Yes, this kind of therapy can help with coccyx pain. ”I am trying to find more information on coccyx pain and possible treatment. My mother has suffered from this for over a year now, and she refuses to see a doctor. She is scheduled for surgery in just 4 weeks, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Any suggestions?” This is one prominent question I usually get from people.

It sounds as though the trouble you are having is called a “Coccydynia” or tailbone pain. For this kind of injury, physical therapy is the best option. However, for immediate relief from the pain, I often suggest a chiropractor who specializes in manual manipulation. The key to success with either approach is finding someone familiar with these types of injuries. Often they are misdiagnosed or go undetected. It is also important to realize that this type of injury, it may actually get worse before it gets better. If you must seek surgical intervention then please consider the following suggestion.

Before allowing your mother’s surgeon to remove what he/she will call “dead bone” from her coccyx, you might find that a medical malpractice attorney/lawyer will be happy to review the facts of your mother’s case. Most cases like this involve misdiagnosis and can lead to a larger more complicated surgery with longer recovery times. A qualified lawyer would provide his or her input. At least it’s free and may save you from the pain and expense of a surgery that isn’t necessary.

I’m not personally aware of any specific medications or medications that could cause your mother’s problem, but it is possible the drugs she is taking for this condition may be making her more uncomfortable. It sounds as though at their root is an injury to one of the bones in her tailbone, and as a result, she has been experiencing pain from this. If this is the case, then physical therapy would be the answer to her problem.
