Please advise me of any exercises I can do to unlock this area of my back. The chiropractor I went to said if he aligned my neck, it would unlock the tailbone, but it didn’t. Is it possible to do it w/o another adjustment?
DD,Your Chiropractor should be able to adjust the coccyx, as it is a joint. Not all Chiropractors feel comfortable with doing this adjustment, however, given it’s location. The coccyx needs to be digitally adjusted via the rectum, but is not really difficult to do, nor painful for the patient. You need to call around until you find a Chiropractor who does these adjustments. Normally it will be the same type of Chiropractors who specialize in extremity adjustments. Let us know how you make out, and good luck.
