Tailbone Pain So Severe She Couldn’t Sit For 2 Years (2nd Visit) 😭

Comment “BOOK” to receive a direct link to get scheduled ⭐️

Two years ago, this patient suffered a traumatic fall directly onto her tailbone. From that moment on, sitting became almost impossible. The pain followed her everywhere—restaurants, car rides, even at home on the couch. She tried to push through it. She hoped it would go away on its own. But it never did.

Eventually, she sought medical help. X-rays showed “nothing wrong,” and she was told to just wait it out. But the pain never changed. She felt stuck… until she found me.

She flew in to see me hoping—honestly, praying—that someone could finally help her.

During her first visit, I performed a full tailbone-focused treatment. I assessed her coccyx alignment, worked through her clothing to gently adjust the tailbone internally, and used the drop table to restore motion. I realigned her pelvis to support the coccyx, then finished with low-level laser therapy to calm inflammation, reduce pain, and promote soft-tissue healing.

For the first time in two years, she felt real relief. She actually teared up on the table — tears of joy, not pain. 🥲🙏

She generously allowed us to document her visit so others living with the same hidden pain can see that there is hope and there are solutions.

TAILBONE PAIN FROM SITTING TOO LONG? TRY THIS RELIEF TECHNIQUE 🪑🔥

If your tailbone feels sore after long hours of sitting, this gentle release can help:

1️⃣ Lie face-down on a flat surface.
This removes pressure from the coccyx and lets the tissues relax.

2️⃣ Place your fingers just above your tailbone.
You’re contacting the skin and fascia around the coccyx—NOT pressing directly on the bone.

3️⃣ Gently lift the skin and fascia upward toward your tailbone.
This helps loosen the tight fascia that gets restricted when we sit too long.

4️⃣ Repeat the same light lifting motion from the front (anterior) side if needed.
Balancing the tension around the coccyx can reduce discomfort.

This doesn’t “adjust” the bone, but it can decrease pressure and help the area move better—many people feel immediate relief.

Misaligned tailbone coccyx adjustment 😱

Backstory:
She presented with a lifelong struggle involving a retroverted tailbone, causing persistent discomfort during seated positions or while performing sit-ups.

Treatment Summary:
Her treatment involved several focused steps. First, I worked on releasing tightness in the pelvic floor muscles to reduce pressure on the tailbone and make sitting more comfortable. Next, we corrected her pelvic posture to give the tailbone better structural support. Gentle adjustments were performed through clothing with minimal movement to help realign the coccyx. I also addressed restrictions in the lower back and sacrum, since these areas directly influence tailbone alignment. Together, these treatments reduced pain and targeted the root cause by improving balance and support throughout the pelvis and spine.

Trouble breathing after he broke his face 😱

Comment “BOOK” to receive a direct link to get scheduled ⭐️

This patient came in with a history of facial trauma after a soda bottle exploded in his face when he dropped a Mentos inside.

Since that incident, he’s struggled with breathing issues and jaw misalignment.

In this video, I performed a Cranial Facial Release to help open up the cranial bones, restore proper alignment, and improve his breathing. After the session, he immediately noticed he could breathe more easily.

Hunch Back aka severe hyperKyphosis

Comment “BOOK” to receive a direct link to get scheduled ⭐️

Backstory:
He came in with severe hyperkyphosis, experiencing significant tension and discomfort. When lying down, his head does not touch the table, and he has difficulty rotating his head left to right or extending his neck. He deals with daily discomfort and is seeking relief from the tension and improve his range of motion and overall mobility. The goal is to alleviate his symptoms and help him move more freely.

During this visit, I performed specific adjustments on his thoracic ribs and used tools to increase mobility in his neck. I also applied spinal decompression to create more space in his spine. The session concluded with low-level laser therapy to help remodel scar tissue and release tension.

By the end of the visit, he reported improved breathing, greater neck mobility—both in rotating left to right and extending his neck for the first time in his life—and an overall boost in mood. He shared these improvements during his second visit. Stay tuned for the next video.
