First ever animation of proposed functional relationship of Spinal cord, Dura & Coccyx
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.
Kemper Tailbone Injury Foundation
Mission Statement
To help those affected by coccyx dysfunction and its many suspected
neuromusculoskeletal pathologies.
To help generate interest in additional research to study how restoring
coccygeal function may:
- To help those affected by coccyx dysfunction and its clinically measurable impact on nerves, muscles, joints and the birth canal
- To help raise interest in more research on coccyx function and its dysfunctional clinical syndrome
- To align with Obstetricians in their efforts to increase safe vaginal births (VBAC) for those otherwise healthy women affected by Coccygeal obstruction of the birth canal's outlet diameter
- To form a Global network of doctors who view the coccyx as an important part of pelvic function as opposed to a vestigial remnant
To quickly dispel the notion that pain or "Coccydynia" is the only symptom, or the most important sign, associated with coccygeal dysfunction
To provide a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment to relieve or cure the affects of the SacroCoccygeal (SC) syndrome
Progression from Coccyx-induced Abnormal Dural tension (left) to normal neutral position (middle) to tension relieving coccygeal extension (right).
Many types of treatments are available for the coccyx. One of the most comprehensive sites listing the diverse range of treatments, doctors, therapists and layperson opinions is www.coccyx.org.
Simplifying a Complex Problem
A loosely held, widespread and lingering opinion that the coccyx is "Vestigial" and serves little or no purpose, is now is being replaced with new guidelines for Coccygeal function. A clear and measurable Coccygeal range of motion, far greater than previously known, has been observed in thousands of clinical cases. Continued »
