform a spinal adjustment to relieve the pressure on nerves. This is done by using our hands or specialized instruments such as an activator instrument.

Spinal decompression

Spinal Decompression therapy used by our physical therapists at Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON. involves techniques designed to reduce tension in the lower back and neck. During this therapy, the therapists keep you lying face down on an inflatable table, which will be inflated to provide a certain amount of pressure on the back. You might also receive traction and myofascial release, which are forms of physical therapy that focus on muscles in your lower back.

Hot and Cold Therapy

We use this type of therapy at Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., to relieve tailbone pain and heal injuries. We use heat applied using a hot pack or heating pad for short-term relief from tailbone pain. We may provide cold therapy treatment with ice packs on the sore and inflamed area for more chronic conditions.

Pelvic Alignment Techniques

The most effective technique for treating tailbone pain at Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., is pelvic alignment techniques. The therapists use a series of gentle movements to correctly reposition your pelvis and alleviate tension in the muscles attached to it.

Ultrasound therapy to treat tailbone pain

Richmond Hill Chiropractor, ON., has found success in treating tailbone pain by ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound waves are applied to the injured area of your coccyx and transmitted through the skin into deeper tissues. As a result, they produce heat that speeds up healing and reduces inflammation. Ultrasound therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments.
