Tailbone Pain, aka Coccydynia or Coccygodynia

The tailbone or coccyx is located between the buttocks. Pain in this area is referred to as coccygodynia or coccydynia. Coccydynia is associated with pain and tenderness at the tip of the tailbone between the buttocks. Coccydynia is often caused by an injury, but it may occur seemingly spontaneously.
The pain is often increased by sitting, going from sitting to standing, or having a bowel movement. When a person sits, the tailbone is supposed to flex under the body and when a person stands up, it is supposed to extend back. Sometimes the tailbone can become stiff or out of place. If it gets into the wrong position or moves poorly, the discomfort can be merely irritating or quite painful.

Ria treats the tailbone with manual therapy, with the goal of putting the tailbone back into alignment and restoring proper motion. There is usually some improvement the first time, so some patients only need one treatment, but most will need a few treatments in order to feel full relief.
