Introduction: Previous research studies have established a link between cervical dysfunction, proprioception, and balance deficits in patients with cervicogenic headache. However, no current research exists to determine if the implementation of a balance program for these patients has any effect on their balance and proprioception capabilities. This case study aimed to identify if significant changes can be made the overall balance of a patient with cervicogenic headache as measured by the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test. Case Description: The patient was a 50-year-old female, who had been suffering from long term cervicogenic headaches with increasing frequency and intensity for 6 months. Outcomes: The patient was seen for six visits over six weeks for balance training in addition to traditional physical therapy interventions including manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. After 6 sessions the patient made an overall improvement in balance (+7.9%) measured via the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test and clinically significant improvements in reported pain via the Headache Disability Index (91.6%), Neck Disability Index (63.6%) and the Visual Analog Scale (2.5 points). Discussion: This case report demonstrates when balance training is added to standard manual therapy interventions for the management of cervicogenic headache you can successfully improve overall balance control measured with the NeuroCom Sensory Organization Test. Further research is necessary to further validate balance programming as a key intervention strategy for the general population with cervicogenic headache and guide decision-making for these patients.

Introduction: Coccygodynia - pain in the coccyx and tissues lying in its immediate vicinity is a known problem, however, little examined and assessed. The problem affects only 1% of people with spinal problems. This may be for many reasons - from organic to functional, to a number of extra-local causes. Introduction: Coccygodynia - pain in the coccyx and tissues lying in its immediate vicinity is a known problem, however, little examined and assessed. The problem affects only 1% of people with spinal problems. This may be for many reasons - from organic to functional, to a number of extra-local causes. Study aim: The aim of the study is to present the diagnostic process and course of non-surgical - physiotherapeutic treatment - of a 12-year-old boy with idiopathic coccyx pain syndrome using the methodology of manual therapy proposed by Rakowski, with an assessment of immediate and final treatment points. Materials and methods: Research was carried out among a group of 13,793 subjects at the Manual Therapy Centre in Sierosław near Poznań. From this group, individuals with tailbone pain were extracted, which accounts for 1.15% of the remaining participants. The following case report is a representative example selected from the above group. Diagnostics were based on subjective assessment and medical examination (performed at a children's hospital), including medical examination with access through the anus and physiotherapeutic manual examination. Results and conclusions: Coccygodynia requires detailed imaging and functional diagnostics, with particular attention being paid to the structures directly related to the sacro-coccygeal region, as well as to the place lying outside the area of the experienced ailments. The solution to idiopathic pain syndrome in the coccygeal region is targeted manual therapy, taking selected elements of the musculoskeletal structures into account. The described procedure is in line with the methods created by Rakowski, along with local and non-local therapeutic interventions. In the described case, total alleviation of the ailments was achieved, both in short-term assessment and 3 years after completion of treatment.
