What better fun is there on a hot, Montreal summer day than to delight in a cool-water water ride or water slide? Most all of us can all relate to that! Some Montreal folks will do the sliding and riding, and some will view from distance. Which is better? Viewing from afar! Water slides and rides may turn from fun to pain if the tailbone gets damaged. And it does! A new research report explains that water ride related tailbone pain isn’t reported in the medical literature before, but Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic knows it is found in this Montreal chiropractic practice’s patient population. The tailbone is formally called the coccyx, the lowest section of the spine, and tailbone injury may result in 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 improves function without any complications 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 experience low back pain and leg pain as well) in just three sessions. (3) If Montreal summer’s water fun hurts you, visit your Montreal chiropractor! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic’s gentle manipulation may soothe the coccyx’s discs and DRGs and relieve your Montreal tailbone pain.

The last thing a Montreal expectant mother desires experiencing is pain, and the very last thing she wants to do is take medication or undergo medical procedures! Montreal chiropractic spinal manipulation with Cox® Technic is described to help ease pregnancy-related back pain and leg pain. (4) For women who experience lumbopelvic pain during Montreal 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 stated clinically meaningful symptom reduction. (5) Your Montreal chiropractor is here to lessen pregnancy-related Montreal back pain and pelvic pain.
