Non-Traumatic Tailbone Pain Treatment
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
