Coccydynia is pain in the coccyx (tailbone), often triggered by prolonged sitting, trauma, childbirth, or repetitive strain. It can cause localized discomfort, radiating pain to the lower back or buttocks, and worsens with pressure. Early diagnosis and physiotherapy-led care—including posture correction, manual therapy, and tailored exercises—are effective for recovery.
Causes of Coccydynia:
- Direct trauma (falls or impact)
- Repetitive strain (cycling, rowing)
- Prolonged sitting on hard surfaces
- Childbirth-related injury
- Obesity or rapid weight loss
- Degenerative joint changes
- Infections or rarely, tumors
Symptoms of Coccydynia:
- Localized pain at the tailbone
- Pain worsened by sitting, rising, or leaning back
- Tenderness around the coccyx
- Discomfort during bowel movements or intercourse
- Referred pain to buttocks or lower back
- Difficulty sitting for long periods
