Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain Treatment

Non-traumatic tailbone pain, or idiopathic coccydynia, refers to tailbone pain that develops without any direct injury or trauma to the area. Despite the absence of a physical injury, this pain can be just as debilitating and frustrating as traumatic tailbone pain.

Causes of Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain:

While there is no obvious external injury, non-traumatic tailbone pain can stem from various factors:

• Prolonged sitting on hard or uncomfortable surfaces
• Poor posture while seated, leading to chronic stress on the tailbone
• Obesity or increased body weight, which adds pressure to the coccyx
• Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, which can cause pain to radiate to the tailbone
• Degenerative changes in the coccygeal joints or ligaments over time

Symptoms of Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain:

• Persistent dull ache or sharp pain in the tailbone area
• Pain that worsens with sitting, especially on hard surfaces
• Discomfort during standing up from a sitting position
• Tenderness or sensitivity in the coccyx area
• Pain during bowel movements or sexual intercourse
• Radiating pain that extends to the lower back or hips
