Treatment of coccygodynia: Medications, exercises, physiotherapy and rehabilitation

Treatment relies on a conservative form. The operational solution follows its failure and failure.

Conservative approach = 90% success rate.

It is important to reveal whether it is a primary or secondary form. Subsequently, the treatment is chosen according to the findings.

ASSISTED may pharmaceuticals, including analgesics - painkillers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs, medicines relax the muscles - muscle relaxants, local Sprays, anesthetics, corticosteroids. Alternatively, psychotropic drugs or some anticonvulsants are used.

The task is to relax the muscles and strengthen them, namely the muscles of the back, abdomen, pelvic floor and body core.

Thermotherapy, on which soft techniques and various relaxation exercise techniques are used, has a supportive character. 

Make-up rehabilitation,  physiotherapy, thermotherapy - warm or whirlpool bath, cold compresses, electrotherapy, shock wave therapy. 

The right exercise technique is very important

Exercise according to Ludmila Mojžíšová . It is a physiotherapeutic method for the treatment of movement problems. Its task is to eliminate muscle tension, balance the muscle balance of the deep stabilization system and the spine in general.

Yoga, Pilates back school, sensorimotor stimulation, Dron's method, SET concept, McKenzie's method, and others are also suitable.

The problem is exacerbated by sitting on a hard - in this case, soft pads, pillows will help. It is necessary to master the proper posture and movement habits.

Another option is a manual technique, which has a diagnostic and therapeutic character. It is the mobilization of the coccyx per rectum, and thus through the rectum.

The movement of the coccyx in the forward and backward directions, stiffness, pain are examined. When stiffness occurs, it mobilizes, corrects, muscles by a specific procedure.

Prevention ...

I guess I repeat ...

Prevention is of great importance in preventing problems with the musculoskeletal system.

The main reason is that long-term inactivity results in a number of complications. They touch the joints, the muscles of the whole body, and therefore the spine. Whether it is the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, or coccyx.

Sufficient exercise is the basis for maintaining good conditions. No complicated exercise methods are needed. A sufficient daily dose of walking is sufficient for prevention.

Other types of exercise, in the presence of organ diseases, should be consulted with a doctor. 

Ergonomics is important at home and at work. Proper posture, sitting, and sleeping position.

PLUS.

We need to think about an overall healthy lifestyle. In addition to enough exercise, it also includes a rational diet, an example of which is the Mediterranean type of diet.

Rational = reasonable = balanced content of basic nutrients + vitamins + minerals. We write
about nutrients in the human diet in a magazine article.
