This site is intended to provide information about coccydynia, but you will have to go to a doctor (usually an orthopedic specialist) for advice on and treatment of your particular problems. Use the links on the right to understand the causes of coccyx pain, the diagnosis and treatment. Most coccyx pain is caused by the coccyx dislocating when you sit.

If other treatments fail, removal of the coccyx may be effective in suitable cases. This is best carried out by an surgeon who has a record of experience and success with this operation.
