Coccydynia, or tailbone pain, can be a frustrating and painful condition that affects daily activities like sitting, driving, or even bending. As a chiropractor, I often see patients suffering from this condition without knowing the root cause or that effective treatment options exist.
Coccydynia can result from falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth, or even unknown causes. The tailbone, or coccyx, can develop restrictions or become inflamed, leading to persistent discomfort. In my practice, I offer both external and internal coccygeal treatments, including coccygeal adjustments. External treatments involve gentle, targeted pressure along the coccyx and surrounding muscles, while internal treatments allow for more precise correction of coccyx restrictions through a gloved and discreet approach.
We also incorporate pelvic floor exercises and collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as massage therapists, to address muscular tension and support full-body recovery. This multidisciplinary approach ensures patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
If you've been experiencing ongoing tailbone pain, chiropractic care could provide the relief you need. You're not alone, and there are effective, respectful solutions available to help you get back to living comfortably.
