Coccyx Pain
Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia or coccygodynia, occurs in or around the bony structure at the bottom of the spine (coccyx) can be caused by trauma to the coccyx during a fall, prolonged sitting on a hard or narrow surface, degenerative joint changes, or vaginal childbirth. Tailbone pain can feel dull and achy but typically becomes sharp during certain activities, such as sitting, rising from a seated to a standing position or prolonged standing. Defecation and sex also might become painful. For women, tailbone pain can make menstruation uncomfortable as well. A physical therapist can use soft tissue techniques, relaxation techniques and joint mobilization to reduce muscular tension and discomfort.
