Without knowing the details of a specific case history, it is impossible to give specific advice. If the coccyx is misaligned, a specific chiropractic adjustment will in most cases resolve the issue.
If the coccyx has fused to the sacrum after being fractured, then other options should be explored.
You should consult with a DC to determine the best course of treatment. Remember that all chiropractors are not created equal, and you should get a thorough physical examination in addition to a chiropractic examination during your first visit.
Anterior angulation is a condition usually diagnosed via x-rays or MRI scans. It can be a normal variant, or, in more severe cases, a painful and debilitating condition. It can be congenital (present from birth), or as a result of direct trauma to the sacrococcygeal region.
This finding indicates a slight deviation or bend in the coccyx bone, which may not be specific to a particular cause or injury. The term "nonspecific" means that the cause of this angulation is not clearly identified. Point tenderness suggests localized pain or sensitivity when pressure is applied to that specific area of the coccyx.
Anterior angulation at the sacrococcygeal junction refers to the forward tilt or bending of the sacrum relative to the coccyx at their connection point. This anatomical feature is significant in the context of pelvic alignment and can influence posture, gait, and the mechanics of childbirth. Variations in this angulation can affect the overall biomechanics of the spine and pelvis, potentially leading to discomfort or dysfunction. Understanding this alignment is crucial in fields like chiropractic, physical therapy, and obstetrics.
Kyphotic angulation refers to the condition of the abnormal angulation of the spine. This usually leads to a round back deformity.
