Chiropractor for Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain

Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, is a deep ache at the base of the spine that is worse when sitting. It can follow a fall or a car accident, or it can build over time. Chiropractic care offers a conservative way to treat it.

What causes coccyx pain

The tailbone can be bruised, misaligned, or injured by a fall onto the buttocks, the impact of a car accident, prolonged sitting, or childbirth. It usually hurts most when sitting, leaning back, or standing up.

How a chiropractor helps

After an exam, and imaging if a fracture is suspected, care may include gentle adjustment and mobilization to restore normal coccyx and pelvic alignment, soft-tissue therapy for the surrounding muscles, and guidance on sitting and support to take pressure off the area.
