Tailbone pain, also known as coccydynia, can be a painful and frustrating condition that affects the area at the base of your spine. At Align Health, we understand the impact of tailbone pain on your daily life, and our compassionate team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing effective relief, easing discomfort, and restoring your comfort.
Understanding Tailbone Pain (Coccydynia):
The tailbone, or coccyx, is a small triangular bone located at the very end of the spine. Tailbone pain can be caused by various factors, such as injury from a fall, prolonged sitting on hard surfaces, childbirth, or pressure on the coccyx due to obesity. The pain may be localized or radiate to the lower back and buttocks, making sitting, standing, or moving uncomfortable.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the treatment process by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your tailbone pain. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination to identify the underlying causes of your pain.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that may include a combination of the following approaches:
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help realign the spine, reduce pressure on the tailbone, and alleviate tailbone pain.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the muscles around the tailbone, improve flexibility, and enhance joint stability.
Cushion Recommendations: We may suggest special cushions or seating modifications to reduce pressure on the tailbone during sitting.
Heat or Cold Therapy: The application of heat can help relax tense muscles, while cold therapy can reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
Pain Management: We may incorporate various pain-relieving techniques such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or trigger point therapy.
Lifestyle Modifications:
We may provide guidance on lifestyle changes, such as avoiding prolonged sitting, maintaining proper posture, and using proper body mechanics to prevent further aggravation of tailbone pain.
