Tailbone injuries hurt. If you\u2019ve ever suffered a fall and landed squarely on your butt, you\u2019ve probably suffered one yourself, and while falling is the #1 way such injuries occur, it\u2019s by no means the only way. Sitting for extended periods in an uncomfortable chair can also lead to tailbone injury.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, when you injure that part of your body, even simple things you take for granted like standing and sitting can become lessons in agony, and nobody around you seems to fully understand how bad it hurts.<\/p>\n
The good news is that the injury is quite treatable, and your chiropractor can quickly and easily assess the damage and recommend a treatment plan that will put you back on the path to a pain-free life in short order.
\nWhere tailbone injuries are concerned, there are basically three possibilities:<\/p>\n
\u2022 You\u2019ve knocked it out of alignment, in which case, realignment will give you almost instant relief.
\n\u2022 You\u2019ve bruised the soft tissue around it, in which case, alternating between cold and hot compresses will help bring the swelling down and ease the pain
\n\u2022 Or, during the fall, you\u2019ve managed to twist just the wrong way and stress the muscles and tendons in that area. If this is the case, then there are some good, effective low-impact exercises that will help. Coupled with massage therapy, you\u2019ll be feeling better in no time.<\/p>\n
Of course, falls can be chaotic things, and odds are that it will take a combination of all three to get you feeling your best once more. But again, after suffering an injury like that, you don\u2019t want to leave anything to chance, so your best bet is to get checked out and get a professional recommendation for a course of treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
