Relief from Coccyx Pain (Coccydynia) in Istanbul
Persistent tailbone pain affecting sitting, driving, and daily life. Most cases resolve with targeted injection and manual therapy — surgery is rarely needed.
What is Coccydynia?
Coccydynia is pain localised to the coccyx (tailbone), typically worsened by sitting, especially on hard surfaces, and by transitions from sitting to standing. It may follow trauma, childbirth, or arise spontaneously.
Most patients improve with conservative management. A small proportion require coccygeal nerve blocks or, in refractory cases, surgical coccygectomy — an effective procedure with high patient satisfaction.
- More common in women (5:1 ratio) and overweight individuals
- X-ray and MRI rule out fracture, tumour, or infection
- Coccygeal manipulation under local anaesthetic can be highly effective
- Coccygectomy has 80–90% success in carefully selected patients
Targeted Treatment for Tailbone Pain
Conservative Care
Coccyx cushions, NSAIDs, and physiotherapy (including internal mobilisation by a trained therapist) resolve most cases.
Coccygeal Nerve Block
Image-guided injection of corticosteroid and local anaesthetic provides rapid relief — often repeated once or twice.
Ganglion Impar Block
Fluoroscopy-guided block of the ganglion impar — effective for refractory coccydynia and pelvic floor pain.
Coccygectomy
Surgical removal of the coccyx for refractory cases. Day-case procedure with 6–12 weeks recovery; 80–90% patient satisfaction.
