While we are on the subject of coccyx adjustments.

[Guest guest]

Judith,

I have had success with putting the skin over the sacrum/coccyx area

under traction, inferior to superior, and then using an activator to

adjust this area. I don't believe this will correct the anterior

coccyx, but it has been successful in relieving ongoing coccyx pain.

Usually the coccyx alignment will be corrected with childbirth. I am

not sure if the coccyx is really fractured, or the loud pop that is

heard is just mistaken as a fracture.

I have done a few coccyx adjustments and as long as you are gentle

and work with the patient's breathing, they are usually tolerated

fairly well.

As a long time softball coach, I would ask this patient if they

remember a wild pitch/passed ball striking them in the tail bone

area. I would bet at one time or another this happened, if she has

caught for any time at all. (Male catchers usually remember

something else being damaged when this happens, not usually their

tail bone)

Anyway good luck.
