I fell hard during a ringette game, but it wasn't on my tailbone, it still hurts after a game and always when i bend over or squat for even 4-5 minutes. Should I get it checked out by the chiropractor?

Go see a chiropractor. They do have high school diplomas and actually have a doctorate degree. They do not prescribe medicine but they help your body heal naturally through what is referred to as manipulation or an adjustment. More than likely when you fell you jammed your SI joint. It is now stiff and sore and not moving like it should. A hand full of visits to the chiropractor will clear your problem up in no time. Don't call an MD or a hospital as they will end up just giving you pills to mask the pain and never deal with the real cause of the pain. You didn't do anything life threatening but it sucks to have pain in your back. Most chiropractors can get you in the same day and you won't have to wait for hours to see them.

Go to a real medical Dr.A chiropractor doesn't even need a high school diploma to get into their schools.Most people dont know that.They can also do more damage.You may haved bruised a bundle of nerves or torn something.

Go to your medical doctor first; you may have damaged a disc, or have soft tissue damage. He can tell you if a chiropractor is needed. You might be able to save yourself some time, and money by seeing your doctor first. Hope you feel better soon!

Its always safe to say that if its still hurtin after a few weeks check with a MD. Though backs are difficult to predict i hurt my back falling down years ago and to this day i still get back pain from it.

no you should go to a real doctor get x-rays then go see the chiropractor or do what i do
when my back hurts real bad i get my brother to hit me in the legs with a sledge hammer and my back fills great for about two - three weeks i think next week we might use a shovel

your back is definitely one thing you should not take for granted so go to chiropractor may not be serious but always better to get it checked out.
