Who It's For

If this is you, we can help.

Sharp pain at the tailbone, worse with sitting and with the transition from sitting to standing. Often a history of a fall, childbirth, or prolonged sitting. Sometimes worsened by bowel movements.

What to Expect

Your first visit.

Focused examination. Sometimes dynamic X-rays in sitting and standing to assess coccygeal motion. Discussion of cushioning, postural strategies, and interventional options. A clear plan rather than a shrug.

Treatment Options

Targeted injection often produces durable relief.

Postural support with coccyx cutout cushions, targeted physical therapy, and topical or oral medications as initial steps. For persistent pain, image-guided ganglion impar block produces durable relief in many patients. Refractory cases may benefit from sacrococcygeal radiofrequency ablation.
