Fractured or Dislocated Coccyx; sound familiar?
Can you benefit from Coccyx treatment?
What you should know...
Did you injure your tailbone? Suspect that something has been wrong ever since? Has your doctor told you that you have coccydynia or that your tailbone was dislocated or fractured? If so, the next questions should be:
Top 4 questions for those diagnosed with Coccydynia:
- Is your coccyx in a normal position or is it bent, angled, hooked or displaced?
- Has your coccyx lost any of its natural range of motion?
- Have you experienced a loss of flexibility in your back hips and legs?
- Have you noticed a loss of strength or a feeling of fatigue or instability in your hips or legs?
These are what a doctor, familiar with the SacroCoccygeal or S/C syndrome, uses to determine what treatment is necessary for your coccydynia to improve.

Mission Statement
- To help those affected by tailbone or coccyx injuries.
- To promote the role of the coccyx as serving a dynamic and functional purpose within the pelvis and for the neural tissues of the spinal column.
- To help dismiss the notion that pain is the only symptom or the most important sign associated with the coccyx injuries.
- To explain the signs, symptoms and long term affects of coccygeal dysfunction
- To offer a treatment combining manual and medical resources for management of coccyx injuries and the associated SacroCoccygeal Syndrome
- Help develop a global network of physicians to diagnose and specifically treat the dysfunctional coccyx and its host of chronic pain and neuro-mechanical symptoms known as the SacroCoccygeal syndrome.
