Coccydynia, also known as tailbone pain, is a problem that can stem from numerous causes. It can occur suddenly or gradually and be sharp or dull. The pain may feel like it’s coming from the base of your spine, or you may only feel discomfort when sitting or lying down. Most importantly, coccydynia can significantly impact your quality of life. But there’s no need to suffer – chiropractic care can help!

What is coccydynia and how does it differ from other types of back pain?
As a Chiropractor, I am often asked about Coccydynia, a type of coccyx or tailbone pain that many patients experience. Coccydynia is unique from other types of back pain in its location and the fact that it has several possible causes.
Chiropractic treatment provides a non-surgical option for addressing Coccydynia as well as other lumbar pain by targeting nerve pressure or misalignments in the spine to alleviate symptoms without the risks and invasiveness of surgery.
At-home care can also be an effective tool to relieve coccydynia as well as heat or cold packs, stretching, massage therapy and lifestyle modifications such as adding exercise into your routine.

Depending on your individual needs, chiropractors may utilize manual adjustments or physical therapy techniques such as massage, cold laser therapy, exercise and stretching techniques to reduce inflammation and realign the spine.
