Tailbone Chiropractic Adjustment Has Caused Nightly Itching For 2 YearsPosted By Connie (Horicon, WI) on 01/28/2021
Prior adjustments to other areas of body had no side effects or issues.
That evening of the day of the tailbone adjustment, I experienced terrible itching around my tailbone and continued through the night. Contacted doctor with his resolution to take high doses of a bovine glandular supplement. I am highly intolerant to all beef and refused.
I continued treatments until 2/2019 and left this chiropractor as none of his adjustments corrected my itching or corrected the main reason I hired him.
I would complain of the itching rotating around my body from feet, hands, back, elbows and also tailbone. I already had a very clean diet, and he stated food would have no affect on the itching. I had hoped my body would heal, adjust eventually...but still am itching every night starting around 8pm and if I take no antihistamine, will itch through to 4/5 am.
It is a miserable under the skin itch.
I rely on an OTC children’s antihistamine (dye free), but it still upsets my tummy and so I tried some natural supplements(quercetin and nettles) that helps for a few hours but not through the whole night. Tried Benedryl but it has corn ingredients I am intolerant to and so I quit.
Trying another OTC children’s antihistamine that is dye/alcohol free, but wish to be on no drugs at all. My tailbone now pops and moves around and gets aggravated at times to affect my right hip. I tried just one week of castor oil packs on tailbone recently but had no improvements. Prior to that tailbone adjustment never had itching or tailbone never bothered me...ever!
What did a few minutes of a tapping tool do to my tailbone? How do I stop this itching? I feel fine otherwise...except lacking a good night sleep. My spouse never was in favor of chiropractors but this doc was advertised as a kinesiologist. To go to another chiropractor he will not support.
