What better fun is there on a hot, Fort Wayne summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? We can all relate to that! Some Fort Wayne folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from distance. Which is safer? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets damaged. And it does! A new research study makes clear that water ride related tailbone pain is not reported in the medical literature before, but Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows it’s seen in this Fort Wayne chiropractic practice’s patient group. The tailbone is formally called the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may develop into coccygeal instability and pain. (1) Like 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 reduced pain and disability for chronic coccydynia patients (who sometimes have low back pain and leg pain, too) in just three treatments. (3) If Fort Wayne summer’s water fun harms you, turn to your Fort Wayne chiropractor! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic’s gentle manipulation may calm the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and lessen your Fort Wayne tailbone pain.

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