TAILBONE PAIN

Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, is pain in and around the small triangular bone at the very bottom of your spinal column, above the cleft of your buttocks known as the coccyx.

The term coccyx comes from the Greek word for “cuckoo” as it resembles a bird’s beak with the tip pointed down. “Dynia” means “pain,” and so “coccydynia” literally means “pain of the coccyx.” And because the bone corresponds to the location of an animal’s tail, it’s called the tailbone in common terms.

Anatomy of the coccyx:
Your coccyx is made up of three to five fused vertebrae (bones). It lies beneath the sacrum, a bone structure at the base of your spine. Several tendons, muscles and ligaments connect to it.

Both the coccyx and the ischial tuberosities (two bones that make up the bottom of your pelvis) bear your weight when you sit down. Two-thirds of adults have a coccyx that curves a bit instead of pointing straight down, but one that is curved too far is abnormal and, therefore, painful.Tailbone pain (coccydynia) can make everyday tasks uncomfortable at best, and unbearable at worst.

Tailbone pain ranges from a dull ache to a fierce stab. It can last for weeks, months or sometimes longer. There are three types of events that cause tailbone pain:

External Trauma: A bruised, broken or dislocated coccyx caused by a fall.
Internal Trauma: Trauma caused by a difficult childbirth or from sitting on a narrow or hard surface for too long.
Others: Infection, abscess and tumors.

Interestingly, for one-third of those with coccydynia, the cause is unknown. Women are five times more likely than men to develop coccydynia. Adults and adolescents get it more often than children. Obese persons are three times more susceptible than those at the ideal weight according to the BMI (Body Mass Index) scale. You’re also more vulnerable if you lose weight too quickly.

Symptoms:
The symptoms of coccydynia include:
a. Achy or piercing pain in the tailbone.
b. More severe pain when changing from sitting to standing up.
c. More severe pain when sitting for long periods of time.
d. Pain during bowel movements.
e. Pain during s*x.
Other related symptoms that may occur with coccydynia include:

•Depression.
•Anxiety.
•Poor sleep.
•Painful buttocks.
•Back pain.

Based on these symptoms, is it possible physiotherapy will be very essential in the management of this type of painful condition? Meet me my subsequent post as I share with you protocols that could emerge from a therapist to help in the case.

SPINE CASE :
Reasons to Go to Physical Therapy for an ANNULER TE

Are you currently struggling with back pain? If so, you’re not alone. Eight out of ten people will experience back pain at some point during their lives.

There are a number of reasons why you might be experiencing back pain, including a tear to your annulus, a portion of the spinal discs that connects each of your vertebrae together and wraps around the soft inner portion of the disc for protection.

If you’ve recently experienced an annular tear and are having a hard time finding relief, physical therapy could be very beneficial to you.

Read on to learn reasons why you should consider going to physical therapy.

What is an Annular Tear?
Before we get into the specific benefits of physical therapy for annular tears, let’s go over this injury in more detail.

An annular tear is a type of tear that affects the ligaments connecting your vertebrae to the discs in your spine. These ligaments surround the nucleus of each disc and are comprised of a strong ring of fibers. These fibers are known as the annulus fibrosus.

When a tear occurs in the annulus fibrosus, it’s called an annular tear. The outer portion of the annular fibrosus contains many nerve fibers. Because of this, annular tears can be very painful.

They are most often caused by normal degeneration and stress on the spine, but can also be caused by a traumatic event such as an automobile accident or sports injury.

Symptoms of an Annular Tear
Some common annular tear symptoms include:

Back pain
Neck pain
Sciatic pain
A weakening of the muscles in the arms, legs, back, or neck
Flexibility limitations
Tingling or numbness in the legs or arms
A burning sensation in the spine or sciatic nerve.
Annular tears are often associated with other spine conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and sciatic pain.

Why Go to Physical Therapy for an Annular Tear?
If you’re dealing with an annular tear, physical therapy is one of the best things you can do to expedite the healing process and ensure everything heals correctly. Therapy makes your muscles stronger, helping to relive some of the stress on the spine by acting as a brace. Pt also helps enhance blood flow to the damaged area and corrects alignment of the spine.

Here are reasons of the greatest benefits that come with seeing a physical therapist:

1. Treat the Problem, Not Just the Symptoms
A physical therapist also helps you get to the root of the problem.

A great physical therapist will teach you how to maintain your progress and give you exercises to continue a healthy, strong lifestyle.

2. Reduced Need for Surgery
Nobody wants to go through back surgery. While it’s sometimes necessary to treat annular tears and other conditions, it’s generally best to leave back surgery as a last resort.

3. Improved Mobility
When you go to physical therapy on a regular basis, you’ll likely find that your flexibility and mobility improve dramatically.

When you increase your mobility and flexibility, you’ll likely find that you can return to activities that you had to give up while you were injured.

4. Enhanced Recovery
Sometimes, annular tears heal themselves on their own. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek any professional help while you recover, though.

When you work with a physical therapist, you can often expedite the healing process. A physical therapist can also help to ensure that your annular tear heals properly, preventing future issues.

5. Improved Quality of Life.
Seeing a physical therapist on a consistent basis can significantly reduce your level of pain. This, in turn, can enhance your quality of life dramatically.

If you’re consistent with your appointments and exercises, you’ll be able to do more for yourself.

6. Prevent Future Injuries
When you work with a physical therapist, you learn exercises that can help you strengthen your spine and improve your balance. This is extremely important in helping you protect yourself future injuries. Who doesn’t want to be more resilient, especially as they’re getting older?

7. Medication-Free Pain Management.

If you see a traditional medical doctor for help with your back pain, there’s a good chance you’ll be prescribed painkillers.

Painkillers can provide a short-term solution, but they can also be habit-forming and come with a wide range of side effects.

When you work with a physical therapist, you will learn stretches and exercises that help to minimize your pain without the need for medication.

Physical therapists often utilize other therapies, like manual adjustment, massage, and ultrasound therapy, to provide additional relief.
