Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain) Treatment

Coccydynia tailbone pain

Understanding Coccydynia

Coccydynia, or tailbone pain, is discomfort at the base of the spine, often caused by trauma, prolonged sitting, or underlying medical conditions. This pain can interfere with daily activities, making sitting, standing, and movement uncomfortable. Seeking proper care can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Common Causes of Coccydynia

Individuals may experience tailbone pain due to:

  • Trauma or Injury: A direct impact from a fall or accident.

  • Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for extended periods, especially on hard surfaces.

  • Childbirth: Pressure on the coccyx during delivery.

  • Degenerative Changes: Wear and tear over time affecting the coccyx and surrounding tissues.

  • Infections or Tumors: Rare but potential underlying causes.

Symptoms of Coccydynia

  • Persistent pain or tenderness at the tailbone.

  • Pain that worsens when sitting or standing for long periods.

  • Discomfort during bowel movements or sexual activity.
