Could My GI Problems Be Due To Untreated Tail Bone?

i broke my tail bone about 10yrs ago and never had it treated. For the past 6 yrs i have had many GI problems. ive had all the test run and everything has come out fairly normal. Could my GI problems be caused by the untreated tail bone? btw i still have a LOT of lower back pain

Hello,

I don't think so that the GI problems will be due to the tail bone fracture. In fact, I feel this could be related to reduced metabolism which happens off late to most individuals.

Why don't you get involved in physical exercise and change your diet? I think this should help you to a greater extent.

In my clinical practice, we try to improve the metabolism with the inclusion of various physical exercise and change of diet plan.

For low back pain, you need to work out for the weak muscle groups like the one which supports the spinal. This should help improve the stability of the spine and reduce back pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
