Abstract

Coccydynia refers to pain in the region of the tailbone. Most cases are related to mild injury, trauma, and childbirth. The primary care provider will come across this complaint in a small portion of patients presenting with “low back pain.” There are no comprehensive guidelines for treatment of coccydynia. A thorough evaluation in the office with physical examination and imaging are essential. Specialty referrals should be considered for complex or concerning cases or with intractable pain. Injections, surgery, and neurostimulation are rare but acceptable options for certain patients
