Relieve Your Tailbone Pain - No Drugs or Surgery

Our clinics have successfully treated most cases of chronic tailbone pain (coccydynia or coccygodynia) for over twenty years. This delicate area of the body may be subjected to repeat traumas through life from falls and chronic seated postures. Pelvic surgery, as well as physical and sexual abuse, are other causes of tailbone pain. When the body heals, the ligaments that attach to the tailbone may become adhered, causing recurring symptoms that range from uncomfortable to totally debilitating. Clear Passage Physical Therapy® has over two decades of experience evaluating and successfully treating tailbone pain (coccyx pain), without drugs or surgery.

Ligaments can cause stress and tailbone pain

Ligaments of the pelvis, sacrum, and coccyx can all have a profound effect on tailbone pain.

Tailbone pain can affect all aspects of a person’s life as well as the lives of families and friends. Tailbone pain that has persisted for more than three months is considered chronic. Symptoms may include difficulty with sitting, painful intercourse (for women), constipation, and even severe headaches. Some people report concurrent low back.

Movement of the tailbone can cause pain

A fall, surgery, or accident can move the tailbone out of its normal place, causing constipation, tailbone, or low back pain.

In all of these situations, the coccyx may be pushed into an awkward angle. The result may be moderate to debilitating tailbone pain, often spreading into the low back, hip, or neighboring structures. Reproductive function can also be affected by this mechanism. Examples of problems can include inability to have an orgasm or difficulty maintaining an erection, decreased libido, and  infertility.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy has successfully treated tailbone pain (coccydynia or coccygodynia) since 1989. Over the last two decades, we have become experts at treating this  condition. Most of our tailbone pain patients have searched for years to find relief, before finding us. For most of them, the search for pain relief ends with good or total resolution at one of our clinics.

Few clinics or physicians offer treatment for tailbone pain, other than medications to mask the pain. Chiropractic care may help temporarily, but unless we treat the strong, underlying adhesions that pull bony structures out of balance, pain resolution does not occur.

Most physicians agree that surgery is a treatment of last resort. While surgery can address adhesions and other mechanical problems, surgery also causes more adhesions to form. One surgical option includes removing part of the tailbone. This has brought relief for some; for others, it has brought a lifetime of debilitating pain.
