What Is Tailbone Pain (Coccydynia)?
Your tailbone — or coccyx — is a small bone at the very base of your spine. When it gets injured, inflamed, or put under too much pressure, it causes a condition called coccydynia.
The pain is usually felt:
• At the base of the spine, between the buttocks
• When sitting down or getting up from a chair
• During bowel movements or intercourse
• After long periods of driving or desk work
It can feel like a dull ache, a sharp stab, or constant pressure. And it doesn’t always show up clearly on a regular X-ray — which is one reason it often goes undiagnosed.
Common Causes of Tailbone Pain?
Tailbone pain can develop due to several reasons:
• A fall or direct impact on the tailbone
• Childbirth — pressure during delivery can injure the coccyx
• Sitting on hard surfaces for long periods
• Cycling, rowing, or other repetitive strain activities
• Being overweight or losing weight rapidly
• No clear cause (idiopathic coccydynia) — still very treatable
Tailbone pain is nearly 5 times more common in women than men. Postpartum coccydynia is one of the most frequently missed diagnoses in new mothers in Chennai. If your pain started after delivery, don’t ignore it — it is very treatable.
Symptoms of Tailbone Pain
Understanding your symptoms is the first step toward recovery. Most patients at our Chennai clinic report:
Localized Tenderness: Extreme sensitivity or pain when the tailbone area is touched.
Sitting Discomfort: Intense pain that worsens when sitting on hard surfaces for long periods.
Transition Pain: A sharp “jolt” of pain when moving from a sitting to a standing position.
Pelvic Pressure: A feeling of heaviness or aching in the lower pelvic region.
Pain during Activities: Discomfort during bowel movements or while leaning back while sitting.
If you experience these symptoms, consult a tailbone pain specialist in Chennai immediately.
Diagnosis of Coccyx Pain
We follow a structured diagnosis approach:
- Clinical examination
- Posture and movement analysis
- X-ray or MRI (if needed)
- Pain mapping techniques
This helps us design a targeted non-surgical treatment plan.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Tailbone Pain
Many patients believe surgery is the only way out, but 90% of tailbone pain cases can be treated without surgery. At Epione, we offer:
Ganglion Impar Nerve Block: A precise, ultrasound-guided injection that targets the nerve bundle near the tailbone to “switch off” pain signals instantly.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A modern procedure using specialized waves to provide long-lasting relief for chronic sufferers.
Regenerative Therapy (PRP): Using the body’s own healing factors to repair strained ligaments around the coccyx.
- Prolotherapy:Injections that stimulate your body’s own healing response to strengthen the ligaments around the tailbone. Especially useful when joint instability is involved.
Specialized Pelvic Floor Rehab: Targeted physiotherapy to balance the muscles pulling on the tailbone.
Do You Need Surgery for Tailbone Pain?
Almost certainly not. Surgery to remove the tailbone (coccygectomy) is rarely needed. It carries risks, requires months of recovery, and outcomes are not guaranteed.
At Epione, we consider surgery only as a last resort — and in our experience, the vast majority of patients achieve full relief with non-surgical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can tailbone pain go away completely without surgery?
Yes — for most patients, it does. The right combination of physiotherapy, injections, or nerve treatment resolves coccydynia completely in the majority of cases.
What is the best treatment for tailbone pain?
Non-surgical treatments like injections, PRP therapy, and physiotherapy are highly effective.
Is the ganglion impar nerve block painful?
No — it is very well tolerated. A small skin numbing injection is given first. The whole procedure takes under 15 minutes and most patients drive home the same day.
I've been using a coccyx cushion but still have pain. What next?
A cushion helps, but it doesn’t treat the underlying cause. If pain continues beyond a few weeks, a proper diagnosis and targeted treatment are needed. Book a consultation with us.
How long does treatment take?
Recent injuries often respond in 4–6 weeks. Chronic pain (more than 6 months) may take longer, but significant improvement is still very achievable with the right plan.
