The biggest challenge in recovering from Tailbone pain (coccydynia) is that most doctors don’t treat the tailbone itself. They may look at everything around the tailbone area, but pay little attention to the tailbone itself, avoiding it because it may be awkward. Without proper treatment, however, tailbone pain will become acute and severe in many circumstances. When that happens, even simply sitting for more than a few seconds becomes impossible. This is when tailbone pain becomes a major disruption of a person’s life. And while most doctors are looking at everything except the tailbone as the cause of tailbone pain, the condition may actually be getting worse. In cases like these, where the tailbone hurts from normal daily activity and the condition may be worsening, effective tailbone pain treatment can’t wait!

Causes of Tailbone Pain
There are two major types of tailbone pain causes. The most common is trauma or injury. The injury does not have to be direct to the tailbone: any trauma to the lower body may cause the tailbone to go out of alignment. The second major cause of tailbone pain is a result of sitting for long periods in a poor position or on a hard or narrow surface. It can be difficult to separate the symptoms of tailbone pain from it’s possible causes. Sitting for long periods may be a cause of tailbone pain, but the pain felt while sitting may be a symptom of something else. Tailbone pain may also be caused by other back problems such as nerve degeneration or as an after-effect of pregnancy. In any case, any tailbone pain treatment should begin with locating the actual source of the pain in order to find any tailbone pain relief.

Traditional Tailbone Pain Treatment
Like many other back issues, tailbone pain treatment is usually just treating pain symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers, donut-shaped pillows, and “try not to sit like that†are the usual advice when your tailbone hurts. Massage and physical therapy for the pelvic floor are sometimes recommended, but while these may give some temporary relief they do not address the cause of tailbone pain: incorrect alignment or movement of the tailbone. In cases of injury or trauma, the prescription may be “wait for the bruise to heal†without even considering that the trauma may have moved the tailbone out of alignment. The fact is that most doctors and pelvic floor therapists treating tailbone injuries look at everything in the pelvic floor area except the tailbone, it’s joint and movement. Effective tailbone pain relief requires treatment of the underlying cause: Tailbone motion itself.
