While we are on the subject of coccyx adjustments.

[Guest guest]

Greetings folks!

While we are on the topic of coccyx adjustments.

I have a 13 y/o female patient that has P in the coccyx area, she is an athlete

and was lifting weights when the P started. She was bending over, picking up a

weight, with no direct trauma to the area. The P was immediate and has since

spread up into the SI joint area. Adjusting her SI joints and pubic symphysis

has helped.

Anterior coccyx was noted in the x-ray. She (or her mother) don't remember any

trauma to the area other than normal falls from snowboarding, wakeboarding

etc.... She is a also catcher for her fast pitch softball team.

I am assuming a coccyx adjustment would be helpful. But she is 13 and I

hesitate due to her age. So I am wondering what others may think.

Also I am wondering if this would cause any issues if she decides to have

children. It would seem to me that the anterior coccyx would hinder a vaginal

birth. I have heard of women's coccyx breaking during birth and that's without

anterior displacement of the coccyx.

So I am open to hear others thoughts.

Thanks,

Judith,

This adjustment is so simple .... I wonder why my brethern have so much difficulty in deciding to do it . Stooping (as with a catcher's position or in the various weight lifting moviemtn where they bend forward and then attempt to stand up can indeed pull it forward. Yes, that position is the reason for many a C-section, emergency and otherwise.

It is such a SIMPLE adjustment---our attitudes get so much in the way. Not doing this will give this child a life-time's worth of pain and discomfort with the potential of far greater risks (ie: c-section), not to mention headaches (remember the tie-in with the coccyx and frontal bone)....just do it.

Have her mother present and explain what you will do. I teach them that it only take about 1/2" to 2" finger insertion ... the coccyx is extremely easy to reach and shft .... they usually don't feel any pain but they do feel IMMEDIATE releif and change.

It is OUR attitude that gets in the way here.

Go for it!
