Options For Treating the Painful Coccyx Tailbone
Posted by admin in Prescription Pain Killers on September 25th, 2009
There are a variety of reasons why the coccyx tailbone will give you pain. The main reason for coccyx pain is the fracture of the tailbone when you accidentally slip. Yes that is correct, when you fall or slip the tendency is that you will hit the floor with all your weight gravitating backwards. This will mean that all the body weight will be transferred on to the tailbone. Now when that happens the tailbone is likely to get fractured or broken.
The fractured tailbone cannot be surgically treated unless it is so severe that it needs to be surgically removed. The surgery of the coccyx is not a good thing as things can go wrong during the surgery and it can affect other vertebrae in the spinal column. The better option is to take the pain relieving cortisone treatment or the painkillers that will help you be free from pain for a couple of months.
Visiting a massage therapist who is a specialist in the treatment of the coccyx disorders can be helpful. The challenge lies in the fact that there are not very many folks who are expert in giving the massage at the coccyx area. Massage in the wrong position can even worsen the pain.
The other reason for the coccyx pain is the childhood defect in the tailbone. This type of defect cannot be treated and the pain at best can be avoided. The best option for this is to use the seat cushions. These seat cushions are designed so as to make sure that the tailbone is not in direct contact with the chair on which you sit or the car seat on which sit and drive.
There are several types of seat cushions available in the market. These seat cushions come in a variety of styles and designs. Some are gel filled and some have the memory foam in them. You need to select the one which will help you alleviate the pain. Again, remember this is just prevention and you just cannot eliminate the pain.
In some cases the dislocation can happen because of the fall even though there is no fracture. Expert orthopedic surgeons can easily put back the dislocated tailbone in place. The challenge is to find a doctor who is an expert in all this. You get into the wrong hands and the chances are that you will end up having much more pain than earlier.
