coccydynia

 

Ask a PT Response: "Trying to treat coccydynia on your own is a pretty difficult task. Often times there can be issues at other locations besides your coccyx such as your sacraliliac joint and pelvis which can contribute to your symptomology. A physical therapists will be able to determine what areas need to be worked on. ie. strength issues, flexibility issues, joint mobility issues, tissue strain/stress issues, etc. Treatment options for a PT can include a variety of options including trigger point/myofascial release, muscle energy technique, joint mobilization (external or internal), modalities, and exercises for stretching and strengthening which can also include kegel exercsies. Best of luck to you."
