Are you living with pain in your tailbone?

Coccydynia is the medical term for pain in the tailbone area. Pain in this area often occurs due to trauma.

The condition is also more common in women due to the angle of the pelvis and possible injury during childbirth. Falling onto your tailbone can cause fractures, which could lead to chronic tailbone pain. Tailbone pain is often noticed when you are sitting down on a hard surface. This pain can be relieved by simply standing up. If you are experiencing tailbone pain that is affecting your daily life, there are treatment options for this. Please discuss this with your ASAP provider to see if you are a candidate for treatment.
