What are the causes of tailbone pain?
The tailbone, or coccyx, is located at the very bottom of your spine. When it hurts, even simple movements like lying down, sitting, or getting into bed can be very painful. There are several ways you might injure or feel pain in your tailbone:
• Falling
• Sitting for long periods
• Referred pain from other areas
• Pregnancy
• Childbirth
Falling is the most common cause of tailbone pain, especially when slipping on ice. Usually, a fall results in sharp pain that gets better over time. But sometimes, it can cause a more serious injury, like a coccyx fracture, that takes longer to heal. In most cases a tailbone adjustment through chiropractic treatment can be helpful.
Sitting for long periods, especially on hard surfaces, can also cause tailbone pain. Sometimes the problem can arise from the sacroiliac joints or pelvis, where the pain is felt in the tailbone but comes from another area.
Women are more likely to experience tailbone pain than men, often due to pregnancy or childbirth. Some women feel pain in their tailbone during the second half of their pregnancy, while others experience it after giving birth. Managing tailbone pain during pregnancy can be difficult, as there are fewer options for pain relief.
No matter the cause of tailbone pain, many people find relief with the help of an experienced chiropractor in Hong Kong.
Can a tailbone adjustment and chiropractic care help?
Tailbone pain is often caused by strain and tension over the tendons, ligaments and muscles surrounding the coccyx. This tension can cause irritation and pain, affect the range of motion in the tailbone and impact the movements of daily life.
Many individuals seek chiropractic adjustments to help alleviate tailbone pain and improve pelvic alignment. Chiropractors specialize in the spine but also in pelvic joints health, and this approach also applies to the coccyx. A chiropractor near your area can help you manage pain and support your journey to recovery. Remember that when searching a ‘chiropractor near me‘, you should always look for a registered Chiropractor.The Chiropractors Council of Hong Kong keeps record of Registered Doctors that have fulfilled the academic and board certification requirements to ensure professional standards and safety.
Reduce Pain – The first goal of chiropractic treatment is to ease both acute and chronic pain. As pain decreases, muscles relax and this helps restore better function and quality of movements. In term, this can help speed up natural healing.
Restore Joint Movement – after careful examination, the chiropractor might perform a tailbone adjustment or manipulation to ease tension. This could happen during the first visit or in later sessions, depending on what is needed.
Improve Mobility and Strength – To avoid future injuries, it is important to improve mobility and strength. A chiropractor can recommend stretches and exercises that fit your fitness level and physical needs.
Lifestyle Changes – Exercise, diet, posture, and sleep can impact pain and recovery. A chiropractor will help you identify daily habits that can improve your overall health and prevent pain in the future.
Diagnostic Expertise – Besides injury to the coccyx, tailbone pain can emerge from other areas. A chiropractor has expertise and can help you identify and treat those associated injuries. Some common examples are sacroiliac joint treatment and herniated disc treatment (in Cantonese 椎間盤突出治療).
Conclusion
A chiropractor can effectively help alleviate pain with a tailbone adjustment and other targeted adjustments. By addressing the issue with a holistic approach, chiropractors at Agape Chiropractic Hong Kong can promote healing and improve overall comfort.
